Fall Into Reading 2011

Hi, everyone!

The cooler temperatures and the yellow and red foliage are definite signs that summer is gone! I can't complain because we had a very hot and dry summer, and I am actually pleased about the cooler temperatures (although it was still 25 degrees Celsius yesterday!). I love this time of year!!

Callapidder Days is hosting the Fall Into Reading 2011 Challenge, a new one that I have signed-up for!

If you want to join the challenge as well, here are the details:

• Make a list of books you want to read (or finish reading) this fall. Your list can be as long or as short as you’d like.

• Write a blog post containing your list and submit it to this post at Callapidder Days' blog.

• Get reading! The challenge goes from September 23rd through December 21st.

• Check out other participants’ lists and add to your own to-read-someday pile, if you wish!

• Write a post about your challenge experience in December, telling us all about whether you reached your goals and how Fall Into Reading went for you. But remember: this is a low-pressure challenge that should be fun. As long as you do some reading this fall (and enjoy it!), that’s good enough for me.
