Reading Challenge 1 - Holiday Bookaday

This is my second year joining Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer, in holiday #bookaday.  We challenge ourselves to read a book each day we are not at work.  I have 16 days off and many books to tackle for Mock Newbery and Mock Printz plus I have two books to read from The Nerdies and two recommendations. Hmm..

Ok, without further ado, my holiday #bookaday Hope to Read list
  1. Under the Dome by Stephen King
  2. The Pull of Gravity by Gae Polisner
  3. Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger
  4. Bluefish by Pat Schmatz
  5. Breaking Stalin's Nose by Eugene Yelchin
  6. Blink and Caution by Tim Wynne-Jones
  7. Shelter by Harlan Coben
  8. Heart and Soul by Kadir Nelson
  9. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
  10. The Freedom Maze by Delia Sherman

That's  good place to start, but there's more than 16 books and some of them are long! I better get cracking! Do you have any days off coming up?  If so, what are your holiday reading plans?

  1. Kathy, I'm sure you can get it all read. I'm doing my own book-a-day. So far I'm doing pretty well. I tried reading Under the Dome but after about 50 pages I put it down. Can't wait to read your thoughts on Heart and Soul. I enjoyed it but loved We are the Ship much more. Happy reading!
