The Fall into Reading Challenge starts today from Callapidder Days. Its a low pressure challenge to try and get back into reading again. I was flying through books last Spring and then over the summer it sort of slowed down. Now i'm trying to go back and finish up several books i started but put down for one reason or another. There's a lot of non-fiction but right now that's what's interesting to me. But it does take me longer to get through a lot of those books. So anyway here's my list.Books to Finish:
1. Bringing Up Boys - James Dobson
2. Soft Women, Strong Hearts - Paula Rinehart
3. The New Strong-Willed Child - James Dobson
4. Master Your Metabolism - Jillian Michaels
5. The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger (on CD)
Non-Fiction on my list
1. Crazy Love - Francis Chan
2. Understanding Exposure - Bryan Peterson
3. One in a Million - Priscilla Shirer
4. Dancing with My Father - Sally Clarkson
5. Captivating - John & Stasi Eldredge
6. Effective Parenting in a Defective World - Chip Ingram
7. Cure for the Common Life - Max Lucado
8. Everyday Talk - John Younts
Fiction
1. Strawberry Shortcake Murder - Joanne Fluke
2. Blueberry Muffin Murder - Joanne Fluke
3. Lemon Meringue Pie Murder - Joanne Fluke
4. Fudge Cupcake Murder - Joanne Fluke
5. The Wedding Officer - Anthony Capella
6. When Crickets Cry - Charles Martin
7. Dear John - Nicholas Sparks
8. The Last Song - Nicholas Sparks
Wow 21 books, that might be stretching it, but we'll see how far i get, if i could finish up all the books i'm in the middle of right now and read a couple extra i'd be very happy with that. If you're interested in the challenge head over to Callapidder Days and link up or just check out everyone else's lists. Have a great day!
I can tell you right now that you will really enjoy Crazy Love. It is on my "to finish" list for this challenge. It has really inspired me. At this point, if anyone asks me what book she/he should read, I will shout, "CRAZY LOVE! Go get it TODAY!" :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love how you put links for each one. That is really nice and smart.
WOW what a list - you have put me to shame with my meager 5!!! lol Judith
ReplyDeleteI read Soft Women, Strong Hearts some time ago...don't remember anything about it, though!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Bringing Up Boys almost landed on my list also! I just finished Wild Things: The art of nurturing boys though, so I thought it might be too similar. =) You have a great list! I look forward to coming back and reading your reviews. =)
ReplyDeleteYou have a very well rounded list; I wish you great success with the challenge! :O)
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to read a Nicholas Spark book. All I have done thus far is watch "The Notebook." I cry every time I see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading "Redeeming Love." I couldn't remember what it was about--I just picked randomly. But evidently God was in it! I know He was!
That is a lot of non-fiction, but they all look great! I've read the Dobson books and the Lucado books -- good stuff. I also have Understanding Exposure on my bookshelf (because my photography skills are pathetic), but I still haven't read it...
ReplyDeleteThanks for being part of FIR '10!
Great list. It's nice that they're separated out. Mine is long and random! Enjoy!!!
