This was my third year participating in the Fall Into Reading Challenge hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days. I can't believe how fast it went by! I didn't even manage to put up my recap post in time to be eligible for the prize. But I am very glad to have joined in again this year.
I had 15 books on my list to read throughout Fall. I managed to read 11 of the 15 books, which is pretty good but not great. I did read several other books instead of the ones on my list, though. I just decided I didn't want to read all the books on my list in the end. I read:
- Before the Last All Clear by Ray Evans (review)
- The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen (review)
- Commune of Women by Suzan Still (review)
- What Alice Forgot by Leane Moriarty (review)
- Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (review)
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (for Banned Books Week) (review)
- Beyond the Darkness by Leonard D. Hilley II (review)
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (review)
- Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford (review)
- The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton (review)
- The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith (review to come)
- Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
- All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg
- Sweet Dates in Basra by Jessica Jiji
- Godmother by Carolyn Turgeon
Thanks so much to Katrina for hosting this challenge. I look forward to joining in her Spring Reading Thing Challenge once we get through winter!
I enjoyed reading The Book Thief too. I'm going to check out What Alice Forgot!
ReplyDeleteOH, there was a deadline for the final post? And a prize? Kind of out of it, I guess! Rough time of year for meeting deadlines :) I hope to post my two summaries of this challenge later today. This was my first-ever challenge (well, I signed up for Where Are You Reading but only to track locations). Anyway, you did very well - 15 was an aggressive goal!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the challenge -
