September 22 - December 20
Hosted by Katrina at Callapiddar Days
I'm excited to focus on reading for the next thirteen weeks while I enjoy the changing seasons! Here's my list - an eclectic mix of twenty-six books from my nearly-endless to-read list, an average of two books for each week of the challenge:

• Any Bitter Thing by Monica Wood


• Behind You by Jacqueline Woodson


• The Compound by S.A. Bodeen


• The Curse of the Good Girl by Rachel Simmons


• Deception by Jonathan Kellerman


• The Declaration by Gemma Malley


• Freefall by Mindi Scott


• Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak


• Girl, Stolen by April Henry


• Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins


• The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa


• I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak


• If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson


• The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver


• Losing Faith by Denise Jaden


• Matched by Ally Condie


• Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson


• The Maze Runner by James Dashner


• A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812 by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich


• The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd


• The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney


• No Going Back by Jonathan Langford


• The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe


• A Quiet Belief in Angels by R.J. Ellory


• Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan


• The Year That Follows by Scott Lasser

Among these titles are my picks for the YA-D2 challenge, some of the current Salt Lake County Reader's Choice nominees, the Book Buddies selections for November and December, and some of The Contemps. Dewey's Read-a-Thon occurs during this challenge - on October 9 - so I hope to get several of the books on my list read that day.
