Library Books Reading Challenge Update

I haven't done a Library Books Reading Challenge Update since January!! Here I am posting links to all the library books I have read from February, March, April and May 2014. There are only two, because I was busy with work and did my reading off my kindle. (Shame on me.) I have, however, made my first summer visit to the library (see my June posts) and my June wrap-up will be much better.

Who Asked You by Terri McMillan

January Wrap-Up: I Love Library Books Reading Challenge

It's time for my January Wrap-Up!

I Love LIbrary Books Reading Challenge 2014

Last year I participated in the challenge hosted by Dragon's Lair and I really enjoyed it, even though I didn't meet my goal. :(

I think this is a great challenge because the focus is on libraries- an often over looked treasure. Libraries make books and knowledge accessible to everyone.

Books are expensive. As much as I love to read, I really can't afford all the books I'd like to read. (Who can?) Thanks to inter-library loan, I can read most of the books that I love for free. I just go online to my library's website, type in the title and see if it is available. Our PINES system searches the entire state, not just my own local library. The books are shipped to my library where I pick them up and return them when I am finished. (Did I mention this is free?!?!!?)

This is why I have again decided to join Dragon's Lair's 2014 I Love Library Books reading challenge.

I am setting my goal at 18 books. (Surely I can do that....right???)

So, who's going to join me? You don't need a blog- just a love of reading.

October Library Books Reading Challenge Wrap-Up

Notice this October wrap-Up is in December. I am THAT behind...(so ashamed).....

In October the  only library book I read was The Witch of Little Italy by Suzanne Palmieri.

November was a big ZERO...we will see what I can accomplish for December by Tuesday...

Library Books Challenge July Update

OK, so I am only about 10 days late with this... starting a new job will do that to a person....

The library books I read for July are:

Silver Star by Jeannette Walls

Swim to Me by Betsy Carter

The Midwife of Hope River by: Patricia Harman

These were all great reads and I highly recommend them. If they appeal to you, please check out my reviews and, by all means, leave comments!!! I love comments!!

I read one book in May that qualifies for the Library Reading Challenge.

Diary of a Mad Fat Girl by Stephanie McAfee

Library Books Challenge 2013- March Wrap-Up

It's time for my March Wrap up for the Library Books Reading Challenge 2013, hosted by Dragon's Lair.
Sad to say but the only library book I read (and finished) for march was:

 Wild Things by Clay Carmichael. 

I have a stack of library books in my TBR basket right now, so maybe I will do better next month.

Library Books Challenge 2013- February Wrap Up

It's time for my February Wrap Up in the Library Books Reading Challenge hosted by Dragon's Lair.

 These are the books I've read so far:

1.What Happened to My Sister

2.The Year the Colored Sisters Came to Town

I know that's a lousy start, but hopefully I'll pick up my momentum for  March.

If you haven't joined yet, it's not too late to sign up!

Happy Reading!

Beth =D

Library Books Reading Challenge

This challenge is hosted by Dragon's Lair.

Since I'm already an avid library fan, this is great! I'm signing up for adult level- 36 books!

Here are the rules (from Dragon's Lair page).

Our love of reading can be expensive! Not only are we purchasing books but we also need space to keep them. I've started using the library (again) but couldn't find a challenge to help me. Here it is. There are a number of levels, for those who don't have a library card yet to those that live there. Enjoy!

 Requirements:

• choose a level - you may move up as needed, just not down.
• check books out of the library
• books may overlap with other challenges
• any format allowed (print, ebook, audio)
• reviews are not necessary but a list of books read is. (post with review linky)
• a blog is not necessary, just comment that you want to join in

Levels:

• board book - 3
• picture book - 6
• early reader - 9
• chapter book - 12
• middle grades - 18
