I finished my challenge on August 15, 2014 and sadly I did not make my goal. In all I read 147 books. At the time I felt good about having read so much, but looking back I wish I would have made my goal. It's very hard to read so much when you have a family though. I homeschool my children so a good chunk of my days are taken up.
Soon after I finished my challenge I became a Mimi, which is why I haven't been blogging, not that I was keeping up with it well in the first place. My new grandson is such a sweetie and a lot of my days are spent holding him, but I am surprised I'm still finding time to read.
I am actually re-reading Tolstoy and the Purple Chair, which is the book that inspired me to try and read 200 books in one year. The author actually reads a book a day, which I knew I wouldn't be able to do.
I'm going to use this blog to try and keep track of what I'm reading. I do that religiously on Goodreads, but I would like to try to write a little something about what I'm reading. We'll see if I can keep up with it somewhat. I feel like I used to be able to write better than I can now. The older I get the mushier my brain becomes. I blame the kids. Maybe if I start and keep at it I'll get better at it.
