Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments I forgot I signed up for this. Okay, I'm going to look through my list of books read so far this year and see how many I can fill in this list.


So...I only have eight left!


message 10: by Lea Ann (new)

Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments Knocked another one off this challenge. I read Curiosity by Gary Blackwood. It was in a stack of books I pulled for my class to preview and the cover kept catching my eye as it was passed around the room. It's historical fiction. Good, not great.


message 11: by Lea Ann (new)

Lea Ann (buntingla) | 765 comments I inadvertently knocked another one off this list - a book set in summer. Belly Up by Stuart Gibbs met that requirement for me. Yippee!
