TSRC ~ Spring Challenge 2013: Reading Plan




I joined the The Seasonal Reading Challenge for the first time during the middle of the Winter 2012-13 Challenge. I have never worked harder on a reading challenge! I read so many books that I feel like that I have a real shot at reading 100 books this year. That is, if I continue participating in the challenge.

The Spring Challenge runs from March 1 to May 31, 2013. Check out the group post, The Spring 2013 Challenge Begins, for more details. The theme for the Spring Challenge 2013 is The White Tiger of the West representing Autumn. In honor of the feline theme, I am going to start reading the Cat Who mystery series by Lilian Jackson Braun.

I am evaluating my bookshelves and TBR (To Be Read) lists to fill in my plan. I will be updating it frequently so stop by every now and then to see what's new. I need to free up room on my shelfves so I will be posting some of my reads on PaperBackSwap. If you decide to join the challenge, please let me know.

Weather Girls - It's Raining Men

I am dancing in my chair to the Weather Girls' song, It's Raining Men while searching for my first man in uniform book from the Goodreads' I Love A Man In Uniform list recommended by Brianna, The Book Vixen. I am participating in her Men in Uniform Reading Challenge. I think Dear John by . What do you recommend?




"Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half past ten 
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men"
