I said I would only read 5-6 books for this challenge, and I’ve completed 5 [edit: I actually finished 7 before Dec. 31] so I’m saying that this challenge is complete. I’ll likely add at least 2 more links to reviews of the remaining titles on this list by the end of the year. But, it just feels so good to cross things off my to-do list, so I’m crossing this one off. I have other challenges I need to worry about now!
I really enjoyed this challenge, and I’m hoping that Lisa will continue this or someone will host a similar one next year.
Here are the books I completed:
Winter Wheat by Mildred Walker
The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler FINISHED
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli FINISHED
