In January and February, you might have noticed I've taken a detour. I've focused on classics both adult classics and children's classics. While it's been fun for me, I'm not sure it's been fun for YOU. So I'm determined in March to focus on books that are BRAND NEW. 28 books published (or soon-to-be-published) in 2008!
Yes, from February 27th through April 2nd I'll be trying to read 28 2008 books. All 28 don't have to be long YA novels, I'm allowing picture books to count as well. But I'm not trying to take the easy way out either by reading all picture books. I'm going to try to get some serious reading done!

Good for you :) I'm sure you'll make my wishlist grow immensely! And I'm sure that you'll way surpass your goal of 28...
Hi Becky,
Thank you for the note on "Enchanted". I haven't seen it yet, but it is on my list. I've been buy reading. It's a toss for me - movies or reading, movies or reading. I just finished a wonderful book I want to recommend for your challenge. It's called A Place To Belong. It's by first-time author Paul Miller. It reminded me of "To Kill A Mockingbird" It's about a little boy who grows up in a really tough time in really tough circumstances. And how be becomes a forgiving and understanding adult. I'm recommending it to all book lovers. It's a must for your "to be read" list.
Take care and happy reading!
