Spring Reading Thing
First Progress Report

Since we're one-third of the way through spring, I thought I'd make a progress report. Of the 25 books I previously listed, I've read just four - although I am almost finished with another. I've also read a book for one of the five "wild card" spots. If I'm really going to read 30 books by June 21, I'm going to have to pick up the pace. How are you doing on your list?

  • Chris Bohjalian - The Double Bind (2007)

  1. Wow, you chose 30 books! That's a lot. I only chose to read 7, still have 4 to go. I have Listen for Lions sitting on my desk. It looks so good, but I have so many others listed for challenges that I don't know when I'll get to it.

    It's fun to look at a reader's list and see names like Gerald Lund.

  2. Are you crazy? I only chose to read 4 books for this challenge, and I'm well on the way to completing it, but some of the other challenges are keeping me busy...
