Welcome

The Premise: 
Last year, Mommy Meg (a friend and fellow blogger) brought up the fact that after having two kids her amount of reading time had greatly diminished while her intended to read pile of books steadily grew.  This led to a discussion of a reading competition that would last a year; and hopefully, encourage both of us to read.  That was the beginning of 2009 and for one year we read and posted our books on our corresponding blogs.  Having been such a success in prompting us to pick up those dust covered books, we decided to continue that competition into 2010.  And thus, the start of my book reviewing and tracking blog.

The Stats: (2009 data)
Mommy Meg:  20
Bent Over Books:  33

The Challengers:
Mommy Meg will be competing with three children under three for the next month or so.  Look for a slow start, but a race to the end, as the number of diapers and spit up rags used per week decreases.  Add on top of this one husband, one dog, and one house to keep clean, and the challenges met will be unforseeable.

Bent Over Books will be competing with two children until July, when she will also be a mommy to three under three.  So look for a fast break out of the gate, followed by a crawling pace mid-year, and a steady increase in the last lap.  Additional challenges will be a husband, a cat, and a house to remodel.

Happy reading!
