children where you received a star sticker for every book you read. Every so many stars on your pin (shown above) would get you a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut for free. Anyways, that memory made me smile..
I definitely don't read as much as I want to anymore, I guess I can't motivate myself? I have a growing pile.list of books to read, starting with this month's bookclub pick, Wildflower Hill, by Kimberley Freeman, which I hope to start before this weekend.
I don't have an all-time favorite list, but here are some recent favorites:
The Help, Katheryn Stockett
One for the Money, Janey Evanovich (soon to be a movie staring Katheryn Heigl!)
Then Came You, Jennifer Weiner
Wow, I'm shocked and embarassed that there's not more. I had been reading not-so-interesting books like The Triple Bottom Line, Play Like a Man-Win Like a Woman, and other books for school, so I guess I took a break!
Here are a few on my list to read:
A Reliable Wife, Robert Goolrick
Heart of the Matter, Emily Griffin
Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen
Teresa of Teresa-Life and Style and I have been talking about a bloggers book club, anyone interested? We're planning on starting with Water for Elephants! Contact Teresa or myself for more deets!
**Go on over to Modly Chic to see what the other bloggers are reading! Happy Friday!!**
Oh, Water for Elephants! I'd love to read that one too, thanks for reminding me:)
ReplyDeleteThat "Book It" picture reminds me of that awesome program that Pizza Hut used to have. I remember racking up the personal pan pizzas because I was such an avid reader.

Aww such a good memory of book it!I miss those days! I still remember the time my school did a book sleepover where we read as many books as we could n took test on them & got a huge reward...Did your school ever do that?
ReplyDeleteI totally remember this!
ReplyDeleteloved the help & i'd be interested in reading Water 4 Elephants. come check out my FBFF list.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Bookit! I so remember that! I just missed the program (too old) but my siblings always loved devouring their personal pan pizzas!
ReplyDelete(i just read little bee and LOVED it! I'm recommending it to everyone I know.)
There was also a time during my childhood when we didn't own a TV. I loved to read and spent every free second reading. It has carried over into adulthood but now I must reign myself in or I would eschew all responsibilities with my nose in a book. Thanks for commenting on my blog. The book it program rocked!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you grew up without a TV! I liked "Reading Rainbow" hehe
