Am thinking of something and need some feedback

For the past few days I have been thinking about hosting a sports book reading challenge. I don't know how many people would actually be interested in it, but I just want to know if its at least viable. I would probably start it sometime closer to the summer months.

Tuesday Teasers

Miz B and Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:
Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page.


Share with us two (2) sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given! Feel free to Grab the logo and post your own Tuesday Teaser.

The Royal Mistress Challenge

Miss Moppet is hosting The Royal Mistress Challenge, in which one has to read books, fiction and non-fiction, based on royal mistress that actually have existed.

• The Other Boleyn Girl
• The Last Boleyn

2010 reading resolutions

Just adding one more thing to my reading resolutions:

• To read the Bible for 5 or 10 minutes daily. I am a Christian and will admit that I don't read my Bible often enough, but in conjuction with my other reading resoultions, I do plan on doing this. I don't intend on reading the entire Bible in a year, but if I could read for 5-10 minutes, I think I will easily cover most of the Bible during the course of the year.

New Books

Bought a few new books today. Here is what I purchased:

• The Blind Side
• The Illiad (the Robert Fagels translation; had been looking for it for a number of years)
• The Handmaid's Tale

I also purchased a few books online as well. Here is what I ordered:

• Leafs Abomination: The Dismayed Fan's Handbook To Why The Leafs Stink And How They Can Rise Again

I should get the books that I ordered tonight sometime around the 22nd. All books ordered and purchased where through ChaptersIndigo.
