Fall Reading Challenge
**This is a sticky post. Please scroll down for current entries and book giveaways.**
FINISHED!!!!!
FINISHED!!!!!
Well it's that time of the year again! Katrina at Callapidder Days is issuing out the command to get our reading lists out and done!
"As a quick refresher, the purpose of this challenge is for us to establish some goals for our reading this Fall and then work toward them. Whether you have a pile of books that you've been intending to read but just haven't yet, or you need a gentle prod to finish some books that you started but then abandoned, or you would just like a little accountability as you work through your reading stack, this is the place for you. Whether you're reading for fun, reading to learn, reading to be inspired, or reading to your kids, you are welcome here!"
So without further adieu is here is my list for the challenge! (I will be having reviews for most of the books up on my blog once I am finished with the book, so this is a preview of what is to come for the next few months). Note: These are all my library books, which means these MUST be read by the end of the challenge or face the wrath of fines! I haven't listed books I own because I don't know if I'll get around to them, but they might pop up at the end of the challenge on my list.

*Ok so I added 7 more books because I stopped by the library today and these were all on hold for me. And then I got home and looked online and saw that 2 more had come on hold after I had left. Bah. Lol, I love the library.
I am happy to see I am not the only one with a rather large list! I was starting to feel wierd ... everybody has only ten or so books on their lists. I have been reading other lists and I feel the need to add more non-fiction ... it is much harder for me to read ... most likely because I am a graduate student.
ReplyDeleteI'm already in shock and awe over all the books out here that have never entered my radar screen. That's what I love about these challenges.. Happy Fall reading to you...
ReplyDeleteI love Melody Carlson. I really enjoyed Armando's Treasure when I read it. You've got great books on your list.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right. I do love Angela Hunt. Have you read "Uncharted"? Great book.
Hi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for listing one of my books in your Fall Reading Challenge! :)
Cheers,
Wendy (author Dating Can Be Deadly)
Looks great, Deborah! I just read Waking Lazarus a couple weeks ago and thought it was pretty interesting. Thanks for being part of Fall into Reading!
ReplyDeleteWow ~ good for you! I made my list short on purpose because I knew I'd want to add a few interesting-looking ones from other lists. I hope you're planning to post some reviews of what you read!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, looks like you will be busy :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this. Did any of the book from last year have an affect on your life?
ReplyDeleteGreat List O'books!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Wow, I think I am unfamiliar with all of those! Except I have The Parting by Beverly Lewis on my list too. It will be interesting to come back for your wrap-up at the end and find out more about these.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Great list!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - you are ambitious! I can't wait to read your reviews as a lot of your books I have never heard of before. I'm always looking for new authors and new books! I do love Melody Carlson.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me there are five books in the Abraham's Daughters series. I will change my list accordingly.
ReplyDeleteI am not heading back to your post to read your list. I get the best ideas that way :0
I've read a BUNCH of those..and they are GOODIES!! Looking forward to your thoughts! You are SO much fun to read with:-)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Took me a while to work out what Ya fiction was....it's Monday...my brain is still getting into gear! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting list. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteInteresting list. I just finished tracie peterson's alaska quest series and really enjoyed her writing. Will have to check out controlling interests.
ReplyDeleteHappy trails!
Robin
Your list looks great! And thanks for the title correction :-) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! So many of your books are intriguing. I may have to add a few to my list!
ReplyDeleteI am beyond impressed with your book list! You go, girl. I have only read two books on your list--Crystal Lies and the last one in your Christian fiction list. Susanne mentioned "Uncharted". I have read that book, and I have to say that it is definitely different from most Christian fiction.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the books! Great list!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite a list! I like how you separated them into categories for us.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this fall!
Sherry
Wow! You are quite the reader! That is a lot of books!
ReplyDeleteLots of other participants reading Melody Carlson. I have not read her yet, will have to add to my every growing TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI love your reading list. Brittanie was trying to get me to sign up for the Fall Reading Challenge and I haven't even had time to come up with a list (how sad is that, LOL?)! Anyway, I did notice that you've got An Assembly Such As This by Aidan on there...LOVED that trilogy!
ReplyDeleteGreat List!! Thanks for the tips. Plese enter me to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Oh, I really enjoyed Be My Neat-Heart. I'll have to do this on my blog, too.
ReplyDeleteI want to be in the drawing for Amy Grant's book!! :) She's my all timey favorite Christian artist
ReplyDeleteGreat website!
Well, you said come back on Dec 21 and see how the list is coming. I looked through and it seems all the list is crossed off... Does that mean you met your goal? Does that include the extras you added? Good going, Congratulations.
