Summer Reading Challenge 2010 - hosted by Julie at My Book Retreat. It kicked off last Monday, June 21 (the first day of summer) and runs until September 21. Three whole months! To participate, create a list of the books you’d like to read or finish during this summer season...there's no minimum and no requirements as to the type of books you put on your list. YAY! See her blog for more details.
Summer Slimdown - Carina's (Reading Through Life) reading challenge starts TODAY June 29 and ends on September 6. Her one rule: it has to be on your shelf already by June 28 to count. Check out blog and post your TBR list.
Since I seem to change my reading goals every few days, I can't guarantee I'll stick to it 100%. The books with the asterisks (**) are titles that won't count toward the Summer Slimdown because they're not on my shelf yet (i.e. not yet released).
My TBR list for these summer challenges: (in no real particular order)
The King's Mistress by Emma Campion - I won an ARC...this book releases on July 6!
Dawnbreaker (Dark Days, 3) by Jocelynn Drake
Pray for Dawn (Dark Days, 4) by Jocelynn Drake** Releases TODAY June 29!!
Dracula In Love by Karen Essex - I have an ARC. This book releases on August 10!
Dracula by Bram Stoker - I attempted to read it once but got sidetracked...need to read it before I start Dracula In Love. Plus, it's a 1001 book.
The Puzzle Ring by Kate Forsyth
Graceling by Kristin Cashmore - I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't read this one yet.
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins** Releases on August 24! I can't wait for this one!!
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Fairest by Gail Carson Levine
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - 1001 Book. I'm behind in my 1001 book challenge (reading ten 1001 books this year).
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson - 1001 Book (part of an anthology with Frankenstein and Dracula)
That's 13 books! I'll update my progress throughout the summer. Happy readings!
Hey there... did someone mention the 1001 book list1?
ReplyDeleteI guess as you know about the list, you're aware of the 1001 Books spreadsheet and have a copy of the new v4 edition, right? If not, head over to the spreadsheet page on Arukiyomi.
The Puzzle Ring is SO good. You'll love it.
ReplyDelete@Arukiyomi - Thanks for the link. I've been using 2006 spreadsheet.
ReplyDelete@Juju - I'm so excited to read The Puzzle Ring...Sounds like a story I'll love. :)
Great list! Thanks for joining my challenge. I should have put Mockingjay on mine too, because I'm sure I'll be reading it as soon as it comes out!
