The Help, #261 on pg 3
I thought this book was excellent and deserved a place on the list. I have read almost everything on the first page (only excerpts of The Koran, The Book of Mormon, and The Bible) I think almost any on the first page could take the top spot depending on where you are in your reading life- I would push a few much further down the list, but those titles have captured their audience. After rereading Mockingbird last season, I would give it the top spot.

I'm done. 78 books, 22,220 pages. average rating 3.4
no stinkers! only 5 2 stars, 39 3 stars, 31 4 stars, 3 5 stars. I read some really good books that I would not have picked up if it were not for the imagination and generosity of the members here. Thanks, Cynthia, I truly appreciate all your effort. It has enriched my reading in so many ways.
Finally on the board! 85 points with more to come soon!10.5: The White Mary: A Novel by Kira Salek
Book about a journalist who goes to Papua New Guineau by herself in search of another journalist. Great read!
20.7: Sepulchre by Kate Moss
Book related to music and I really need to clean out my CDs!
25.7: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
30.5: A. Last Night at the Lobster by Steward O'Nan and B. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill.
Stewart O'Nan cowrote Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season with Stephen King. King is Joe Hill's father.
I really disliked both of these books.
A few more tasks done...30.4 - DLM Rose's Task - One if by Land, Two if by Sea
A. One book with a natural landform or land feature in the title- mountain, valley, plain, volcano, cliff, cave, cape, canyon etc.
And
B. One book with a natural body of water in the title: ocean, pond, lake, stream, river, bay, fjord, etc.
For part A I read A Hoboken Hipster in Sherwood Forest by Marianne Mancusi and for Part B I read Rumble on the Bayou by Jana Deleon.
30.6 - Donna Jo's Task - As Suggested By Liz Brooklyn - Character References
A. For this task you need to read a book (fiction or non-fiction) AND A book or book written by an author that the first book references.
For this task I read Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels by Sarah Wendell (Goodreads author) which was hilarious! It mentioned the author J.R. Ward so I read Lover Revealed which I loved!
50 POINT MIDWAY TASK - MS ANDERSON - LUCK BE A LADY
For this task I first rolled a 2. Then rolled a second time for a 5, which adds up to lucky 7! So I read Key to Conflict (Gillian Key, ParaDoc, #1) by Talia Gryphon and Night of the Wolves by Heather Graham.
Total Points: 640/980
Books Read: 53
Tasks Completed: 37/57
10.1 - Speak (Laurie Halse Anderson) has a picture of a tree on the cover 15.3 - The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)is on page 4 of the list of books everyone should read at least once. I cannot believe I waited this long to read it! The Hunger Games should definitely be on the list. If I were to choose the number one book it would probably be To Kill A Mockingbird which has been my favourite since the first time I read it.
30.6 - House Rules (Jodi Picoult) & Flowers for Algernon (Daniel Keyes) which is referenced in the first.
50 - I rolled a 3 and a 4 which equals 7 (read whatever you'd like) so I read Eggs (Jerry Spinelli)and Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned From Judy Blume.
todays total 105 + previous total 25 = 130 pts
5.8 “Mr. Watson, Come Here, I Want To See You.” I finished Call of the Wild. Actually not what I expected, and I'm a little surprised I haven't read it before now.
Total: 15 points.
20.5 - Just Joined In - Melaine - Read Across America (and the rest of the world)
In honor of Read Across America Day 2010, which falls on Dr. Suess's birthday, read any book(s)from one of the NEA's booklists and/or by Dr. Seuss, for a total of at least 500 pages
I read:
One from the "Teacher's Top 100 Books for Children" List
Book #43 From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (1967) by E.L. Konigsburg (Hardcover, 35th Anniversary Edition, 168 pages) (AR book level 4.7 worth 5 points) This book won the 1968 Newbery Award for Best Novel. I vaguely remember reading this one as a child. It has held up over time.
And, I read three from the "Celebrity Book Picks"
Tomie DePaola, author : Hitty: Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field (Hardcover, 256 pages) (AR book level 7.8 worth 13 points) – Hitty won the 1930 Newbery Award for Best Novel. Very inventive.
And two pre-school books that I think appeal more to the adult reading the story than to the children listening to the story:
Cuba Gooding, Jr., actor: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (Paperback, 48 pages) (AR book level 3.4 worth 0.5 points)
Lucy Liu, actor: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (Hardcover, 64 pages) (AR book level 1.6 worth 0.5 points)

Finally getting to post:20.10 - Group Reads - A. Historical- The Historian
I posted a comment today.
15.3 - At Least Once in a Lifetime - I read #229 Maus. I think it is a good choice for the list. It is an interesting way to tell the story of a Polish Holocaust survivor. I agree with the top choice on the list. To Kill a Mockingbird was a great read.

