  3. Wow–you have some great reading ahead of you! I’m really looking forward to reading your thoughts on ALL of the books! 🙂

  5. Thanks Mary and Laura. I got started on a couple of them last night-hopefully I can keep up with myself. lol.

  7. Thanks A. I’m off to see what everyone else is going to be reading this fall. I always end up getting some good book recommendations from these challenges.

  11. Looks good! I read The Book Thief last year and really liked it, though I admit it took me a little while to get into it.

    I keep seeing The Story of Edgar Sawtelle popping up on lists. Some of Oprah’s picks seem so very depressing to me, so I’m going to wait and see what everyone thinks of this one before I make a decision on it. 🙂

    Thanks for joining the challenge!

  12. I’ve been interested in The Abstinence Teacher ever since I heard about it. I can’t wait for your review because you’ll get finished much sooner than I will. 🙂

  13. You’ll like the book thief. That one was awesome! I’ll be joining this challenge as well, but haven’t made up my list yet.

  14. Fantastic list!
    Feel free to drop by my blog and take a look around. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment or two! 😀

  16. Thanks daddy’s chick’s, Lindsay 🙂

    Trish, all the classics are the ones I have for your challenge. lol. I cheated.

    Hi Katrina, thanks for popping in. I haven’t been too intrigued by Oprah’s picks in quite a while but I’m going to give this one a go. I’m looking forward to the challenge although I think I may already be changing my list. Yikes.

    Jennifer, I’m about halfway through The Abstinence Teacher. I should finish it in the next week or so. It’s not too bad so far.

    Natasha, that’s what everyone is telling me regarding The Book Thief. I’m anxious to read it. I look forward to seeing your list for fall.

    Thanks Eva, I will be dropping by your site. I love leaving comments and getting them!

    Anna, I’ll be popping over to see your list. I just finished Chatterley. I should have the review up today. The other’s I’ll be getting to eventually-lol.

  17. At the point in the year I’m cheating anywhere I can. 🙂 I allowed cross-overs just for that reason…

  20. Hi Lenore, thanks. I’ve not read Little Children but I’ve heard it’s quite good-I’ll have to add it to the list. I’ll have my review for Abstinence Teacher up sometime this week. I’m pretty sure I starred your review of Deborah to come back to once I’ve read it. I’ll add it onto my review when I get that far. lol.

  23. Lenore, I have Abstinence Teacher up now.

    Swapna, I agree. I was looking at my list again and thinking how am I ever going to read those. I guess I’ll see how many I get through-hopefully most.
