You frighten me with all of your challenges. I often wonder if there's one central spot that we can "shop from" for book challenges. I think I'm down for 10 right now.
wow wow wow!!! you are game for reading!!! i've only read a few on your list: 4,21, 22 23 24 & 30. but i just bought approximately 20 books on amazon (the used ones!) so i will be reading a lot too!
Wow, was that 3 or 4 book challenges in a row? Please tell me you've already read the twilight series and this will be your second time? Or have you not turned to the dark side yet?
I just found your blog today, saw you commented at Yaya's of which I am a regular so I thought I'd stop by! I LOVE reading! Right now I'm working on the True Blood series. My fav book of all time is To Kill a Mocking Bird.
oh i did finnish american wife.. i am not sure of my feelings. i can't wait till next week to discuss it on girls with books.
oh my daughter did the purse thing..oh my goodness her purse was bad but she had me laughing so hard.
i hope she had fun doing it!
I thought you already read the Anne Series? Looking forward to reading your reviews on them. I loved that series. I even wanted to name one of my girls Anne Shirley, but my Hubby said that sounded like an old lady name. What does he know:p
But this seems like a challenge I can do. I am gonna think about it. It might spark my love for reading again.
Good luck:)
#30 and 31 should be moved into the top spots if you ask me! Two of my favorite books of ALL TIME!
And does this challenge mean books that you already have lying around? I read it as books that you yourself had written at first. I thought "Boy, that is really hard if you aren't published." Perhaps I am up past my bedtime and should go to sleep now.
I've read all the Lucy Maud Montgomery and the Louisa May Alcott books. Absolutely worth the reads. All of them.
I'm an avid reader myself. I knw I liked you :)
Look back at my comments.....since you love a challengem I've challenged you to a "BIBLE CAKE BAKE OFF". Not kidding. Totally serious. May the best reading girl win :)
Love your blog and.......
Steady On

Fantastic list.. I have Three Cups of Tea and Five Quarters of the Orange as well. Will you review them all, as well? I've always been curious about Omnivore's Dilemma!
Really great blog!
My TBR pile is pretty out there too.
