Treasure Hunt

My friend, Julie, at At My Hearth, visited Firefly at Bioluminesence and read about the reading challenge she has posted on her blog.  Can you find five books in your house that you bought to read, but haven't read yet?  I haughtily told Julie on the phone that I had read every book in my house........well, I just went to make sure, and easily found five books that I've had for a while that I have not read.  So I guess I am going to join in with the others that take Firefly's challenge.  Here are the details:

"If you are anything like me your stack of purchased to-be-read books is teetering over. So for this challenge we would be reading 5 books that we have already purchased, have been meaning to get to, have been sitting on the nightstand and haven't read before. No going out and buying new books. No getting sidetracked by the lure of the holiday bookstore displays.

The bonus would be that we would finally get to some of those titles (you know you picked them for a reason!) and we wouldn't be spending any extra money over the holidays.

The time frame would be Nov. 1st until Jan. 30 and there will be some small, fun prizes awarded to random participants and/or those with clever review posts. There will be one random drawing for a prize to those who submit their list of books in the comment section by Nov. 15th but feel free to join any time. There will be another random drawing for those who submit five reviews by Jan. 30 for a small gift certificate to Amazon."

 

Here are the books I found on my shelf that I will read:

 

The Dark Tower and Other Stories by C.S. Lewis

Walking Wisely by Charles Stanley

Seasons of a Mother's Heart by Sally Clarkson

The Hospitality Commands by Alexander Strauch

Astronomy and the Bible by Donald B. DeYoung

 

It's late!  We've already lost 17 days, so we all better get to cracking those books!  ;-)
