Last April, I committed to reading 101 specific books (no changing!) in 1001 days. I’ve made it to 51, so I’m halfway finished. I have until December 28, 2010, but some of the chunksters are still on my list and are worrying me a bit. Also, I do have a few titles that I now wish weren’t on the list, but I’m committed to not changing it. I will follow through; I will follow through! If you’d like to see my list, it’s here.
I’ve been on a Newbery kick lately and have listened to quite a few audios of Newbery titles. My favorite so far that I’ve read recently is Dear Mr. Henshaw. I loved it. When I’m in a reading slump, kids books and audios never let me down. I think I may be over the slump, though, because today I read The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho in one sitting. It was definitely a 4.5 or 5 book for me — very thought provoking about the issue of whether people are basically good or basically evil. Then this evening I started right in on Petropolis by Anya Ulinich, and it looks like a winner as well.
Just a reminder! If you’d like to participate in the Bookworms Carnival issue featuring book awards, please email me. See the details in this post.
Have a good week, everyone!
