A Few Stats....




It has been exactly 2 months since we challenged you all to a reading "concours" in the Reading Room. I thought it would be great to see how we are doing. We have had GREAT participation.


A total of 32 books have been posted (many more read, I am sure, as we know there were many doubles!)
Overall-- Brian has posted the most--8 books!
The female participants-- Donna and Johanna are tied with 4 each!
The younger generation (below 20!)-- Isabelle and Micaiah are tied (3 each) but Patience is only one behind!

What kinds of books have we read? All kinds! The diversity has been exciting. We have learned about Panthers and The Summer of 1787-- these along with others were informative. We have had some "how to" books like Shopping for Time and Train Up A Child (maybe The Big Mess!).

We have also had some good Christian Living books like When Sinners Say I do and Girl Talk.
Some Just for fun books like Felicity and Trucks.
Some biographies like Granny Brand. And many doctrinal/theological books!!

The list goes on. It has been fun. Can't wait to see what you read in the next couple of months. We hope you are profiting from the challenge and that you have enjoyed your new books as well!

Wow, Mom. How long did that take? Pretty impressive.

Thanks for the incentive, Mom. I have already really enjoyed the books you have sent me. Hmmm... I guess I should write some more reviews. You do realize that that is the WORST part of this whole deal, right?!

Can I write reviews the same length as Dad's and it still count???

Mom and Dad said...

No!!! Only those of the "younger generation" can :-)
