What’s In a Name 2018 sign-up

January 4, 2018 by Sue Leave a Comment

What's In A Name 2018 logoWhat’s In a Name 2018

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

Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2017 wrap-up

Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2017

I’ve done this challenge every year of its existence so this was year #5. I sign up every year for Mt. Ararat at 48 books and manage to wheeze to the top by December. I stuck with the same level this year and hiked quite steadily up to Mt. Ararat, reaching it in the fall, but my reading stalled out in December. I managed 59 books by finishing a TBR on New Year’s Eve, but missed that elusive Mt. Kilimanjaro level by one book! I’m proud that I got so many books off my shelves, though.

Thanks to the host of this challenge, Bev at My Reader’s Block. [Read more…] about Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2017 wrap-up
