Prompt 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

Amy, Justine, and I have something very big in common...we're complete bookworms! There is always a book we'd like to pick up from the bookstore/library, we're quick to recommend books we love, and Harry Potter is no stranger to our shelves :)

With that, I'm here to announce today's prompt!

List 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

 

It's a little hard to read, so here's my list: 

• The Maze Runner
• Dracula, The Undead
• Red Pyramid
• Boneshaker
• The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
• Atlas Shrugged
• Deja Dead
• Hickory Dickory Dead
• Batman: Arkham Asylum
• The Grey Wolf Throne
• The Son of Neptune
• Bullet
• Hit List
• Matched
• Incarceron
• The Scorch Trails
• The Throne of Fire
• The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Quite the list, right? And what's worse is that most of those are already on my bookshelf! I buy books faster than I can read them *shrug* but at least I'm never alone, right? I don't know if you've seen this post about the importance of dating a girl who reads floating around the interwebs, but Justine has it on her blog, I suggest you read it :)

Here is a photo of one of our shelves...we have two bookcases...one is a three shelf, the other is six shelf unit. 

 OVERFLOWING!

Pull the books forward and you see a mess load of books behind them! Yes, you're seeing that correctly...books lined up the way they should be PLUS books laid on top of them. We're sick.

I'm looking forward to seeing what books you're 

hoping to read this month/season/year! 

Even though I shouldn't order any more books, 

I'd love some recommendations :)

Some housekeeping:

• Amy, Justine, and I get an e-mail every time you leave a comment. We know a few of you want more than 30 days! I suggest subscribing to our blogs/newsletters for updates and future challenges :) You can find our blogs by clicking on our photos in the right-hand sidebar.
• For those of you "late" to the game...you're not late! It's called 30 Days of Lists for a reason...you can do this anytime you want! You can start April 14th, May 1st, whenever! Take your time, enjoy the process.
• The printable kits Amy created are still available. They're helpful to have if you aren't able to check back each day.
• If you have a blog, be sure to add the 30 Days of Lists blog button to your blogroll. I love coming across 'new' blogs and seeing that I already 'know' the blogger from a challenge/class! It's a great way to break the ice when you chat ;)
• If you're on Twitter, be sure to use the hashtag #30Lists whenever you mention your lists! If your account is public, we will see your tweet...like a slow-moving chat room!
• The "your take" lists aren't chosen based on how cool/creative/beautiful they are, we would feature ALL lists if we could (but that's what the Flickr group is for), keep posting!

List 25: Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now

Happy Friday!

Today's list prompt is about remembering all those things you would love to be doing if you didn't have to be, you know. Responsible and stuff :)

Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now



I'm slowly but surely crafting my "work" time around activities that I enjoy, but if I was truly honest ...... If I wasn't going to work today, or blogging for next week, I would rather be:

reading, sleeping, reading, sleeping, traveling

Not a lot to ask, right?

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

Can't wait to hear what you all would rather be doing!

List 24: I Make Lists For:

DISCLAIMER- My camera is MIA, so this photo was taken on my phone, and it's awful, I hope you forgive me!

OK, well this is a fun one! What do you like to make lists for! You know we all do, since we are doing this project :) I used to collect all my lists I made and I would staple them into a cute journal that I would turn into a planner, because I feel like I have never bought a planner that suits all my needs, so I always create my own. Do you feel me on that? Or am I crazy?

(Can I just say I cannot believe we are on list 24! I feel like it was just yesterday when Kam emailed Amy and I about this, and that was in January!)

I love being able to just make lists, everyday for something new. Have any  of you used one of the Listography books? I see them a lot, but I don't know if they are worth the money, let a girl know if you have bought one! :)

Just a reminder! These photos are coming from the Flickr group. 

Also, there's still time (10PM Pacific Time) to enter the Boygirlparty giveaway!

I don't want to give too much away, but keep listing, 

there is something exciting coming up next week!

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

I'm lucky I use such small sheets of paper...today's list could go on for...well, days!  I enjoy some pretty silly things...eating ice cream straight from the carton, changing the metric on my Google Analytics so I am shown a graph with positive movement, favoriting things on Etsy I know I'll never buy, yelling at the people on House Hunters for not choosing a home based on the dumbest things...On a rare occasion I'll be too ashamed to admit that I like something that I know most people don't like, but I am usually pretty outspoken when it comes to my guilty pleasures.

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasure: something pleasurable that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt. Something that brings pleasure but is considered taboo, unadvisable or lowbrow. First known use, 1907. (Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary)

 

Confession: That's my bathroom. I'm in my pajamas. 

If you can't read my list, here is what I wrote:

• A spoonful of nutella
• Spam (the food)
• Jersey Shore (tomorrow is Jersday!)
• RAW (as in wrestling)
• Dark chocolate anything
• Jack in the Box tacos
• McDonald's orange 'soda'
• Movie/TV show marathons (House/L&O:SVU)
• Collecting 4square badges ('checking in' in general!)
• Cussing
• IZZE drinks (written on the back of an IZZE carton)
• Leggings as pants
• EMU boots

I could go on, but that seems excessive. 

What is on your list?

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for an octopus notepad from Boygirlparty!

 Kam runs the blog and online shop known as Campfire Chic. She specializes in making the outdoors look good, Search Engine Optimization for non-nerdy bloggers, and eating tacos while driving.

List 22: Today I saw...

Confession: This list prompt was inspired by Jill's Today I Saw blog. If you're not familiar with her work, I encourage you to check it out.

Today's prompt is about noticing the things around you - big and little.

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Image is of my drive to work. That is west-bound Wilshire Blvd, and I work in the white building on the right.

Text reads:
traffic on the 405; billboard for GLEE; Ralph's grocery store; Ralph's parking attendant vigilantly keeping non-shoppers out; our across-the-way neighbor watering her plants; Andrew getting my morning coffee (xo)
