A Summer Reading Challenge
I will update this post with the book names and, if I do them, reviews, as I go along. Note: that I may not be able to wholeheartedly recommend EVERY book below, so read at your own risk and whatnot. :)
On a rather random note: I'm on vacation to Charleston at this very moment so my heart sang with the perfection of the picture above when I discovered it on my Pinterest board!

DeleteAbby,
Thank you so much for your happiness. :) I've actually thought of your South post quite often when we were there!
I think I may have gotten in over my head a bit, but a bit of daring can be quite healthy sometimes, right?
I tend to overreach on reading challenges (I don't even want to know where I am for my year), but I always find them fun in theory. I need to sign my little sisters up for our library systems challenges. One year our smaller (county) library had one for adults.
ReplyDeleteLivia Rachelle,
DeleteI have that habit, too. :) But I've determined that this year shall be a new leaf for me in reading challenges.
You're in Charleston?? I hope you're having LOTS of fun! I actually have a friend who just came back from visiting South Carolina. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a great summer reading list! I'm looking forward to any reviews to post for the books you read. :)
Natalie,
DeleteYes, we were and it was heavenly!!!! That is so neat about your friend! Would it not have been comical if we'd seen each other and never have known? The idea is fascinating!
Thank you very much to both last statements. :)
BTW: Did my letter arrive? The sending was rather fraught with mild adventure so I just want to make sure. :) Also, I wanted to give you an update on your story: I find it catching my imagination at random times as I just can't stop puzzling over what might happen next! I just thought you might want to know it's long term affect upon readers. :)
I hope your studies are buzzing along finely!
Yes, indeed! It is fascinating how truly "small" the world can feel sometimes when and if friends know mutual friends or meet someone by chance. :)
DeleteAgain, I am SO happy to hear how my story has caught your imagination! There really is no better encouragement than to hear that my readers still think about my story. :D
Thank you, they are! Today I'm hoping to get to a history test that will be my LAST one. Yay!!
