Welcome to Spring Reading Thing 2012! The weather here has been warm for weeks, and I’m not complaining. I’m excited to officially welcome spring, and with it…Spring Reading Thing 2012!
I hope you’re ready to read! And whatever you’re reading for this challenge, I hope you enjoy each and every book!
Here’s a brief recap of how to be a part of Spring Reading Thing 2012:
- Make a list of books you want to read (or finish reading) this spring. Your list can be as long or as short as you’d like. (Also, feel free to modify your list during the challenge if it’s not working for you.)
- Write a blog post containing your list and submit it to this post using the Mr. Linky below.
- Get reading! The challenge goes from today, March 20th, through June 20th.
- Check out other participants’ lists and add to your own to-read-someday pile!
- Write a post about your challenge experience in June, telling us all about whether you reached your goals and how Spring Reading Thing went for you. But remember: this is a low-pressure challenge that should be fun. As long as you do some reading this spring (and enjoy it!), that’s good enough for me.
There’s a Mr. Linky at the end of this post. Please use it to link to your blog post containing your Spring Reading Thing list. Remember to link to your specific post, not just your general blog homepage. People will be stopping by for days (or weeks!) and when you link to your specific post, it will make it easier for everyone to find your reading list. Also, if you don’t mind, please link back here from your post so that your readers can come check out all the other participants.
Okay, it’s time to get started. Post your list, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and check out all the other bloggers who love to read as much as you do!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I will be giving away two prizes as part of Spring Reading Thing 2012:
- A $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com
- A $10 gift certificate to Amazon.com
To be eligible for these prizes, you must:
- Post your intitial Spring Reading Thing 2012 post (and enter it on the linky list on my blog) by midnight on March 24th.
- AND post a wrap-up post on your blog at the end of the challenge (and enter it on the linky list I’ll have up then) by midnight on June 24th.
That’s it. I’ll randomly draw the winners shortly after the end of the challenge.

Thanks for hosting, I can’t wait to get around and see all the fun lists.
Now I know Spring is really here! Looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading!!
So happy it’s spring and time to kick up my reading a notch. Also, can’t wait to get more suggestions to add to my reading list! Thanks for hosting!
I am taking part in the challenge with a list of books from my bookshelf. These have been waiting to be read for too long! I will read a couple books for review (and maybe one that I just ordered from Amazon) but will stay focused on the books I listed!
Great reading challenge!
Great idea – keeps me focused!
Whoops, forgot to include my blog title! Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading this Spring and am elated that the beginning of this challenge coincides with our Spring break. That will help me get off to a good start! Thanks for hosting.
Thanks for hosting! I always love seeing what everyone is reading!
Yeah, year #6!!! Woohoo! I feel like a veteran or something…
This is a neat idea! Thank you for hosting!
I skipped Fall Into Reading because of our new baby, and I really missed it. I’m ready to get going!
I’m ready! Thanks for hosting!
Just put my list up. Thanks again for hosting. Your challenges are the only ones I participate in.
Love the low-pressure nature of it and always love seeing everyone’s lists.
Thanks for hosting!

I am looking forward to this challenge and finding some new titles among the other participants. Thank you for hosting.
So excited to be back! Can’t wait to see what everyone’s reading.
I was so antsy all day. My school blocks everything and I was unable to link my post here until a few minutes ago. I’ve had my list ready for days. I can’t wait to see what everyone else is reading. Good luck to everyone.
I will make my list and post it on Thursday. Thanks for sharing!
Making Our Life Matter´s last post ..Countdown 2012
I’ll be doing it somewhat “virtually” this time (virtually virtual?) – my list is up on my Goodreads account, under Spring Reading 2012 http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7223888?shelf=spring-reading-2012
(I need to add a couple more books to the list – I was at a lost of inspiration. Will go through my bookcase and Unread Nook list shortly. Aiming at about 20-25 books)
(I hope this is ok!!)

And we’re off and reading. Hopefully I have a realistic list for the Spring.
Thanks Katrina, for hosting Spring Reading Thing. Happy reading everyone.
This is new for me but I’m looking forward to the challenge! My list isn’t terribly long compared to some of them I see on here but I’m trying to be realistic. Thanks for hosting us, Katrina.
Joining a few days late – was away until last night. So excited for this – thanks again for hosting!!!
Yay! Thank you for hosting once again. Let’s get our “read” on!
I can’t believe I missed the start of this! I never miss it! :-O
My list will be up later today!
Thanks for hosting, again, Katrina!

Am a little late in signing up – sounds awesome though and I’m excited to participate! Love how casual it is! It’ll be nice to have a little extra boost of motivation – or that’s what I’m hoping for
Look forward to meeting new people to!
Even though I’m late, I’m entering this reading challenge! I am so excited to be a part of it. Thanks MizB of shouldbereading.wordpress.com for spreading the word! I am really excited to see what other people will be reading as well and having more blogs to check out!
I’m getting a late start on this, but I’m in! Happy Reading!
I know it’s super late in getting this up, but I finally did!
Thanks for hosting again and I hope you are feeling better ~ and that the trip to Barbados was relaxing!!
Jolanthe´s last post ..My Spring Reading List
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I had a space reserved for this on my challenge page but wasn’t paying enough attention to the calender and missed the deadline!
Oh, wait. That’s for prizes? No problem….off to post a reading list!
Gina, book dragon´s last post ..Happy Easter
Thanks for hosting! I love to see what others are reading. I hope your arm heals quickly.
I just found this and am jumping in anyway! Thanks for doing this!
You know last time I joined in one of the reading challenges was back in 2006. I can’t believe it’s been that long, but I’m so glad to be back joining in again
Thank you for hosting this great feature and I’m glad to see it still going strong after all these years
