A Couple of More Challenges
Well, I can’t help myself. Not only do I have my own crazy 52 books in 52 weeks TIMES three personal challenge, A-Z Title and Author Challenge, and the Young Adult Challenge, so I might as well join these two challenges because they sound like too much fun without the extra reading!
Callapidder Days 2008 Spring Reading Thing hosted by Katrina. Simply read any amount of books in any genre between March 20th and June 19th. Sound easy! Especially as I’ve been averaging about 10-15 books a month this year (let’s see if I actually keep up the pace!).
I Am the Messenger by Marcus Zusak
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

And the Non-Fiction Five Challenge from Joy! I’ve mostly been reading parenting books and memoirs so I might as well get in on the fun of this one! And I have until September. Double bonus. My list as it is now, it may or may not change:

on March 21st, 2008 at 6:15 pmLooks good, Natasha. I’m amazed at how many challenges you have going on! I really liked My Sister’s Keeper, and I’m curious about Friday Night Knitting Club and Pillars of the Earth (though the sheer length of Pillars has been intimidating me!). Thanks for being part of SRT ‘08!
