A quick hi and happy reading from your Library Blog
Mistress! Hope you don’t mind me stopping
in and chatting with you once in a while.
I know we all have been busy this summer reading. The library had a record number of readers
sign up for their 2012 Summer Reading Club – over 1,250 of you which is a
record number!
For all of your Facebook fans, I found this really cool
app called: The Book Challenge: 100
Books To Read Before You Die. After
you go down the list of books and check off the ones you have read (and can
remember reading), it posts your results on Facebook to share with all your
friends. If you can’t find the app on
Facebook or your Facebook friends haven’t send you it yet, the web address
is: www.listchallenges.com
I was reluctant at first to take the challenge as I have
always considered myself an avid reader and didn’t want to make my friends look
bad when my results showed up. It turned
out that I didn’t need to worry about that.
I was shocked with my results and my lowly score of 24 is now out there
for all my friends to see which is a bit depressing. On the other hand, I still have lots of time
to read the other 76 books. And I’m
willing to bet that my favorite library, the Haltom City Public Library, has
them all, so…..
If you Google book lists to read, you will find a
multiple of them around. Is this
particular list the best list? Probably
not but it does show that Facebook fans are readers and are proud to be. Plus it’s just plain fun to take and share
your results with your friends. Hope you
are up to the challenge!
Have a happy reading week!
