Spring Reading Thing 2011 | Beginnings

Katrina from Callapidder Days is hosting Spring Reading Thing this spring, and I'm excited to participate for the very first time. I very much enjoyed Fall Into Reading 2010, and I'm sure this will be just as good. Spring Reading Thing will be held from March 20th to June 20th, which is this year's spring, of course! It is simply a time to set a few book-reading goals. To join the fun, click here for the info and then click here for posting guidelines.

Since I sort of went overboard last fall with my list--and ended up cutting a few books--I'm going to try to hold back. We'll see how that works!

This spring, I hope to read:

• Cranford by Elisabeth Gaskell. After watching the BBC production a couple of weeks ago, I decided to read the book.
• Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. This is a big one, and I don't know if I'll be able to finish it and the other books in three months! But, I'll try.
• I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Josh Harris. I have read this before, actually, but I was only thirteen I think and I would like to give it a whirl again.
• A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot. I'm nearly halfway through this one but I have been letting other books get in the way. This is one I really want to finish this spring. 
• The Band that Played On: The Extraordinary Story of the 8 Musicians Who Went Down with the Titanic by Steve Turner. I'm in the middle of this one as well. It is really interesting!

My only other real reading goal is to not read so many books at one time. I have difficulties with that, but I will try to do better!

Happy Spring and Happy Reading!
