The U.S. Presidents Reading Project, hosted by Books 'N Border Collies:
Read a non-fiction book about each U.S. President.
- The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama (44)
The Chunkster Challenge, hosted by Think Pink Dana.
I need to read 4 chunksters by December 20. So far, I've read:
- The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
I have to read 5 classics, and one bonus "new" classic by December 31. I've read:
- Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding (my new classic)
Each month we read one book that's been on our shelves since at least 2007. My list:
- Moneyball by Michael Lewis
- Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
- Toddler, edited by Jennifer Margulis
- Summer Knight by Jim Butcher
- gods in Alabama by Jossilyn Jackson
- Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot
- The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
- Cerulean Sins by Laurel K. Hamilton
I loved Gods in Alabama. She had me hooked from the first sentence of the book.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you *fail* a challenge just because you don't complete it! You've still explored a new theme, and probably been introduced to books you hadn't heard of before, you know?
ReplyDeleteI orginally wrote out a list for my A-Z challenge but now I think I'm going to go back and see if I can plug in books that I've read this year. I signed up for to many challenges as well.
ReplyDeleteYay Rah Rah Yay!! That's me being a cheerleader by the way. I think next year I'm going to take it a little easier on the challenges (although that's what I said LAST year!). I love them but I also don't leave myself enough room for whims. But Eva's totally right--you don't fail if you don't complete it--it was still a good experience AND you're reading!! That's always the best part!
