Fall into Reading Wrap-Up 2008
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl and tagged with Lists, Reading on December 20, 2008It’s funny to me to think that this is the last day of fall. In my mind, fall ended weeks ago. Regardless, this is the last day of the Fall Into Reading challenge on Callapidder Days.
I ended up reading a whole lot more this fall than I expected to. I blew my list out of the water! Specifically, these are the books that I read that were on my challenge list. All the links are to my reviews.
1. East of Eden – John Steinbeck
2. The Mystery of Breathing – Perri Klass
3. Pavilion of Women – Pearl Buck
4. Rush Home Road – Lori Lansens
5. By George – Wesley Stace
6. Booth’s Sister – Jane Singer
7. Lady Susan – Jane Austen
8. The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde
9. Dream in Color – Loretta and Linda Sanchez
10. Glass Castle – Jeannette Wells
11. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
12. Running Scared – Ed Welch
13. Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life – Don Whitney
14. Trusting God – Jerry Bridges
15. Greater Than You Think – Thomas D. Williams
There were two books on my list that I did not read:
1. The Observation – Jane Harris – We ended up canceling the discussion of this book this month.
2. They Were Single Too – David Hoffeditz – I’m almost done with it, though.
These were greatly outnumbered by the books that weren’t on my list that I read:
1. Art of Personal Evangelism – Will McRaney
2. Introduction to Personal Evangelism – Alan Reid
3. Suffering and the Sovereignty of God – John Piper and Justin Taylor
4. Dark Pursuit – Brandilyn Collins
5. Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
6. Complete Evangelism Guidebook – Scott Dawson
7. Frankenstein – Mary Shelley
8. My Sister’s Keeper – Jodi Piccoult
9. Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini
