Today is the last day of Katrina's challenege: Spring Reading Thing. And, she's asked those of us who participated to give a wrap-up. Here is where this post's quirky title comes in! LOL
My original list was very different from what I accomplished. Of the four books I set out to read, I completed two of them: Bringing Up Boys and Obsession.
However, I completed another five: When You Rise Up, Kingdom Come, Gone, Homeschooling For Dummies, and the book I won from one of Katrina's awesome giveaways, Lightning and Lace.
On the plus side, I completed all seven of my books in the first 8 weeks of the challenge. Which means...I haven't completed any more since mid-May. *sigh* I really pooped out after the fiction ran out! LOL While completing that many books in that short of time after not reading for so long felt AMAZING, once I got to some of the non-fiction which needed full concentration and brain expansion capabilities - I got "de-motivated'! LOL
But overall, it was a VERY positive experience! THANKS KATRINA! You rock!

I know how you feel about non-fiction books! I did find with the ones I choose that they kept my intrest and I will try to read more NF!
Gosh, Beth...this post had me chuckling. I can so relate and I loved your title...hehehehe
I guess you didn't see my response to one of your comments on one of my post. I have been trying to figure out how to center my header. Did you size your header to in paint or some other program or did it dl to exact measurements? I notice yours is perfectly centered.
Yeah, I have to mix my nonfiction in with the fiction or I get de-motivated too. I like your post title. :) But you still did a great job -- seven books in eight weeks is great! Thanks for being part of the Spring Reading Thing!
I'm impressed that you even have time to read at.all!!!!
Your kids are adorable!!! And, blond, blond, BLOND!
That's okay. A little pooping out is fine. I know that my reading goes in phases like that too.
I have that same experience with non-fiction - even when I really do want the knowledge in the book!
