I heard about this at No Ordinary Moments and thought that this sounded like just the thing to get me reading a bit more and dodging a bit less. Except for the hobby books (and Meagan Francis’ book), these are all Kindle books. I’m reading by category this time around so, here’s my plan:

Wow! Impressive list!
The Peacemaker is on my shelf waiting to be read. I would like to read The Pioneer Woman and Reluctant Entertainer.

Thanks.
I didn’t realize until I wrote it down in my planner what I’d committed myself to. We’ll see how it goes :).
Oh my goodness, SO many of the books on your list have caught my eye — parenting, photography, quilting. I think you just single-handedly filled my Amazon.com shopping cart. 🙂 Awesome list. Thanks for being part of the challenge!
If one of the books that caught your eye was Honey, I Wrecked the Kids — I’m sorry.
The more I read of it the less I liked where it was going. I do have a new one I’m reading in its place that I can strongly recommend: Connected Parenting. It seems to be working for both our kids and for us (well me, my husband won’t try anything unless he sees that it is working first).
Oh man…I forgot about the Pioneer Woman book. I meant to add that to my list as well! 🙂
Happy Spring and Happy Reading!
I bought it on pre-order and it’s just sitting there mocking me on my Kindle list. I am bound and determined to whittle that thing down a bit, you know?
