About me I'm a busy mom, currently enjoying some time off work. I have two teenager daughters, one son, and 2 cats. I met my husband at Brigham Young University. We've been married for 17 years.

I learned to read when I was in a car accident as a 4 year old. I was stuck in a body cast with nothing to do. So I watched Sesame Street, and somehow, those letters all turned in to words. I've had a book on hand ever since. (usually more than one!)

Besides reading, I like to watch mysteries on TV, as well as cooking shows, Nature, and science shows. I also like to scrapbook when I have time and listen to music. I'm really interested in alternative health and my religious faith. But most of my time is spent keeping up with my busy kids, especially now that homework season has started up again.

So Hello already!

For my challenge!

About my library I love mysteries! My favorites are cozies, Golden Age, and English police books. I love funny mysteries, but anything too cute or full of quirky characters turns me off.

I also enjoy non-fiction books, although I get most of these from the library. I like science, cookbooks, history, natural or alternative healing.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, but I love lots of different fantasy books. I'm not as into science fiction, but have enjoyed a few titles here and there.

And I still read picture books!

Hope that tells you something about me. I'm a fast reader, but I love to reread my books. So I keep all my favorites. I'm also an avid BookCrosser (same name, cmbohn) and any books I have duplicates of or wasn't completely in love with will wind up being released. So my ratings are skewed, since I only keep the books I loved. You can also find me on Good Reads.

Hi back! I'm loving reading everyone's blogs, they are all different but great. I'm getting so many ideas for new books to read that my TBR, which was already too long, is now much to long to manage!

its a great fantasy come true to be trapped on the beach with nothing more pressing to do then to read my books. I highly recommend it!

Hey - I'm a busy mom too although I've only got one child, not 3. But it IS homework season! Today is a Mythological Dictionary of at least 20 terms for 9th grade Honors English.

I like your idea of 1 audiobook per category - I may or may not use it, but that's the beauty of the 888. Personal choice.

What I really wanted to write to you about was that in looking at your profile I saw your reference to BookCrossing. I hadn't heard of it so checked it out and am very intrigued. There are 19 books in my town and several towns nearby are also listed. Thanks.

I think that Jim Butcher's books are definately worth looking into. He has two different series. There is The Dresden Files which is an urban fantasy set in an alternate Chicago where magic exists and the main character is a wizard names Harry Dresden. The other is the series that's listed on my 888 Challenge page - The Codex Alera. That's a more traditional fantasy. Both are excellent, and yet very different from each other. Its refreshing to see an author be able to change his writing style so much between two different series.

If you like fantasy they are worth checking out.

I saw your question about the 888 tickers. I got mine at the Ticker Factory. Here is the construction page. Come back and post to let us know how you are progressing!
