and below THAT are the stipulations of the challenge. it's supposed to be 10 books in July, but i'm going to make it July & August becasue, let's face it, I read slow.
I've always wanted to read a wrinkle in time, Sookie Stackhouse is my guilty pleasure, Matt Recommended the Murakami book, and I am so intrigued by Never Let Me Go; it's so exactly my kind of fantasy book--oddly normal but so twisted. I've read the first ten pages and am so excited to see what's going to happen next. I think I have quite the variety of styles and voices, and I'll fill you in as I work my way through the challenge.
Here's to a great summer, everyone!
Happy reading!
Love, Sus

ReplyDeleteMy booklovers' website gave me a book challenge. Are you on Goodreads.com? I love it! If you end up on there, let me know and we can be book buddies!
ReplyDeleteI just decided to try reading a specific genre--one i don't write and is fairly unfamiliar to me. It's also a very wide genre, and all 4 of these books are so different. HOWEVER! I must read ten of them. this is just the beginning. If you have any recommendations--look at the guidelines and send them along!
