Goal #3: Where Are You Reading? Update

As part of Goal #3: Reading More Broadly, subcategory Where Are You Reading? Challenge, I completed Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You, set in Birmingham, Alabama. Makes me ready to go visit my family all over again! Updated reading map here.

Goal #3: Support Your Local Library Challenge Update

I just finished Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You, which I checked out from Chicago Public Library, in support of Goal #3: Reading More Broadly, subcategory: Support Your Local Library Challenge.  This is only my second book this year, which means when I'm not taking classes, I'll definitely be working on getting caught up!

Goal #1: Already Abandoned

My sanity and sleep won out and I'm down to taking only one class this term, which means that I'll stick to this plan, and just be okay with it being June or December 2012 before I'm done.  That's just the way it is.

Book Giveaway: Dirty Secret

Check out this very cool Book Giveaway from The Girl from the Ghetto of Jessie Sholl's Dirty Secret.  I can't wait to read this one myself!  Especially if I can do my small part to help demystify and destigmatize mental illness.

Goal #3: Support Your Local Library Challenge

So Goal #3 for 2011 is to READ MORE BROADLY. One of the Book Challenges I've signed up for is the Support Your Libraries Challenge (Mega Size: 51+) to help me with that goal while also working on Goal #4: Save More Money. Here's the running list (started on January 6, 2011, and with the updated dates to follow each subsequent title).

Goal #3: Where Are You Reading Challenge

In order to support Goal #3 of Reading More Broadly, I have signed up for the Where Are You Reading Challenge. This also fits with the Support Your Local Library Challenge very well and forces me into a bit of creativity -- I'm pretty excited about finding new blogs written by folks who love to read about their home town/state/region, and those librarians that also promote local reading. This will be a running list as I progress through the year and this is the map.
