So far this year I’ve read 69 books! I thought it was time to check on how I’m doing with the reading challenge I started in January. I’ve been able to add a book to 23 of the 50 categories.
I realize that for some of these categories I’m going to have to really dig to find a book for them. Anyway, here are the categories with the books I’ve read added to them.
A book with more than 500 pages – I’ve come so close with this one, but all the books that are over 400 pages fall just shy of 500 – sigh.

Intentional Simplicity 
Oh my goodness Jennifer! You are an inspiration to me! With eight children and running your blog, where do you find the time?! No really, I would like to know! I have two and a blog, which is keeping me very busy. I really miss reading… granted I do read with my toddler a lot. 🙂

Reading is an addiction with me. 🙂 I read in the car, and it takes us thirty minutes to get to church so that’s a lot of reading there. I also LOVE my Kindle. I do a lot of reading after lights out. 🙂 Sometimes I stay up too late, but hey, I HAVE to read.

I love to read, too and with 30 min to church, I’d love to read too so whenever Jon calls to talk to Jon, I whip out my Kindle 😉 I was standing in a LONG line at Dollar General today and whipped it out again :).

I think you meant when Jon calls to talk to Pierre. 😉 I read a lot too while Hugo’s on the phone and I’m waiting for him to finish. My Kindle goes everywhere with me – one of the beauties of the Kindle – small enough to fit in my purse. Not all books are that small. 🙂
