Spring has certainly sprung - woo hoo! The weather this weekend was absolutely beautiful! Incidentally, the Spring Reading Thing 2010 started yesterday (runs to June 20th - the end of Spring). This "challenge" only requires that you decide and document what you plan to read in the period - no other requirements. I think this will help me be more intentional in my reading and not just be governed by review and book club obligations. So my list is a mix of those obligations but also some other books that are calling to me from the shelves:
- Hiking Through: Finding Peace and Freedom on the Appalachian Trail
by Paul Stutzman
- Very Valentine: A Novel
by Adriana Trigiani
- Brava, Valentine: A Novel
by Adriana Trigiani
- The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott
by Kelly O'Connor McNees
- The Life O'Reilly
by Brian Cohen
- The Swimming Pool
by Holly Lecraw
- The Season of Second Chances: A Novel
by Diane Meier
- The Space Between Us: A Novel by Thrity Urmigar
- Brooklyn: A Novel
by Colm Toibin
- Night
by Elie Wiesel
- The Corrections
by Jonathan Franzen
- Catch-22
by Joseph Heller
I have Hiking Through on my list too. Happy Spring Reading. :)
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to see what you think of The Corrections. I loved it, but my book club was divided.... great characters!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. You have several on your list that I hope to get to someday. I look forward to reading your reviews.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteOooh you have a great Spring ahead of you! I could never plan out my reading that far ahead - I change my mind too often for that :/ Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteFun challenge! I've got a graduation to plan so I may not get any more reading done than the ones I have to read but I certainly hope so!
ReplyDeleteWe have three books on common on our lists, The Lost Summer, Swimming Pool, and O'Reilly. Good luck with your list!
