Also, I committed last year to read: a classic book that I've never read -- which I will complete today - Persuasion. But I didn't complete this: I will read a biography of a major historical figure. I had John Adams by David McCollough set aside all 2009, I guess it will become my 2010 resolution.<br />Happy New Year!Gerbera Daisy Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11605934758292568280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-16373174741372865652009-12-30T20:53:07.978-08:002009-12-30T20:53:07.978-08:00I have several bookshelves, though none as lovely ...I have several bookshelves, though none as lovely as yours, and my New Year's resolution is to tidy them up.<br /><br />This means I must read more from the books I own and resist the pull of the library and the bookshop. <br />When I have read my own books I will keep only the true favourites that I want to read again and will dispose of the rest through bookmooch or by giving away.<br />It's going to be tough but I am determined.<br /><br /><br />Also I tweeted<br />http://twitter.com/eshchory/status/7222359860<br /><br />eshchory[at]gmail[dot]comEstherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276711065670111187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-2844129956074182802009-12-30T15:26:35.698-08:002009-12-30T15:26:35.698-08:00My resolution is to spend more time reading books ...My resolution is to spend more time reading books and less time reading email.

I've realized this year after finally reading East of Eden that there are so, so many great books that I haven't read, but should. So I'm going to start my year by reading (for the first time) something by Mark Twain. Haven't decided yet. But my thirteen year old is telling me that it's about time...<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway. and Merry Christmas!<br /><br />s.mickelson at gmail dot comSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05521434567047157194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-4389346310864605182009-12-21T07:13:01.385-08:002009-12-21T07:13:01.385-08:00I'm a busy homeschooler, so my reading opportu...I'm a busy homeschooler, so my reading opportunites (other than curriculum) come at vacations.

I have quite a few boxes here stuffed with books!<br /><br />One of my bookish resolutions for 2010 is to tackle the mountain of TBR's that I have. I have approximately 200 books that I haven't read yet. I am thinking maybe....I have to reduce the number of nooks in the piles by 5, before buying another? That might help, but I am going to have to learn to read A LOT faster at the rate I buy books...lol!<br />lovemykidsandbooks AT gmail DOT comMariluhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06211230412603727399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-42218464196415556952009-12-20T17:44:46.983-08:002009-12-20T17:44:46.983-08:00My New Year's resolution is to read the equiva...My New Year's resolution is to read the equivalent of one book a week (52 books in the year).<br /><br />klad at shaw dot caKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00973434885942494302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-71312025821026850432009-12-20T14:21:12.127-08:002009-12-20T14:21:12.127-08:00Nice desk!!
