Fall Fun

Now that BBAW is almost over, my mind is turning to the next couple of bookish events. The first is this:


Fall Into Reading 2009, hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days. Doesn't she have the cutest button for this challenge?

I have taken inventory of the books I need to read in order to finish the challenges I want to complete. If I read all the books on the list below, I will make my goal for the year. If not, oh well! I will have had a great year anyway. :)

1. Emma: Jane Austen-finished
2. The Governess; or, the Little Female Academy: Sarah Fielding -finished
3. The Chili Queen: Sandra Dallas-finished
4. Mr. Pip: Lloyd Jones-finished
5. Jane Emily: Patricia Clapp-finished
6. Foreign Affairs: Alison Lurie-finished.
7. The Zookeeper's Wife:
Diane Ackerman-finished
8. Last Night at the Lobster: Stewart O'Nan- finished
9. The Lucky Ones- finished
10. Night of Many Dreams
11. The X-mas Season--finished

  4. Yes, she does have a cute button :)

    I have heard a lot about the Zookeeper's Wife, and after reading Life of Pi and Hannah's Dream, both zoo-ish books, I am interested.

  5. Oh - lots of variety. I like it! I've been curious about Zookeeper's Wife, too. And I just finished a Jasper Fforde audiobook (First Among Sequels). Thanks for the compliment on the button! :)

    Enjoy your fall reading!
