Fall into Reading Question#3



It's Tuesday and a new question has been posted over at Callapidder Days.  Head on over there if you wish to play along.  If you haven't signed up for Fall into Reading yet, it is not too late to enter.  Just head on over.
Here is this week's question:
 Do you eat and/or drink while you’re reading? Or do you keep food and liquids far away from your books?

I had to think for a moment, but then realized I no longer eat when I am reading. Seeing as I am either reading in the bathroom, in bed or feeding the baby more than likely I am not eating. Even in the car I have just been reading. Though I guess I did read during lunch today for the first time in ages, because I just couldn’t put my book down. So to answer the question, I guess, no. Which I guess is good because I would just sit there eating mindlessly.

Fall into Reading Update

Well I am a little late as I just realized there was a question posed last Tuesday over at Callapidder Days in conjunction with Fall into Reading.  I left a comment over at her blog, but thought I would post about it too.

"[She] mentioned in the Fall Into Reading 2010 launch post that every Tuesday this fall, [she] will post a question about reading. Why am I doing this? Well, for one thing, I love reading and talking about reading with others. And for another, I thought it would be a great way to keep Fall Into Reading participants connected throughout the course of the challenge.



So without further ado, here’s your first question, .


What do you think is the biggest obstacle to your reading? What prevents you from reading as much as you’d like?

Here was my answer:

 I know I would read more if I was not blogging and hopping around other’s blogs. The main obstacle, however, is the baby not letting me read now while she is nursing. When she was younger I could, now she gets distracted, or doesn’t want me distracted. So when I have free time, like now after the kids are in bed or during naps I am more likely to be found on the computer than buried in a book as I once used to be. I do take my book in the car if I am not driving and get some good reading time usually, but that doesn’t happen very often. The bathroom is a favorite reading place too, always has been.

Now for the update:
So far I have read one book not on my list:
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

And I am reading another one not on my list:
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (the 2nd book in the series)

I am in the middle of Masquerade, a book that is actually on my list. 

One is in the upstairs bathroom, the other downstrairs. I did take Masquerade with me in the car yesterday as we traveled to the Buffalo Bills game. I know I have to read this one as I received it to review.  But I have had a really hard time putting down The Hunger Games series.  In fact the last books that were this hard for me to put down were the Twilight Series.

Fall Into Reading



Well, looking at my book list from the summer reading challenge I realize I need to set more realistic goals.  Obviously the baby isn't going to let me get a lot of reading done.  And my bedtime reading is not happening

1) because Hannah sleeps in our room and I can't have the light on

2)I am on my blog til all hours.

So I am going to create a whole new list with the books I am interested in reading right now. 

1- Masquerade by  Nancy Moser

2- Before I Wake by Dee Henderson (thriller/suspense challenge)

3- A Shred of Evidence  by Kathy Herman(t/s)

4- Eye of the Beholder by Kathy Herman(t/s)

5- All Things Hidden by Kathy Herman(t/s)

6- Not By Chance by Kathy Herman(t/s)

7- And Then There Were Two by Gilbert Morris (t/s)

8- Nancy's Mysterious Letter by Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew)

9- The Sign of the Twisted Candles by Carolyn Keene (ND)

10- Password to Larkspur Lane by Carolyn Keene (ND)

11- The Honorable Imposter by Gilbert Morris

12- Queen Esther and the Second Graders of Doom by Allie Pleiter

13- How to Write (and sell) A Christan Novel by Gilbert Morris

14- Einstein Never Used Flash Cards by Kathy Kirsh-Pasek and Roberta Michnick Golinkoff

15- Storm Warning by Billy Graham

I am also trying to finish Harry Potter before the movie comes out


16- Order of the Phoenix
17- Half Blood Prince
18- Deathly Hallows

And last but not least-
19- New Moon (again. It's been awhile since I reread this one. Definitely the movie didn't do it justice)

There, that looks a little more realistic.  To see what others are challenging themselves to read this fall or to join in yourself, head on over to Callapidder Days.  To be eligible for any prizes you need to be signed up by midnight Sept 24th.
