This spring, I decided to read six nonfiction books and five fiction books. How’d I do? Well…
I finished all the fiction, plus read another book or two. Not surprising. And I finished all but one of the nonfiction, while also fitting in a few nonfiction books for blog tours. I was pretty [...]

Okay, I’m not sure how this happened, but Spring Reading Thing 2008 is about to come to a close! I guess the 85-degree weather should have clued me in, but I’ve been so busy adjusting to school being over that I haven’t even thought about the seasons officially changing.
Summer will arrive this Friday, so [...]

I’ve been reading all winter long, of course, but — true to form — I’ve been reading primarily fiction, while allowing those nonfiction books sit, lonely and unread, on the shelf. Oh, I’ve picked up several of them, started them, read a few chapters, even enjoyed them, but then I abandon them and return to whatever novel is [...]

Note from Katrina: My mom told me several weeks ago that she’d like to participate in the Spring Reading Thing, even though she doesn’t have a blog. Since she’s a faithful reader and regular commenter here, and since she is, after all, my mom, I told her I would gladly put her list on [...]
