Spring Reading List 2014 Wrap-Up
Back in March, I signed up for The Musing of a Book Addict’s Spring Reading Thing challenge. Now that spring and the challenge is over, it’s time to share what I accomplished from my spring reading list.

What have you been reading this Spring? What was on your spring reading list? What’s on your summer reading list? Be sure to friend me on Goodreads too.
It looks like you did pretty well. How do you track your reading to the kids? (Can I count reading ‘Olivia’ a thousand times? 🙂 )
Hi April, I have a shelf on Goodreads called “1000 kids books” because it’s my goal to read 1000 with them (or they read to me). Then on the mobile Goodreads app, we can scan the book’s barcode, then they like to add the stars. Of course, the preschooler rates everything a 5. But it’s actually helped him sit and pay attention to the stories in the past year since I started staying home. I don’t put a date read on the book in Goodreads so it doesn’t count towards my own challenge to read 55 books this year but the shelf still tracks how many books we’ve read together. 🙂
Great job on the challenge. So glad you got kids involved with it. Thank your for participating.
Thanks so much for hosting Sandra despite all the work and personal pressures you are going through. I really do better when my reading is focused on a list.
Getting that much Harry Potter read is a victory all by itself. Congrats! And 73 books with your kids is wonderful, too.
Thanks so much Mark. I agree, Harry Potters are my Everest. When I finish Order of the Phoenix, it will be my personal record for longest book read. The kids have so much fun scanning and giving the books star ratings, I see budding book bloggers in the future. Maybe I’ll have to let them take over my blog one day 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Oops! I almost forgot about this. I should post my update, too. Thanks! Looks like a great spring!
I had 23 book on my Spring Reading Thing list and I read 20 of them. Not bad. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment, isn’t it?
20 Books read is fantastic Tanya! I love crossing items off a list so I was pretty pleased with my reading progress. What’s on your summer list?
You did an awesome job on your Spring Reading!
Thanks Tanya, always glad to hear from you. Good luck with your summer reading challenges!
