2014 "Real" Book Challenge
A few days ago, I was invited by the amazing ladies at Fic Fare and Swoony Boys Podcast to participate in their "Real" Book Challenge.
Now, considering just how addicted I am to my Kindle, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to be able to pull it off. But then I looked at the bookshelves across the room from me and counted 13 books that I haven't read yet. I own them, mind you...but haven't read them. (And as I type this, I remember that another book I ordered should arrive today).
Plus, I do love the way a good book feels in my hands. And the way I can use cute little post-its to mark my favorite passages. And how some of the books are signed by my favorite authors.
Don't get me wrong -- I am not even close to giving up my Kindle (THE HORROR!), but I am all in on this challenge.
I am aiming for 30...but really hope to leave that number in the dust. I'll update this post as I finish each book just so you know where things stand. Accountability keeps me honest :)
