Fall Into Reading 2010: Wrap Up!!


Well it is that time.  Time to wrap-up our reading challenge.  I have really enjoyed it.  It has made my reading this fall something to work towards.  It has kept me accountable, as well.  Thus, I have been reading far more than I would have otherwise!!

Some things I have learned:
 - I do not need to read everything I think I need to read (i.e. Catcher and the Rye)
 - Also, just because a book is a classic does not mean that it is GOOD (i.e. Catcher and the Rye)
 - Sometimes it is nice to just read for pleasure, simple easy books!!
 - I don't think I will ever be ready for the 'post modern' novel...

So with all of that under my belt, here is my final list!!

1) The Short 2nd Life of Brie Tanner - Stephanie Meyers (Read)

2) The Hangman's Curse - Frank Peretti (Read)

3) Your God is Too Safe - Mark Buchanan (Couldn't get into it)

4) Catcher and the Rye (Could not get into!)

5) Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series (have read 5 of the 8 books)

6) Round Robin (Elm Creek Quilt Series) - Jennifer Chiaverini (Read)

7) Blue Corn Murders - (read)

8) One Hundred Million Hearts - Kerri Sakamoto (read)

9) The Best Christmas Pageant Ever - Barabara Robinson (read)
