I have decided I really need to broaden my reading horizons. Besides the fact that have now reread the Twilight series for an embarrassing five times, more or less, I have a whole shelf of books to be read! And, I was planning on reading some somewhat educational books during this year that I just haven't gotten to yet.
So, here I am . I am going to make a list of books that I am DETERMINED to read over the summer- some fiction, some nonfiction, some educational. And I here promise (maybe) that I am going to stop reading Twilight and finally read something else! (Actually I have read a few other books during my "Twilight Phase." I just haven't done any consistent reading lately.)
As an incentive, if I complete my reading list- and I will be checking in regularly to cross off my completed books- I will reward myself with the Twilight movie book. Just kidding (maybe).
Here is my summer reading list:
Reversed Thunder- Eugene Peterson
The Lamb Wins- Richard Bewes
The American Frugal Housewife
Great Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe ( I love Poe!)
Heart and Soul- Maeve Binchy
Revolution in World Missions- Yohannon
The six original Charlotte Mason volumes from Ambleside Online
White Soul- Dodson
Unpretty- Rogers
A Thomas Jefferson Education- DeMille
There's my goal. I am resolved to complete this reading list by the end of August! Hopefully, I will have some good book reviews to go along with my reading.

Oh I wish you luck! It looks like a good list and I think you have given yourself a good incentive. I have reread both Twilight and Harry Potter series WAY too many times lol so I know how you feel. :) Julie http://funinthesunmom.blogspot.com
