The Baby Steps Challenge

I thought our first challenge should be a fairly short and simple one. Nattie often talked about taking "baby steps." So, combined with her beloved Mt. To Be Read, I decided on The Baby Steps Challenge. We cannot possibly read everything we want to. We don't have time. ((My husband would file for divorce))

So, take a baby step. Or 2. Or 3.

Oct, Nov, Dec and then we leap into a new year. Before that new year greets us, we shall knock 3 books off the pile.

This can work two ways.

Option A. Pick 3 books you own but have not read and read them before 2008.

Option B. Pick 3 books you have on a To Be Read list and read them before 2008.

If you have a blog and want to be linked as a participant, please, send me your information, and I will get a list up in the sidebar. Feel free to share your choices and your thoughts on those choices.

Happy Reading!

The Nattie Challenge

For those of you who did not know Natalie, you can visit her blog: Nattierosewrites. Her wonderful Daddy keep sit updated with some of her old writings and sometimes we are blessed with an entry from the man himself.

Natalie was a reader. Boy, is that an understatement. Natalie was THE reader. She epitomized the phrase "So Many Books, So Little Time." Unfortunately for us, Nat's time was even shorter than anyone imagined. She left behind a legacy of books and reading, and this Challenge Blog is to honor her.

There will be a challenge going at all times. Sometimes, more than one, but let's start with one and see how that goes. Each challenge will, somehow, relate to Natalie. You do not need a blog to participate. You can read along any way that works for you. If you do have a blog, I will start a list in the sidebar that keeps track of participants. If you do not have a blog, you can send any reviews or thoughts to me, via email, and I will be happy to share them here. If you have ideas for challege themes, then please, pass those along too. This isn't MY blog. It is Nattie's.

Thank you for visiting. Happy reading!
