Spring Reading Thing 2011



I'm once again joining the Spring Reading Thing challenge hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days. It's a very low-pressure challenge. All you have to do is put together a list of the books you want to read during Spring (March 20 - June 20) and then read them!

Here's my list for 2011:
  1. Spinning by Michael Baron
  2. The Girl's Guide to Homelessness by Brianna Karp
  3. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
  4. The Pharos Objective by David Sakmyster
  5. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
  6. In the Lap of the Gods by Li Miao Lovett
  7. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
  8. A New Prospect by Wayne Zurl
    I'm also going to finish Aliens on Vacation by Clete Smith, which I'm reading aloud to my son.
      I plan to read more books than this, but these are the titles I'm ready to commit to for now. I'm sure I'll accept a few more review books and find more Nook books to download during that period of time. I'll keep track of my progress here.
