<\/a>To kick the year off, I’ll be joining with Carrie’s L.M. Montgomery Reading challenge<\/a> – rereading one of the Anne books (I’m not sure which) and possibly making another Anne outfit for “Black Anne”<\/a>, my American girl doll (named thus because I happen to own Addy, the original black American girl doll). I also may or may not find and read a book about Lucy Maud from my local library. It’s certainly not too late to participate yourself – check out Carrie’s opening post<\/a> at Reading to Know.<\/p>\nApart from those, I’m laying low – except, of course, that I continue my ongoing quest to read every book<\/a> in my local library (except the ones I don’t read.) I haven’t tallied my numbers or blogged progress recently, but I’m definitely still going strong!<\/p>\n Are you participating in some reading challenges this year? I’d love to hear which ones. Are you not participating in any reading challenges this year? Consider joining one of the above.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I’m not setting grandiose plans for 2015, I do hope to participate once again in some of the book-related challenges and book clubs available in this neck of the internet – and I hope to participate with my church’s in-real-life book club as well.

<\/a> Participation in the L.M. Montgomery challenge happily doubles as participation in the RTK Classics bookclub<\/a> – a monthly classics book club that participants are welcome to jump into for as many or as few months as they choose. We’re going with relatively short books this year, since most of the participants are busy moms. I hope to participate as often as possible – and will be hosting the November reading of Grimm’s Fairy Tales<\/em> (I’ve started reading already – but you’ll be welcome to read only a few tales if you want to, so consider joining in at least<\/em> for my month :-P). To see the complete list of reading selections for 2015, check out this introductory post<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/barbarah.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/liw.jpg\")
<\/a> The other challenge I know I’ll be wanting to participate in this year is Barbara’s Laura Ingalls Wilder reading challenge<\/a> in February. I plan to read Farmer Boy<\/em> and to make as many Farmer Boy<\/em> inspired recipes as possible! Learn more about Barbara’s challenge here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
