OFFICIAL SPRING CHALLENGE - 2009 Showing 951-1,000 of 6,381

[Cynthia]

To clarify - If you are reading a book ABOUT a diarist he or she should have lived primarily during the 1800s...but if you are reading a diary or non-fiction BY that person it has to have been written during the 1800s.

[Hilary]

I'm in. I haven't done this before, but the Spring Challenge looks like fun. I will post results as I complete them?

Angela, what did you think about Identical by Hopkins? I read it around New Years. It was the first book I read by Hopkins, but I thought the poems within a poem everytime she switched between the two girls was amazing, and surprisingly relevant. The story was interesting, and sad I thought, but she is a good writer...

For Jon's task, would it be okay to read multiple books that add up to 400 pages? My daughter (who's still in middle school) is having a hard time finding something appropriate to read for this task, as I'm sure you could imagine! If this is unacceptable, do you know of a book that would be appropriate for a young person?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Where's Darla?? I want to know what my last task will be........ I left my flash drive (which has all my challenge stuff on it) at home... grrrrrrr... now I can't fiddle with my spreadsheet! :(

[Jamie]

Carol - Your list looks fun! I love how you've worked in most of the HP and Twilight books!

[Sara ♥]

Jamie wrote: "Carol - Your list looks fun! I love how you've worked in most of the HP and Twilight books!"

I really like how my list worked out, too. I was a bit worried at the beginning, but I've worked in a bunch of books I've been wanting/needing to read (a LOT of YA stuff), so that's nice. I was going to post my updated list, but again with the stick drive being at home...

[Jamie]

Sara - Mine turned out that way, too. I think I only added four or five books that weren't already on my TBR list. I've been wanting to read many of them for quite some time, too, so I'm excited!

Thanks, Fiona. I'm not sure she'd be able to get through that book, though. It might be a bit much for her.

I'd ask Jon and Cynthia on that one, since your daughter is quite young. Are there biographies on Prince William and Prince Harry?? ;) They're cute... There are also little biographies on Princess Diana that are only like 160 pages. So if they okay the multiple book thing, there are some nice shorter options.

William: HRH Prince William of Wales
Prince Harry: The Biography
Diana, Princess of Wales: A Biography
etc.

Yay, Ros's book is in my local library. So El, I am gonna read it as well.

[Angela]

I have read all of her books and I love them all... at first I was leary because of the format they are written in (verse), but I was hooked immediately... I especially liked the twist at the end!

[El]

Carol, how about In the Heart of the Sea The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex?

Or The Loss of the Ship Essex, Sunk by a Whale - the Ship Essex is what Melville based Moby Dick on, so there are several books out there about that story. This particular one is a first-hand account of what happened.

If that's not your thing you could probably read Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea or Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. I didn't look closely enough at the task to remember now if it's supposed to be non-fiction or fiction, or if it even matters.

[Cynthia]

I finished a great and terrible beauty... WOW! I barely slept last night reading it threw!! 15 pts!

Thank you for the ideas!
I think I´ll read the first one on the task about reading a book with too many words lol
Maybe The Old Man and the Sea it´s not acceptable cause are less them 100 pages, too bad cause I own the book lol
Maybe I´ll stick with Verne, them.

But thanks again :D
