Cutesybutton a.k.a. Alison's reading challenge of 2010

[Alison]

Testing, testing...hoping this works out and I manage to read more this year! I'm a stay at home mom with nothing much to do other than housework (boring), changing dirty diapers (stinky), and playing with my lil Goober (fun!). This is also the very first time I've posted something on Goodreads.

Thus far, I have read:

January - #1 Color of Magic, #2 Light Fantastic, and #3 Equal Rites, all by Terry Pratchett and all on my Pocket PC phone I got for Christmas.


#4 Mafia to Mormon


February - #5 Emma by Jane Austen

March - #6 Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl

I need to get cracking and speed it up a little if I really am going to make it!

March thus far - #7 Spell of the Winter Wizard (silly "choose your own adventure" book)

#8 Number the Stars by Louis Lowry


The book club I just joined with my friend will be reading juvenile/elementary age books to discuss in April. I'll try to only read a few since they're such quick reads and then choose another challenging read. On to #9!

Still marching through books in March-

#9 Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan; another young adult read but quite good.

#10 The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder; an alright young reader book.

#11 The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin; young reader mystery, similar to Clue but for kids and so much fun to read!

#12 The Ten Cow Wives Club by Joni Hilton; a fun LDS ladies read with lots of humor and touching moments.

#13 Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume; keep promising myself no more kids reads but I just couldn't help it when I found this at the goodwill store. I read it aloud to my husband and daughter and they both enjoyed it as well as me.
