Spring Reading Challenge

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!

Spring Reading Thing 2008 is simply an opportunity for you to set some reading goals, share them with the blogosphere, and work toward them this spring. Perhaps you want to add some variety to your fiction reading. Or maybe you've had very good intentions as far as reading that book on budgeting or marriage or starting a home business, but...you haven't even cracked the cover yet. Some might want to read more with their children; others might feel guilty for never having read Wuthering Heights.

Or maybe you just love to read and want to share your reading list and check out everyone else's.

If any of those situations resonate with you, then the Spring Reading Thing is for you!
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.

  2. I still think 25 books is a lot! I always enjoy Ted Dekker and Melody Carlson, and I must have read Secret of the Old Clock about a hundred times when I was younger. Thanks for being part of the challenge, Deborah!

  11. 53 books in three months! I'll be doing well to get my list read.

    And I know Gayle Roper's books are great. I read the first three when they were out years ago. I'm using the publication of the fourth as an excuse to reread the first three and I am loving them just as much this go around.

    I'll have to keep my eyes open for your pic at All Consuming as well.
