I have found a few challenges that will be able to overlap a bit to finish them.  Now, I have not been very successful in the past few years with reading as much as I would like.  Some of that is having little ones and some of that is poor time management.  I am challenging myself to do more reading this year and less television and internet.  With that in mind here is what I am attempting...



5 Classic by the end of February

1.   Pride and Prejudice
2.   A Christmas Carol
3.   Little Women
4.   Frankenstein
5.   Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre
(not sure which yet)





Twelve Months, Twelve Books
right from my own bookshelves...
These have to be books that have been on my TBR list for more than 6 months.

The To Be Read List

1.   Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S. Whitney
2.   Shepherds Abiding by Jan Karon
(no, still have not read it)
3.   Light from Heaven by Jan Karon

This challenge is a culmination of whatever I can read from the lists above by the end of February and when the spring challenge comes along I will make a new culmination list.

I am only adding the following that I am currently working on or have in my stack from last semester...
