Well, it is Autumn and time for Fall Into Reading 2008, hosted by Katrina of Callapidder Days!I have spent quite a bit of time over the weekend, compiling lists of challenges and the corresponding books which have completion dates between now and December. I them compiled a master list of all the books I would need to read in the next 3 months to finish each challenge and the number is 16! That would mean 6 books a month which is going to be a real stretch for me--what with working full time and being a mom and wife!
But I will give it the old college try, learn from my joining up mistakes of 2008 after joining every great looking challenge that came along, and work at being more choosy in 2009! Or, at least get better at combining/crossing over more books between challenges. ;)
The List:
**The Good Earth
**Summer
**The Dollmaker
**Where the Lilies Bloom-finished
**The Used World--finished
**Any Place I Hang My Hat-finished
**Seeing the Crab-finished
**In My Hands-finished
**A Wrinkle in Time-finished
**Kabul Beauty School-finished
**In the Country of Men-finished
**Memory Keeper's Daughter-finished
**Under Sea, Over Stone-finished
**The Perilous Gard--finished
**Dreaming of Water

I've been thinking of picking up Memory Keeper's Daughter over and over. I look forward to hearing what you think.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Kim.
ReplyDeleteI also have The Used World on my challenge list. It has been on my shelf for a very long time.
I've heard mixed reviews about The Memory Keeper's Daughter, but I loved it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great list. You have a couple that are my eventual read pile. Good luck getting them all read :-)
ReplyDeleteMany of these are new to me. I've loved Wrinkle in Time since I was a pre-teen, and I've been curious about The Memory Keeper's Daughter, but haven't quite gotten around to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being part of Fall Into Reading '08!
