I think it sounds very doable, 20 pages a day...K, <br /><br />I think it sounds very doable, 20 pages a day. Maybe I should do something similar? Hmm..<br /><br />You know, if someone else picked my books in the TBR challenge, I could see it feeling like a chore, but I'm basically challenging myself to read books that I, AT ONE TIME, FOUND INTERESTING ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY PURCHASE! I think people like to challenge themselves in different ways. I would imagine some people set physical challenges, or challenges to try new recipes, etc. It's essentially personal goal-setting---and I'm all for that. I mean, we're used to the idea of goal setting at work, right? As kids, we set goals to get into college. But in the midst of "middle-adulthood" it seems like most of us have met those lifetime targets (marriage, buying a house or car, etc) and I like the idea of goals now being about whatever we might find personally fulfilling. <br /><br />Hmm..I should pick a September book. I have successfully finished <i>Broken Harbor</i> and <i>Where'd You Go Bernadette?</i> I think it might be Cutting for Stone next. I hear its a real page turner!<br /><br />PS I like a little math on our reading blog! <br />PPS You should save Nox for December. It's such fun to look at, but really, a quality hour can probably do it. Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.com
