Fall Into Reading 2008 Results & Reviews

January 3, 2009 by Darlene

Many thanks to Katrina for the Fall Into Reading Challenge. I did really well with this one although I’m pretty sure my original list looks nothing like this finished list does. You can see my original list here. There is actually quite a few of the books on this one that I completed although my finished list seems longer which is a good thing right. Ok, here goes with the books and the links to the reviews:

Matrimony by Joshua Henkin
Rachael Ray’s Big Orange Book
Cole Family Christmas by Jennifer Liu Bryan with Hazel Cole Kendle
Nigella Christmas by Nigella Lawson
Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics
The Scream by Rohinton Mistry
The Professors’ Wives’ Club by Joanne Rendell
Coventry by Helen Humphreys
The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran
Nefertiti by Michelle Moran
The Firemaster’s Mistress by Christie Dickason
Knit Two by Kate Jacobs
Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence

The Letters by Luanne Rice & Joseph Monninger
The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews
Exit Lines by Joan Barfoot
Annette Vallon by James Tipton
This One is Mine by Maria Semple

I really enjoyed this challenge mainly because I was able to change the list to what I was actually getting read. I never did get to the last two on this list although I had every intention to so I guess I didn’t quite complete it. The ones from the original list which I didn’t read but will be this year were:

Red Dog, Red Dog-Patrick Lane
Little Women-Louisa May Alcott
Promise the Moon-Elizabeth Joy Arnold
Tomorrow-Graham Swift
First Daughter-Eric Van Lustbader
Mudbound-Hillary Jordan
Wuthering Heights-Emily Bronte
A Recipe for Bees-Gail Anderson-Dargatz
The Book Thief-Markus Zusak
Babylon Rolling-Amanda Boyden
The Retreat-David Bergen
The Wased Vigil-Nadeem Aslam

So, onto 2009 and more challenges. I’m starting out with very good intentions and am going to succeed at them all!

    Thanks Kathy. I didn’t realize I had read that much until I wrote it all down.

    Naida, I was a few short of completing it and I had changed a lot but I still managed to get a lot of books read for it.
