Well I did not know I read so little books starting with A.
I've decided to jump onto the challenge wagon as well, and this seems like a nice one to begin with. I find myself constantly re-reading the same old books over and over again, and I'm not making any progress with my TBR pile (which, in case anybody's interested, is almost 9000 books long).
So it's off to a fresh start, and use challenges to get that TBR pile down a bit.
Here goes:
S: The Secret by Julie Garwood
A: Amy Girl by Bari Wood
B: Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel
R: Ransom by Julie Garwood
I: I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti
N: Next by Michael Crichton (read 06/07/2014)
A: All Fall Down by John Saul (read 29/06/2014)
V: Das vergessene Pergament by Phillip Vandenberg
A: Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read
N: Needful Things by Stephen King (read 12/07/2014)
G: Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
O: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (read 28/06/2014)
E: Emma by Jane Austen
T: Temple by Matthew Reilly
H: Heidi by Johanna Spyri (read 08/07/2014)
E: The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
M: Miss Purdy's Class by Annie Murray (read 26/06/2014)
Read: 6/17 (status 12/07/2014)

Again those O's got me messed up. 1984, I've heard about it and not all I heard was good. I'm not a fan of politics...at all. I don't even watch the news because when I do, I see destruction everywhere. I'm going to give it a try though. The others were all on my TBR anyway.
