Reading Wrap-Up

Spring Into Reading Wrap-Up at Callapidder Days is underway.  Katrina suggested a few questions to help us evaluate our progress.  Here goes

• What was the best book you read this spring?
  • The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
• What book could you have done without?
  • The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory
• Did you try out a new author this spring?  If so, which one, and will you be reading that author again?
  • Julie Carobini's Chocolate Beach!  I am looking forward to reading Truffles By The Sea.
• What did you learn -- about anything -- through this challenge?
  
  • I've learned to keep a quotes journal.  I'd been copying on scraps of paper and tossing them in a drawer, but I'm organizing those things this summer.  Books have an enormous impact on me; the several lines from a novel that make me catch my breath are as revealing about my soul as a personal diary.
• What was the best part of the Spring Reading Thing?
  • I liked the camaraderie, knowing that so many women were participating and sharing.
• Would you be interested in participating in another reading challenge this fall?
  • YES AND AMEN!

What a great idea of keeping a notebook handy to write quotes or thoughts down! I read Chocolate Beach as well and an eagerly waiting for Truffles By The Sea.

Yes, I love a nice line in a book, and in fact some of them just stick with me--especially descriptions about things that I never really observed as keenly as the writer does.
