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)

Fall Into Reading 2010: An Update

Here is an update of my Fall Into Reading 2010 list.  I had to take Catcher and the Rye off of the list because I could not get into it.  I gave it a good try, too.  (6 Chapters)  Still, it did not peak my interest.  So, it was replaced by another Elm Creek Quilters Series book, which I love.  The characters are good.  The story lines are original.  And it is about quilting.

Anyway, here's the updated list!!  Will keep you posted.

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 (Currently Reading)

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

5) Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series

6) Round Robin (Elm Creek Quilters Series)- Jennifer Chiaverini  (Currently Reading)

Fall Into Reading 2010: My Book List

Okay!  As promised.  Here I am with my book list.  It is not too late to sign-up if you want.  click the link above!!

Here is my list of books so far.  I will continue to update the list with new additions and let you know how I am doing!

1) The Short 2nd Life of Brie Tanner - Stephanie Meyers (Read)
2) The Hangman's Curse - Frank Peretti  (Currently Reading)
3) Your God is Too Safe - Mark Buchanan
4) Catcher and the Rye
5) Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series

I may add more as I go on.  I thought I would start with these 5 and see where it takes me.  As you can see, I have already finished one (just the other night), but I am still counting it as I said it was on my list from before.

I will try to keep you updated once a week or so, to let you know my progress!!  Happy Reading, y'all!!

Some books...

I am still trying to come up with some books for the challenge.  So far I have:

The Short Second Life of Brie Tanner - Stephenie Meyer  (This will take me 2-3 days to read, tops!)
Catcher and the Rye - J.D. Salinger (because I have never read it!!)

That's not very many books.  So, I was hoping you might have some suggestions?  Please post if you do!!  I like to read many different types of books (though no sci-fi or fantasy or romance books)!  Any suggestions would be great.
