Over at APOOO, they have initiated a first quarter reading challenge – 13 books in 13 weeks (Jan. 1-Mar. 31). Ordinarily, this would be nothing for me. But not now. And yet I still signed up.
Why?
Because I have a short story due in a couple of weeks to my publisher and I’m stalling. The writing fire has gone out. And reading usually lights my fire but good.
So even though I’m late to the challenge, I’m still up for it. Plus, I’ve got so many books on my TBR list (and it keeps growing) that I’ve got to get started.
I’m working on my list now, but I do know the authors that I will be reading, some new, some familiar: Bettye Griffin, Kimberla Lawson Roby, ReShonda Tate Billingsley, Angela Benson and Tiffany Warren to start.
As eager as I am to read their works, I’m more excited about getting my own work going again. It’s a win-win situation.
I invite everyone to join in on this challenge. What will you read?
