I've never done it before, taken a picture of my TBR pile that's on top of my nightstand. Well on Sunday I did it and WOW!! There are 2 really thick books in that pile.
Then I was possessed to take another picture of the books that are in my nightstand just waiting to be put on top of my nightstand...
Quite a lot of books, eh? So in order to make this more than just a random musing, I thought it would be fun if I made a contest out of it. So, whomever picks the closest or the correct date for me to finish all these books will get a prize. What is the prize you asked? Well what do book lovers love....yup a gift card to either Barnes and Noble or Borders for $20.
I thought I would help you out though by giving you some hints on my life and my reading habits:
- Married with 2 children under 4 and work a full time job
- I try to read at lunch, when my job allows
- I am leaving for vacation in 10 days; vacation will include a 3.5 hour flight both ways, but with a 3.5 year old, and will last 6 days
- I'm currently reading my 9th book of 2009
- I read 55 books in 2008
So leave your guess/estimate for my completion date of the 17 books pictured. Guesstimates need to be posted by Monday March 16th to be eligible.
I'm thinking June 30! How's that for a guess.
ReplyDeleteJuly 15th?

My guess is Independence Day- the 4th of July. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess May 8! Good Luck! What a fun contest! I think it would be fun to do even without the prize!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy original guess was July 14th, however, since you do have a couple of thick ones, I'm going to go with July 21st!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
Have a great vacation!
May 22. Have a great vacation!
