Very clever idea, I keep track of books I read in a notebook. I like the idea of a "greatest hits" album, i might have to scraplift that idea for myself lol TFS
I don't know why it took me this long to think I might want to keep track of what I was reading. It's great to have a list to refer to! :D Have fun if you decide to scraplift the "greatest hits" idea ~ let me know how it turns out!
No, that's only a few ~ four months worth of reading! :D I don't think I could ever begin to make a list of all the books I've ever read, much less do an album about them. Yikes! :D I love the idea of a treasure book!
i had totally forgot about this one LOL but you have come up with yet another winner!! i love this idea i love to read and it's a good way of recording them.thanks and keep your wonderful videos coming!!
It ebbs and it flows ~ some months I read a ton and some months I don't even finish one book. I do love the idea of this book, though, and I may keep it up longer than the original 12 months I planned.
My secret is that I am actually a time-traveling cyborg. I don't need any sleep, require very little "plug-in" time to recharge my batteries & can bend time and space to fit more hours into the day.
An alternative for those)like me) that only read the amount of books that you read in one month, in one year...you could take your fantastic idea and just make it an album of your favorite books!!!
That's also a great idea! I may have to make a "Greatest Hits" album, too! I think it would be great to journal about what place you were in your life when those special books first touched you ~ it would be so fascinating!
Thanks! I like that idea ~ especially the movies! You can do a photo grid like I did with the book covers, only with movie posters. Or even do pockets pages and include all the ticket stubs! That would be a really fun album!
What a great idea!!! I think I will start this up in January! You have such a way of worming your way into my heart and mind! Generally I hate worms, but this one wiggled its way in for keeps and I will definitely BOOK MARK it! My goodness you are such an inspiration... my teacher always!
Aw, thanks, Joyce! {I think ~ lol!} I had originally only planned to do it for one year, but I think I will continue it for a while. I like seeing what I read all in one place together like this!
I love this idea...if only I could read as much as you do! I agree that doing this for kids would be a great idea b/c you could see how their reading improves from year to year! Thanks for sharing!
Hmm ... perhaps it has something to do with all the TV you are watching? :D :D :D That is a good idea for kid's books ~ not only could you see their development, but then you would be able to go through and remember all their favorites.
Such a great idea Kathryn! I love book covers! My daughter has children's book covers decorating the walls of her classroom and it looks so fun! I don't know how you find time to do all that reading! I could make a list like that only of kid's books!!!!
That sounds like a really great way to decorate a classroom ~ book covers are usually so vibrant and colorful & it would be a constant encouragement to the kids to read!
You would like her reading area....she made a whole beach scene on the wall....complete with surf board & palm tree. Very inviting! She goes to the Indiana Dunes almost every day to unwind & do lesson plans! She's a beach lover too! She said the kids just love it!
That sounds very nice! I have a friend who lives in Naperville, IL and she and her husband like to go to the dunes on the weekends and hike. I am sure the kids love the cretive inclusion of the surfboard and palm tree ~ very, very nice! Give a whole new meaning to "beach reads"!
this is a fantastic idea! i might have to scraplift you, if you don't mind, and try this myself! love it!

I love the idea though. I did something similar (well kinda) and made myself a little book of treasures.

Dude, where do you find time to read that many books? I am good with the 4 that I have read so far this year and in the middle of 3 more. LOL!
