That’s a pretty cool system you have for deciding what to read! Very organized! Thanks for sharing this on Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!

In reply to Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction.

I’m really looking forward to the discussion challenge this year. Thanks for hosting. I’m glad I found you.

I am trying to make a significant dent in my samples folder on my Kindle this year. It has gotten out of hand. 🙂

How interesting that you keep samples of all the books you’re interested in—I never would have thought of that, but it’s a great idea! Good luck with all your challenges (and thanks for joining us for the Discussion Challenge)!

I know exactly what you mean because I wasn’t planning on doing any reading challenges myself until I saw all the wonderful ones out there! 🙂 The good news is that many of them will help me stay accountable with what I’d plan on reading anyway, and the others will nudge me out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes reading the sample is almost as good as reading the full book. 🙂 Those are the ones that I know it’s safe to delete and not look forward at the library.

*groooooan* Man, I said I wasn’t going to do reading challenges this year, but seeing peoples’ posts about the challenges they’re doing is REALLY pushing me, haha! I like your samples method, but am afraid I would spend all my time reading samples and forget to read actual full books, lol. 🙂

In reply to LisaNotes. I can't imagine reading only one book per quarter! It's hard to fit reading time in sometimes, sure, but... :O I agree; people need to find out how much fun reading is (and how relaxing, too, unless you read thrillers, of course!).

In reply to Jean Wise. Ooh, I would love to see that photo, Jean! I think it's a splendid idea. :)

In reply to LisaNotes. I agree that the library books get read first. I think I am going to go throughout the house and gather ( I have multiple piles) all the unread but want to read books. put them in one stack and honor my reading intention this year. Smiling - I should take a photo of the full stack before and after. maybe a good self challenge?

In reply to Karen Friday. I actually am quite overwhelmed by the number of samples on my Kindle. ha. I probably should take a month and read ONLY samples to weed them out. :) Sometimes the sample is enough to get the gist of the book anyway. Happy 2020 to you, Karen!
