Into Week 3

Well, I've finished Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone. The story was good enough, I guess I just didn't jump onto the HP bandwagon when it all began. Maybe having watched the movies spoiled it a bit for me. I can at least cross one off my SRC list.

I will now move on to read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. Though Jane Eyre or North and South seem to be waiting in the wings (my night stand) for me.

Week 3 - A new challenge for myself

As we are in week three, I trudge along, reading my HP#1 in bits and pieces of time where I can. With a project I wanted to complete needing my full attention of vision, I picked up an audio book at the library.

Now, you may be saying to yourself...what challenge would that be. It's the audio part. I am a visual person, through and through. I have tried, many times over, to get into audio books so that I can enjoy a good story while pursuing the weeds in my garden or working on a handknit project. Alas...it drives me utterly mad! I can go weeks driving to work and back, never turning the radio on. Weird, I know.

So, I have now completed A Christmas Guest by Anne Perry, my audio challenge!

One for the SRC2, but not on my list...

I took a break from Harry Potter Book 1 to read a little light bit o' romance.

The Perils of Pursuing a Prince by Julia London.

I do enjoy a quick read, one that I can finish within a 24 hour period.

A big thank you to my local county library for the new installation of "Books to Go". A great circular shelf full of new paperbacks by the entrance/exit, hence "Books to Go".

Now I will resume HP #1...Have a great week!

Week Two

I'm as slow as a turtle on a very hot day. Wow, everyone has really gotten a ton of reading done.

As of week two, I am a third done with HP Book #1. Lunch and before bed is all I've been able to do so far. Maybe with summer break coming up soon I will get more reading time in.

Off and running on Week 1

Hello from the Pacific Northwest. Sherrill here. My challenge is to read those Harry Potter books. I did not jump on the band wagon when it was a big hub-bub...so I'm a little behind, as per the norm in my life.

Besides my first time through the HP books, I have Mansfield Park, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Tender is the Night from the other book-blog I belong to.

I always read before going to sleep, but I'll need to step it up to get these books done before the end of the SRC.

Happy Week 1 to all!
