Kelsey’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

8)The Constant Princess by Phillipa Gregory

(Needed to get my chick lit fix.)

9)The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

Whew! It's almost April and I'm not so sure I'm going to be able to get to 50 books! :)

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I'm a big cheerleading fan....

7) Cheer! Three Teams on a Quest for College Cheerleadings Ultimate Prize by Kate Torgovnick

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only person in the world who isn't in love with this book. It had some moments but I was so bored! So, so bored.

6)Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo

It took a little while to get into, but so worth it. Russo is amazing.

I read the Kite Runner and I saw a special screening of the movie a while back. I thought it was amazing. The Namesake is also an incredible book made into a great movie.

I've been meaning to read Shadow of the Wind for years now. It was so enjoyable to read. Like The Da Vinci Code meets Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I use to organize two book clubs but found I couldn't fit them into my busy schedule anymore. I just graduated and FINALLY have time to read what I want.

Here is what I have so far...

1) Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
2) Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
3) The Year of Endless Sorrows by Adam Rapp
4) Run by Ann Patchett
5)The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I have a 2 hour commute, twice a day so 50 books in a year should hopefully be doable.

Look forward to seeing what everyone is reading!
