Fall Into Reading 2007

Katrina at Callapider Days is hosting a Fall Reading Challenge! Since Fall refuses to come to this part of the world, this graphic may be the closest I come to the season this year! ::snort:: I LOVE Katrina's graphics. Her Spring Thing Reading Challenge was the first blog challenge I'd participated in.

I think that for next year I will begin a running list like my friend, Cindy does. However, this will do for now. I'll mark the books I've read in red. I reserve the right to add to this list and not read the books on this list if I so desire. I'm still waiting for several of these books on PBS, so I may well read others I see at the library. Books in red are books that I've read. Most will have a review on my blog. Sorry, I've not had time to link them all, but you can do a search on the title and find a review, if you'd like.

Ok.. THAT is one long list of books! I need to update my book list because I have read a few more... I need to review them and mark them off!

I do like keeping one list and having all of the challenges all in one email... it's just easier for me that way.

Are you going to do a winter challenge? I hope someone does! I want another icon!

I have to stop reading your book challenge lists when I'm already tired!

Emily said...

I wish I had that much time to read :-)

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

LOL It's no longer than my list for the other challenges.

Yes, I am thinking about a winter challenge.

Ladies - no one said I'll get them ALL read - this is my list....some of them were still left over from the first challenge. LOL

We read Night aloud last winter. It was very, very good!

Neat list! I just went & requested one that you had mentioned (Arctic Homestead) - like I need more books to read - but it sounded interesting!!! :-)

Great list of books. I love terri blackstock. I have also read "out of sync" and it is the best book. Even if your child just has a couple eccentricities, it is a very helpful book.
