Anna Tobler | 12 comments Hello, well I am excited about this project and I hope I make enough time to read as much as I desire. My goal for this summer is to read at least ten books. I want to read all the books I haven't read in my own personal library. They are the following;
Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
Half the Sky Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D. Kristof
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick Les Miserables (Classics Illustrated) by Victor Hugo Tribute by Nora Roberts
Gates of Paradise (Blue Bloods, #7) by Melissa de la Cruz
Lucy in the Sky by Anonymous Fever (The Chemical Garden, #2) by Lauren DeStefano Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe The Hobbit (Middle-Earth Universe) by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Memory Keeper's Daughter A Novel by Kim Edwards
I know this is a little ambitious, but why not challenge yourself?

Great list! Cold Sassy Tree is one I need to add to my list. I've wanted to read it for years! Maybe this summer I'll get to it too. ;)

Anna Tobler | 12 comments Thank you,ma'am! It would be great to discuss it with someone! Cold Sassy Tree has been gathering dust on my book shelf for awhile, about time I get on it. Ha ha

Maria | 11 comments Well this summer I am hoping to reach my goal of reading 30+ books. I don't have any specific titles just whatever looks good.

Andrew Hutchinson (hutchinsona) I plan to read six books this summer, but I hope to read more than that. I am going to read books from the reading log given to us and any recommended books as well.
