2018 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge sign-up

2018 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge

The Alphabet Soup Challenge is hosted by Escape with Dollycas Into A Good Book and means that by December 31, 2018 my bowl must be full of one book for each letter of the Alphabet. I did this challenge last year for the first time and really had fun with it, so I’m ready to give it another go. I am carefully evaluating my reading challenges for this year and only keeping a few, so this one made the list.

The challenge is to read one book that has a title starting with every letter of the alphabet. You can drop the A’s and The’s from the book titles. The First Main Word Needs To Be The Letter You Are Counting, Except For those pesky Q, X AND Z titles where the word that starts with the challenge letter can be anywhere in the title.

The eleventh annual What’s In A Name challenge is once again hosted by The Worm Hole. I began the fun in 2009 so I’m playing again, although in keeping with my One Little Word for this year, LIGHTEN, I am carefully evaluating my reading challenges and paring down. This year I am repeating my attempt to identify books on my shelves that will fulfill my challenges so that I stick to my TBR stacks. This was pretty successful last year.

The rules are simple-Read one book from each category during the year. [Read more…] about What’s In a Name 2018 sign-up

One Little Word 2018

January 4, 2018 by Sue Leave a Comment

It’s time again to choose my word for the year. It’s an attempt to choose a word that influences my state of mind throughout the year and creates a structure and framework for my life. Thanks to Ali Edwards for the idea. I love the idea and it has really impacted my life in many ways. I am again signed up for her workshop to document my word each month and create pages in my scrapbook that talk about my journey.

For 2018 I have decided my word is LIGHTEN. I want to lighten my life in many ways: my stress, my stuff, my body. I want to throw off the things holding me down. I’m looking forward to a great year!

Here are my past word choices:
2009-SERENE
2010-CREATE
2011-BALANCE
2012-VARIETY
2013-MEMORY
2014-MEMORY
2015-EMBRACE
2016-FOCUS
2017-CREATE
