Readers' Advisory

For the Spring 2012 Semester, I will be using this blog to collect and archive the books I am reading for my Adult Readers' Advisory course.  Consider this a work in progress until May 20, 2012.  Feel free to comment and enjoy!

The complete list of books I read this semester is compiled under the category sjsu220.

Books in Photos

One of my reading resolutions this year was to take a photo with or of each book I have read this year.  While I haven't been overly creative... yet... I have done it.  I  post them on flickr and now you can see them here.  I believe I am only one behind.  I just finished Going Bovine by Libba Bray this week and haven't returned it to the library yet.  I find photographing audio books more challenging then regular books.  I would like to do a more self portraits, but always seem to find a reason not to.

What do you think?  Do you have any ideas for me?

Reading Resolutions 2010

In an effort to watch less television and read more.  I have made a few reading goals for 2010:

  1. Create a list of 2010 must reads (1/3/2020 in conjuntion w/ the TBR Reading Challenge)
  2. Take some sort of photo of every book I read this year this includes audiobooks.  This can be a self-portrait, a book by itself, or even a pile of books.  The cover doesn't have to be showing.  The point of this one is to get my creative juices flowing in other areas.  Post the photo on this blog.
  3. Review at least one book a month on this blog (3/12).
  4. Participate in the Take the Journey Reading Challenge and keep track of my points for this challenge on this blog.
  5. Keep this blog and LibraryThing up to date with the books I am currently reading and have read recently.
  6. Read a minimum of 52 books.
  7. Explore new genres, authors and more to inhance my skills as a readers' advisor.
