Book Challenge!

[suzi1780]

1. Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea - Chelsea Handler (4 out of 5 for the laughs this book gave me)

I just finished this book, thought it was pretty funny.

On my break from English classes this summer (I have been taking Busniess classes, so a lot less reading) I have read:

-Marley & Me by John Grogan (man did I cry!!)

-The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

-Mommywood by Tori Spelling (not as good as her first book but was still a good read)

-sTori Telling by Tori Spelling (I was shocked at how much I really enjoyed this book)

-Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets by Jon
Gosselin, Kate Gosselin (I read this before all the stuff in the news!)

-The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom (good quick read)

-The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (liked it but, it is very sad! I am more of a happy book person hahaha)

hmm... I am sure I am forgetting something... anyway I enjoy light hearted easy to read books on my down time since during school I am reading the heavy stuff. Today I picked up The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and then after that will be A Lion Called Christian: by Anthony Bourke, John Rendall. This is the story behind the youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVNTdWbVBgc that freaking clip causes me to cry everytime I watch it!! Animal Planet did a show about it and got me interested in reading the book. And lastly someday I hope to read The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, I say someday because I am number 175 on hold through the library!

Its sad that most of my book reading is done to Remy now a days. I am, however, reading George Orwell's "The Road to Wigan Pier." I was going to read A catcher in the rye, but I checked out the wrong copy. Bah.

[LinzWolf]

I think I'm just going to start this know, because I can't remember what I read last month! I'm sorta reading two books right now....I'll have to post when I get done....I think I'll set mine for 50 and see how it goes!

 

[RDZCRanch]

Alright...I'll jump on the bandwagon here. I'm reading one book now but plan on rereading a series I finished a while ago because a new book came out and I forgot what happened, lol. I usually read between 50-90 books a year and that's while working part time and going to school full time. I read...really...fast. Anyhow...I'll post more once I get a couple books done. My goal is to have the series of I think 7 books and the one I am halfway through right now done by the end of the month.

Inspired by Laurie, I guess I'll join the reading fun that I didn't find time to do for a while...I'll set at 15 for now and after I reached the goal I'll read more.(I missed July so do I get a discount? LOL~)
I'm currently reading Raining Cats & Dogs by Laurien Berenson, after this one, I'll go for Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell.

 

[Peep_erz]
