What Gave Me the Idea

I was doing my cuddled up under the electric blanket nightly reading before bed time and somehow stumbled on to this Ted Talk.  Well, now I remember I was playing with my phone and I only HEARD I didn't SEE the talk.  But, I was intrigued by it.  Furthermore, I got to thinking that it would be fun to start a Reading Challenge with my daughters.  They are both big readers, like me! Then, I also told my friend Judy.  (So, she may drop by with a guest entry now and then.) I started researching and went on Pinterest and saw several different challenges.  I couldn't wait to tell the girls.  I texted Ruthi right then and asked if she was interested --- She replied SURE! I knew Naomi would be all over it.  As luck would have it, 1/2 Price Books had a sale and on top of that, Santa gave us, all three gift cards. I started researching and filling in my categories.  Of course those could change over time, but right now I have all but a couple of my challenge books chosen.  I am now reading my Q book. It has a question in the title but there is no question mark, which has kind of concerned me as I don't want to cheat.  Naomi, my BFF, has assured me that is definitely a question. So, I'm going with that.  I'm soooo excited and KNOW that this is going to be a fun adventure through the world of books and reading!! With my girls and anyone else who wants to join! 
My first Book! FUNNY!!


Our First Challenge

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to let you know about the current challenge that my mom, my sister, and I are working on right now. As you will learn from my mom's first post, the challenges, and this blog were her idea. My little sister and I excitedly jumped to the occasion. This alphabet challenge is the one that we decided to work on first. My mom found this challenge on another blog, link below, and we immediately ran to Half Price Books to see where to begin. If you would like to join in with us follow the link below to see the challenge description and each of us will soon be posting the lists that we are working on and the books we decided to use.
