10. Secrets of a Civil War Submarine (this should actually be like #7 but I forgot about it!)
Good job, so far! I'm doing the ABC Author/Titles challenges, too. I just need to post them in my actual challenge topics.
13. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
19. The Wordy Shipmates20. The Shack
21. Loch Ness and Raining Frogs (Something like that!)
23. The Drunkard's Walk (Leonard Mlodinow)
24. Shadow of the Wind (LOVE IT! First to make my "Best of '09" list).
26. Watchers27. Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked, and Spewed
So, between scrapbooking, a summer semester teaching at TU starting, writing an article for a respiratory magazine, Lucy having surgery, crazy work, and having a 2 1/2 year old, I've gotten virtually no reading done since April (and I don't think too much in April, either). I've had Like water for Chocolate in my bag for weeks...and it's under 300 pages and a super easy read (though a very odd book). If I don't pick up my pace I'll never make it to 100!!!
31. Like Water for Chocolate32. Last Man Standing
33. Revenge of the Spellmans
34. The Yiddish Policeman's Union35. Outliers
36. Living Dead in Dallas37. Finger-Lickin Fifteen
39. The Facts Behind the Helsinki Recomatos.
Soooo bad!! I think I've only gotten one book done this month and it's the 22nd! :-(
I switched myself to 70. I feel your pain. I'd like to think that since I'm off work for a month coming up that I'll get a lot of reading done. Nope. I'll be playing with Chris all day! The only time I actually get any reading done is if I'm on the train!
41. Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven
43. Treasure Island (first classic in like 6+ months!)
48. The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
49. Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
1. The Old Man and the Sea
