Update on Book Challenge
January 31st, 2009In November, I posted a book challenge which involved reading 5 books “from the stacks.” This meant reading 5 books that you have never read from books that you already own. I was pretty sure that I could accomplish this, especially with Christmas in the middle of the challenge. I ended up reading the following (links to my reviews included):
The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
Specials by Scott Westerfeld
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
Only two of these books were for my book club, so I’m giving myself an extra pat on the back for reading more than what is “required” of my book club. I haven’t been reading too many additional books in the past year as my time is obviously limited with my new baby (can I call her “new” for the entire first year?). The Uglies series and The Last Lecture were pretty quick reads, but I still feel good about accomplishing this goal! I plan to continue to avoid buying books for as long as I can, though I’m sure I will need to make exceptions for book club.
