Spring Reading Thing 2009 - Wrap Up


  • Did you finish reading all the books on your spring reading list? If not, why not?
Yep, I finished all of the books on my list. I made a much more reasonable goal for myself and was able to meet it!
  • Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?
I went with the same list. I really enjoy having a list to go from. When I finish up a book its not so hard to decide what I am going to read next.
  • What was your favorite book that you read this fall? Least favorite? Why?
My favorite book this Spring was certainly World without End. I really loved this book. I love how it was a sequel to Pillars of the Earth but you didn't have to read it to understand the story.

My least favorite book was Confessions of a Shopaholic. I enjoyed the book but didn't really get into the book until about 3/4 the way through.
  • Did you learn something new because of Spring Reading Thing 2009 — something about reading, or yourself, or a topic you read about?
I learned a lot from reading The Five Love Languagues. I learned so much about myself and my husband.
  • What was your favorite thing about the challenge?
I love the relaxed feel of the challenge. But setting some goals and trying to following through with them.

Good job, Lindsay! Glad you liked The Five Love Languages -- we read it years ago, but still refer to it regularly.

Thanks again for being part of the challenge!

Confessions of a Shopaholic is on my TBR list, but probably won't get to it until the fall reading challenge.

What a really neat challenge!! each year, I challenge myself to read as many books as my age. Part of the challenge is to read a variety of books too- non-fiction, self-discovery, fiction, etc. I have really enjoyed it! I am half-way there right now.

Hope you had a great weekend! Thanks for your comment on my new blog!
