Ok so I think we have all seen the list of 1001 books to Read Before You Die. Have you seen some of those books on the list? Uh no way this chicky pie is gonna finish that. This though...this challenge I CAN and will do. I've read a good number of books on the list. Heck a good number of them I've read multiple times. I've decided though that I'll give myself a real challenge. I'm starting fresh. That means even if I've already read the book it doesn't count. Only brand new reads and reviews will count.
I'm sure that list will change as the 1001 books before you die list has changed. However I'm going with the list I've found. So this list will not be changing for me. That means newer books that come out that may be on newer versions of the list will not be included. Sniff sniff...sad but I have to draw the line somewhere.
It may take me 10, 15, hell 20 years to finish but I'm going to do it. I love children's books and I think this will be fun, challenging and just the kind of pick me up I need. Books that are on the reading level of my son I'll read and review with him as always. The rest will all be by myself :)
If you want to join me feel free to. I'd love to see what others think and have read. You don't have to start fresh you can count books you've already read. You don't even have to review the books. These are personal challenges.
Here is the list of books I've found. To keep up to date on how I'm doing I'll create a page you can click at the top of the blog to see what I've read and reviewed.

Hello Messy Mommy,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying your 1001 quest. I embarked on the same quest in 2009 when the book came out. I'm nearly a quarter of the way through now. I was so excited that I set up a yahoo group for the challenge. We read 2 main books each month, and sometimes some picture books, or shorter books too. We're currently reading 4 German books this month, next month we'll be in Australia.
Feel free to come check us out. We're a small group, but active and friendly.
https://au.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/1001childrensbooksyoumustread/info
The group has read 100+ books I think. I reread all of them as they come up too.
Louise