I'm so glad you read the first two Connelly books. I loved them both. It's been a long time since I read them. I discovered Connelly after reading The Poet, then went back and started from the beginning. I was fortunate that "The Poet" was a stand alone novel and not a Bosch book. I ♥ Harry Bosch!
10.2 (rating with 3/4/5) The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown with a rating of 3.34.
This seems about right for me. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if I could. Not my favorite of the Robert Langdon series, but I still couldn't put this book down.

I've just finished another one. I read Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward for Task 20.6. The book is the 5th part of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood Series and has 502 pages.
The series falls into the paranormal romance genre. The book centers on the Brotherhood, a group of vampire warriors who fight the "lessers," whose sole purpose is to decimate the entire vampire population. Each novel in the series centers (generally) on one member of the Brotherhood and their romance with their significant other. The books are entertaining and quite the page turners although they can be a bit violent. The warriors tend to be intense (to put it mildly) and the books delve into issues of drug use, homosexuality, Sadomasochism, Self Mutilation, Suicide, Child Abuse, Alcoholism, Rape, and Prostitution. These warrior guys tend to be scarred and tortured in very, very non generic romance novel ways (This is coming from someone who generally reads regency romance.) In some respect, warrior's tortured pasts and serious issues makes reading about their ultimate falling in love and healing all the more poignant.
The first book in the series is called Dark Lover for anyone interested. This brings me up to 105! :-)

=9 (review)
I was going on a short air trip right before Easter and my favorite thing to do on a plane is read (unless turbulence is too much but that is another story all together) I didn't have time to stop at a library so since I was at Wal*Mart anyway I got a romance. I had been following Christina Dodd on facebook due to her wit and entertaining anecdotes, yet I had never read her. So I picked up In Bed With The Duke. I noticed that it had a "If you dont like it, money back!" guarantee, which now that I finished I am so glad it has! It was an engaging plot, but for a romance I didn't much care for the leads. They were 2 dimensional at best, and I kept reading to find out the fate of the country and not the lovers. Then there was a horrid, horrid "love" scene that made me question her definition of love and romance all together! I wouldn't recommend this book.
However, her short story in the anthology I read, was more enjoyable. But I am still not convinced, though I have heard her real strength lies in contemporaries.

Astronomy: A Beginner's Guide to the Universe), OR a biography/autobiography/memoir of an astronaut (Ex. Sky Walking: An Astronaut's Memoir).
Old Man's War by John Scalzi
30.5 - PJ Reads' Task - As Suggested By Tanja - Six Degrees of Separation
A. Read any book off your TBR
AND
B. Read a book that the author is at a maximum of six degrees of separation from the author in Part A. In your post for this task you must explain the connection in order to get credit.
A. Vicious Circle by Mike Carey
B. Midwinter by Matthew Sturges
When Mike Carey and Matthew Sturges don't write novels, they work as writers for DC Comics. Their ongoing comic book series, The Unwritten (Carey) and Jack of Fables (Sturges) for instance share the same letterer, Todd Klein. That would be one degree of separation.
20.8 - Happy Birthday To You Rachel Lee (March 24th)! - A Magical Birthday
To celebrate the birthday of this famous magician and escapologist, read a book or two (must be at least 500 pages) where magic, a magician, or an escape is a prominent feature.
Skin Hunger by Katherine Duey, 368 pages

