Sometimes I think about reading one book for an entire year. And sometimes I think about reading one book a day for an entire year. I don't know if I could do either. I'm not even entirely sure how to go about doing the first one... would I have to read part every day? Would I have to start over again as soon as I finished it? I guess since this is my challenge idea, I would make up the rules.

I think I would make myself read at least part every day. Maybe have a page limit like I have to read 30-40 pages from the book every day. I don't know what book I would choose. I would probably want a longer book, but I would also want a book that I have at least read one time so I know I won't hate it. But maybe making myself read and reread any one book would make me appreciate it, if not come to like/love it. Or maybe it would have the opposite effect and make me hate it, no matter what the book.

See how many things there are to think about before starting such a challenge? I think I need to read more books to try and decide what book will be the one. And now that I've written this post, I actually want to try. I think I'll set a goal to try and have a book by September. September is a good starting point. I miss having something new to do in September now that I'm not in school any more, so I'll make up something for me to do.

PS I think this is the longest blog post I've ever written, but I just had the idea to maybe read HDM as my book. I know it's three books, but you can buy it as one. Does that count? Since it's my challenge I will say yes and it is officially in the running.

April Reading

My birthday is in April and as a present to myself I am letting myself read whatever I want and buy whatever books I want (I have a B&N gift card and an Amazon gift certificate). So that means a lot of YA and rereads.

That said, I have also decided to participate in The 4 Month Challenge, part 6 (I will update the side bar soon!).
