Spring Reading Thing 2010

It's that time again! As I sit here writing this post, I realize I have been on blogger for almost 2 years. AMAZING! Spring Reading Thing and my blogoversary come hand in hand, and when I see Katrina publish her first Spring Reading Thing post, I get giddy inside. However, this year I'm also riddled with guilt over not finishing Fall Into Reading 2009. I never even wrote my final post about it. Cameron had just begun his sneaking, his blood sugars were SUPER high, and I was worried about the possibility of him being hospitalized. I even cancelled Halloween (our favorite holiday) and Peyton's Halloween Birthday Party. :(

Fast forward now to Spring. I am torn about the weather getting warmer. I enjoy the beautiful, vibrant colors of Spring, although here in the desert, we go straight to Summer. In just a few short weeks we will be reaching the 90's and I'll be HATING life. What I look forward to most in the Spring are the longer daylight hours (THANK YOU Daylight Savings) and Katrina's, over at Callapidder Days, Spring Into Reading Thing. BLISS!

I have compiled a list of the books I would like to read before Summer hits, where I'll spend most of my days melting away, boiling my brain, unable to keep my eyes open to read.

Books I'll be finishing this Spring:
Faithfully Fit by Claire Cloninger and Laura Barr
