Challenges Update

I recently completed the Support Your Local Library Challenge. I decided to read 25 library books because last year I didn't read 50 from the library. Now, I'm wondering if I should have gone for the big 50, but I am resolving to read more of the books I have on my shelf. Otherwise, I really can't justify my trips to bookstores, library book sales, Bookmooch, or the used bookstore. But, since the title of my blog is Library Queue after all, and I am a librarian, I am going to mentally keep track of how many more library books I read this year, even if not for the challenge.

Here are the 25 challenge books I got from the library:

1. Every Soul a Star
2. 84, Charing Cross Road
   
3. Belong to Me
4. Garden Spells
5. A Poisoned Season
6. Very Valentine
7. A Fatal Waltz
8. Hush
9. Hattie Big Sky
10. The Geography of Bliss
11. The House on Tradd Street
12. The Help
13. Among the Mad
14. Banker to the Poor
15. The Adoration of Jenna Fox
16. Wake
17. Poison Study
18. Unwind
19. The Season
20. 11 Birthdays
21. Perfect You
22. Magic Study
23. Miss Buncle's Book
24. Fire Study
25. The Blue Castle
    

I am joining Maggie's Southern Reading Challenge again this year. My three possible book choices are:

1. Gone With the Wind
2. Southern Ladies & Gentlemen
3. Plantation

I rarely stick to these lists. But, I do have good intentions!




Finally, I joined the New Author Challenge. The challenge is to read 50 books by new authors during the year. I decided to start counting now, but if I don't make it to my 50 by December, I know I read at least 30 new authors before starting the challenge. I'm interested to see how I far I get!
