Hi! I am Darcie, I previously had a blog at www.readingderby.blogspot.com, but haven't posted there in so long I can't remember the password and through changes in google have no idea how to retrieve it. So I am starting over.
My motivation to start over is that I need to rejoin the reading challenge community to get my reading up! I am getting very distracted by: my kiddos (3), facebook, TV, and candy crush. I have been a life long reader and have tracked my reading since 2009. When I joined challenges and focused on reading I would read 70 books a year. Last year I read 26. Yikes. So this year I am aiming to double that with 50! I have many competing priorities including leading my 2nd grader's American Heritage Girl Squad and Coordinating the troop of 50, but I am hoping in making reading a priority again I can get my numbers up. That being said I also have an infant, so my goals may change, but hey this is supposed to be a fun streach goal! I hope to read many great books this year...and oh yeah I am an avid audio book listener!! So probably more than half of my books will be audio. Stay tuned for the challenges I am joining and things I am doing with my girls (7 and almost 5) to get them to love reading. I have some ideas to modify some of the challenges I am doing for my 7 year old.
