It's spring, which means it's time for Katrina's Spring Reading Thing! To join in, read the rules and sign up at Callapidder Days.
Here is my tentative list, but I hope to stick with it. On the other hand, sometimes I learn about new books and I just can't wait to read them. So I'm mostly committing to a specific number of books. Here's what I'm hoping to read.
Spring Reading Thing List (Proposed Reading)
1. On Agate Hill by Lee Smith
2. The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
3. Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea
4. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
5. The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
6. Needle in the Right Hand of God by R. Howard Bloch
7. Dear Julia by Amy Bronwen Zemser
8. My Man Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
9. Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement
10. The Third Day: The Frost by John Marsden
It's not too late to join in the fun!
LOVED The English Patient. It's an amazing book.
