I think it would work best if everyone posts their 1st book in my 1 of 15 comments, 2nd book in 2 of 15, etc. That way we can keep up with one another as we go.

Yes, I would like to join in, too. I’ve read my book for today, so now if can get the review written . . .

Wow, everybody! I never expected such a response; this is fabulous. Remember, no one is twisting your arm, this is an ATTEMPT to finish 15 books in 15 days, and share your successes (or not) in the comments. But I do hope to make a serious dent in those unread books on my shelves!

Hi,
I’m in! I just heard of you and this wonderful challenge through The Thinking Mother blog.
My kids are interested too, so we will be posting as we go, although I’m not sure we’re going to make it through any major novels during the busyness of our blessedly full lives. I’ll probably be posting at my Homeschool Mom’s Track Record blog and my main “Tyrean’s Writing Spot” blog.

Reading a book a day seems insane given my schedule, but I am going to do this. If nothing else I’ll catch up on the books I accepted review copies of. There will be some kids books in there, shorter ones, too. I recently discovered I do best under deadlines and when working thinking I’m part of a group or being held accountable by someone (even strangers in cyberspace).

I’m kind of scared but I’m in.

I’m in! I don’t think I’ll make it, but it’s the sort of attempt in which I’d love to die trying.

(Found you via Mental Multivitamin, btw.)

[her sister just died, and as a way of channeling her grief, she threw herself into reading and blogging about it. Sounds like she was a stay at home mom with older kids, and that her family was supportive of her unique way of handling her loss]

Ah, that explains it. Sounds like a good way to distract oneself from serious trauma like that. I hope it worked well enough for her.

Can’t believe I’m writing this, but I’m going to give it whirl. I may end up with just 15 short stories (or poems), though. Heh, heh, heh.

I have to pre-read most of my kids books, unless they come recommended from someone I trust. If I don’t and they turn out to be of questionable value or have bad words in them, my 10 year-old son tells his dad that “Mom can’t pick books for me to read anymore. They have curse words in them.” Like he hasn’t heard worse … my husband used to manage a construction site. Everyone is a critic!
