Cannonball Read is an annual, memorial book challenge to read and review 52, 26, or 13 books in a year, all while fundraising for the American Cancer Society.
Do you have book plans for the weekend? My book plans are more about writing than reading.

I wrote this for myself and posted it to my blog as a form of accountability to remind myself to avoid the outrage/despair cycle.

In honor of FDR’s CCC, I’m calling my rubric the 5Cs:

Cope/curate
Care
Connect
Construct
Challenge

I'm designing a couple of book reading challenges this weekend. What do you like to see from a challenge - number of books read, or kinds of book read?
