Good update, you're doing great on this challenge, Dianne :) I love when you do the reviews/blurbs!
Hope you read Pride & Prejudice soon, it's one of my favorite movies :)
Happy Reading!
Ha--this is funny. When I posted a review recently and assessed my list, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm still not sure I'll finish, but I'm doing okay (and reading one now that's not on the list!).
I read the Life You've Always Wanted a while back in a small group. I enjoyed it.
I love to make lists, too!
I read Bridge to Terabithia earlier this year as well. Did you like it? I thought it was pretty good. Have you seen the movie yet? I haven't but probably will when it comes out on DVD.
I kept my list shorter this time and still found myself reading stuff that wasn't on there! Trying to get back on track now.
Did you like Bridge to Terabithia? Seems like I might have read it years ago for something in college but remember nothing about it.
That's funny! But I say go with the flow. I had to do that in the fall challenge when books I'd had on hold for a long time at the library suddenly showed up.
Good for you for adjusting your list to fit your circumstances - I whole-heartedly approve! I have Life You've Always Wanted if you want to borrow it from me. I haven't read it yet, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, so you're welcome to have at it first. :)
