2009: Challenges – Spring Reading Thing 2009
It’s that time again! The Spring Reading Thing 2009 kicks off on March 20. Challenges where I need to make up a list beforehand are harder for me to complete, so I’m thinking small… 12 books. This leaves me enough wiggle room for those whims that I feel I must satisfy. These books are a combination of review books, stuff that’s been on my shelf for a while, and book club reads.

Watch out for the Lippman book — I got my sister and mother hooked on the series this winter, and they couldn’t read anything else till they were all caught up!
Love the covers.. I didn’t make up my list yet
Great list – I keep meaning to start on the J.A. Konrath series, but haven’t managed to yet – maybe I finally will. Enjoy your reading.
I love that you shared the covers! The Uncommon Reader is on my TBR list… and I love Laura Lippman’s novels. Thanks for sharing!
I finished “The Uncommon Reader” earlier this year. It’s a quick read and I enjoyed the original story line.
What a great site!! How do you count the words read??
My husband really enjoys David Baldacci and I think he’ll be reading First Family this spring as well. Thanks for being part of the challenge!
I hope to read The Masque of the Black Tulip too.
Looks like a great list. I love that you put all of the covers on there
Lots of new authors there (to me). Hope you find some good winners!
Very nice list. All the participants have me thinking that I want to join in this challenge. I will have to check it out!
Love the Pink Carnation series! Happy Reading.
Great list! Happy reading!
i love balducci, and i love your blog.
enjoy the callapidder challenge.
I haven’t read any of them, so I’ll be interested in your review of them!
Happy reading!
I love that you added the covers the way you did! I always forget about it and feel like a dork doing it after everyone else.
I don’t think I’ve heard of any of those authors.
Blessings,
