Spring Reading Thing 2011: One Week Left!

Not surprisingly, I’ve been completely slacking when it comes to finishing up the last two nonfiction books on my SRT ’11 list. But we have one week left, so I’m not giving up. Let’s finish strong!

I  will be posting the official wrap-up post (complete with a Mr. Linky to collect your links) on Tuesday, June 21st. So you can join me in reading right up until midnight on the 20th, and hopefully, we’ll be able to accomplish some of our goals.

I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone did on their personal goals! I hope you will take time to write a post letting us all know how Spring Reading thing 2011 went for you. Once you have your post written and posted on your blog, you can come here next Tuesday and add your link to the Mr. Linky I’ll have ready.

I don’t have any specific requirements for your wrap-up post. Feel free to just ramble about your spring reading experiences — that works for me! (And I admit, I tend to ramble, too.) But if you like a little more structure or direction, here are some questions that can help guide your post. (Remember — these are just suggestions and are optional. You can approach your wrap-up post in whatever way works for you!)

  • Did you finish reading all the books on your spring reading list? If not, why not?
  • Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?
  • What was your favorite book that you read this spring? Least favorite? Why?
  • Did you discover a new author or genre this spring? Did you love them? Not love them?
  • Did you learn something new because of Spring Reading Thing 2011 – something about reading, about yourself, or about a topic you read about?
  • What was your favorite thing about the challenge?

The official wrap-up post and Mr. Linky will go live next Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. EST.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

And don’t forget — you only have a few days left to see if you can finish your Spring Reading Thing books!

    I have surpassed my goal of 30 by reading almost 40 books, including 8 nonfiction. I have been reading my buns off lately!

    I’m just N O W seeing this .. and I gotta tell you –man that sucks! I totally would have gotten into this! I guess there is always Fall. I only saw this post because I was surfing No Ordinary Moments blog. However I’ve read a few books this month – most I posted reviews about on my blog. However they were free books from various websites. I have yet to do my own personal reading. I have one more book to finish and review, then I can start on my non-fiction list. This is very encouraging and look forward to next time, if I remember!

  4. I finished!! Woohooo! I am trying to finish 1 more before then just to “finish strong.” :-)

    I just finished my Spring Reading Challenge today. I managed to read 14 books for the challenge. Thanks again for hosting this challenge. I actually read more books than I thought I would.
