Relaxed sounds like the way to go! I too am not setting any specific guidelines for myself...I won't be joining in the challenge officially until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I've also started and I'm like you - just see how it goes. I have a few books lined up but I have no idea whether I can get through them all. Well, if it's like a normal read-a-long, I won't get half done of what I want.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, it's fun and it's nice to meet up with other participants.

Oh, yeah, I completely forgot about this but I've got to get over and sign up. That's help me insist on a quiet weekend for relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI currently have The Crimson Petal and the White sitting on my shelf in my TBR pile-I can't wait to read your review. It's my first visit to your site. Love it-I'm a new follower. Good luck with your reading.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you think of John Adams. I read 1776 years ago, but have heard Adams is better.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I hope you're enjoying The Crimson Petal and the White! I quite enjoyed it when I read it. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteI kept my own constraints and books relaxed this time through as well. I find that it's better when I select the books according to mood and what I need then, rather than a plan I set up in the beginning. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSparkly silver pom poms waving your way. Go! Go! Go! Read on my friend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing fantastically well! Keep it up. :)
