I hope you join me!
perfect! thanks for hosting this.
Sher, I’m definitely IN for this one. How fun. I need to make up my book list, then I’ll sign Mr. Linky.
Great idea, girl!
Happy New Year Sheri…
Just popping in to say I hope you have a great new year, and to let you know my prize book came today!! Thank you again! It’s wonderful!
Sher, this is an awesome, brilliant challenge!!! I am going to figure out my list and then I’ll post about it. I can’t wait to get this all figured out.
[...] myself because this challenge is so wonderful, I’m joining Shana and Alyce in Sheri’s Just for the Love of It Reading Challenge. What’s nice about this is that it only lasts from January through April, [...]
Oooh, this challenge is tempting. Very tempting. I’m going to post about it when I come up with a list. Happy New Year, Sher!
I adjusted my list for the challenge to reflect all of the books I want to read from January through April. It includes a lot of ARCs (showing how weak I am about requesting them) but to be honest, they are all books I am excited to read, so it’s all good!
COOLIO! Stoked to have y’all on board!
You gently convinced me that this is the perfect challenge for me to “get my feet wet” in the book blogging and reading challenge world. That word “challenge” scares the garbage out of me, but this one sounds just right. I’m looking forward to coming up with my list! Thank you!

Hi Sheri – This sounds like a great challenge but I’m going to restrain myself … my list of commitments is already getting out of hand!
Heather J.’s last blog post..Breaking Dawn
I love the idea of your challenge but I’m going to “pull a Heather”
and restrain myself as well. I’ve only entered one challenge this year; one that only requires 3 books. That’s enough for me. I like having the freedom of reading ‘whatever’ and not being committed to a list. Although I do get it that the list can be changed!! Still.. I think I’ll just go with the flow instead of deciding in advance what to read this year.
Have fun with it!!

Boo. Hiss. You should join. Is the peer pressure working?
I think I may join this one! Since I can make my own list, I may include books from other challenges (is that ok?)
I’ll work on my list tomorrow and then try out Mr. Linky.

I’m sorry!!! Wait.. are there prizes or somethin’? LOL
Lisamm’s last blog post..The Removal of Christmas
What a great list! Just want to put in my two cents – I loved, loved Atonement. It took me awhile to get into the rhythm and flow of McKewan’s writing, but once I was hooked it was an amazing read. The movie was done beautifully too. I rarely say that about books-to-movies.

I loved the movie and can’t wait to start the book
OK, I’m in, but I need some more info. How do I come up with the list? Sorry if I’m being a little “dumb” here, but I’m not sure I understand.

OK — since you made it sound so easy – and fun – I will attempt to sign up this semester rather than wait until the summer
Thanks for the gentle nudge!
