A few years back I was in a couple of reading circles. Reading circles are great on a number of levels, depending on how they are run. One I participated in the books were circulated - so you purchased one book but got to read nine. But I think the best thing is the opportunity to read a book that you may otherwise have never picked up off the shelf. One book I got on my first time through a reading circle was Left Behind. Just from the cover of the book I'm not so sure I would have even picked it up to read the back. But I so enjoyed that series.
Most of the books on my reading list this time are books I will be reviewing for publishers. And some of them are books I might not have chosen were I not given a copy and requested to read them. And I have a few non-fiction books in there as well. I definitely prefer fiction to non-fiction but I'm trying to use this challenge to expand my "shelves" a bit.
And as an added bonus, a number of the books I will be reviewing I have been given a second copy to give away. So be sure to not only check on my progress at reading through my list and read my review but to have a chance to win a free copy of a book.

I like the idea of a book club that circulates the books. I've got to check out Leaving Carolina by Tamara Leigh.
ReplyDeleteI've read all the Elm Creek Quilt books and enjoyed them..
ReplyDeleteI also have Love & Respect on my list, because my husband bought it and gave it to me..I think he's hoping for reform!!
Many of your other ones are going on my checkout list to checkout after I made my goal! Although I need a Christmas one for the challenge, so perhaps I'll do one of yours!!
Happy Reading to you
Sound of Sleigh Bells and White Picket Fences should be good reads.
ReplyDeleteSound of Sleigh Bells was awesome - I'll be reviewing it next week - AND I'll have a copy to give away so be sure to check back.