#10.9 Read a book with the word Horse/Horses in the title OR a book that features Horses in the storyline:What Price Love? by Stephanie Laurens is a mystery (and love story!) about Thoroughbred racing in the 1830s in England. The hero is The Keeper of the Breeding Registry in Newmarket, and the heroine's brother has discovered that the man he's training racing horses for is involved in a huge fraud scheme that involves horse-substitution for purposes of fixing races. Apr 27
#25.2 Stephanie Anne: Fabulous Firsts or Superior Seconds?
I read the first two novels by Lee Child: Killing Floor Apr 2 & Die Trying Apr 26
Usually, the first book in a series is slower-going because the author is setting up the background of the characters, but Reacher's4 background was the very thing that I found appealing about Killing Floor - and the storyline was nonstop action. Die Trying began with an abduction, but it took forever for the storyline to advance beyond two abductees locked in the back of a truck being transported somewhere. The 2nd half of the book was great, but this book had the slow beginning I expected & didn't get in the first. Despite the partial letdown of the 2nd book, I will continue to read this author.

Just completed Task 15.10 by reading The Happiness Project. I really loved this book and highly recommend it to those of you who contemplate things like what it means to be happy. I liked how the author presented a lot of information from philosophers and others on the subject of happiness. I also like that this book focused on what she herself decided to change and that made it more like a memoir and less like a text book.I have many philosophies about life that I agree with, but I like the idea of a Happiness Project. This relates to my philosophy (something my dad always told me) that you have a choice about what kind of day you will have and that you can try to make it a happy day. This doesn't mean there aren't obstacles on the path, it just means you can choose to be happy (I just want to make it clear that I am NOT saying that people with depression and/or chemical imbalances are choosing to be unhappy).
Great read!

Denise, the pages read thing is totally optional; some people keep track of the number of pages they've read, some don't. The only time it matters is when a specific task require you to read at least so many pages (See tasks 15.5; 20.5; 20.8; 25.10 in this season's challenge) .

Denise, pages also count for chances to create the next season's task 20.7 as stated in the Rules of the Challenge:
"20.7 I LIKE BIG BOOKS AND I CANNOT LIE - I don't want people to purposefully avoid reading long books (especially when there are a large number of tasks) because it might prevent them from finishing the challenge. So to discourage this - if you read a book that is 500+ pages you will earn once chance for this task; if then you read another book that is 750+ pages you will earn a second chance; if you read a third book that is 1000+ pages you will earn a third and final chance for this task."

AND
B.I read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (born in Ireland).
15.10 - "Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are."
I read Walden and Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau.
I don't think I'd want to take it as far as he did for the 2 years he lived at Walden Pond, but I do relate to his belief that we are better off to simplify our lives. I think he's right when he suggests that our possessions come to own us, rather than vice versa. I also very much like his philosophy that you should think about how you're living your life, not just slide along. Finally, I have always liked his belief that you should actually take a stand on what you believe in, as when he went to jail rather than pay the poll tax, to protest slavery and the Mexican American War. Realistically, though, I'm not so sure how well a lot of his philosophies of life would have worked out if he hadn't been a relatively young guy without a wife and children!
5.10 - "The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them."

More to post:5.5 Popular Books for 2003/4/5: For year 2003, Lord John and the Private Matter 4*
This is a newer series by one of my favorite authors, Diana Gabaldon who has the enormously popular Outlander series. This is a spin-off of one of the characters in the Outlander series, Lord John Grey. Set in 1700's in both England and colonial America, this is a very good historical fiction novel.
20.9 Rebecca's Cheesy Task: The Grilled Cheese Madonna and 99 Other of the Weirdest, Wackiest, Most Famous eBay Auctions Ever 4*
This was a very entertaining book. The content was amazing, the writing a bit stilted but overall a fun read.
25.6 BJ Rose-This Month in History:
A. Pre-1950 Event: The Pawprints of History: Dogs and the Course of Human Events 4*
B. Post 1950 event from same topic: Nop's Trials 4*
On my birthday June 28 in 1859, the first dog show was held in England. Therefore, I focused my task on dogs and their history.
Pawprints was a very interesting book which showed how dogs had influenced famous people from the past and ultimately influenced history.
Nop's Trial was a novel focusing on the competitions for herding dogs. These were popular in more recent times and were called trials. Of great interest was the way the owner and the dog worked as a team to bring in the sheep that were used in the trials. A great book for animal lovers.
