Visit Life as Mom for her Booking It challenge this year. It will be fun to follow along as others tackle their reading lists, whatever the size or challenge.

  1. I read The Grapes of Wrath and The Catcher in the Rye last year -- totally different from reading them in high school.

  2. So I finished Life of Pi - my review will post on 1/10. But I totally agree the first 100 pages are challenging, but it's worth it to keep pushing through. Thanks for the encouragement!
