If
you'd like to pledge a number of books to read, feel free - its not
required. This is all for fun.
I'll update the list each Monday and,
if you all want, can keep a running list of what we're all reading so

Re: ***Summer Reading Challenge Check In***
I finished up book number 2 and am working on book 3: "The Cabinent of Curiosities" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
I really enjoyed the end of Reliquary (by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child), it was very suspensful and I was completely surprised when the evil mastermind was revealed (although I was angry at myself for not guessing it sooner.) I was a well executed mystery with pleanty of excitement.

I'm still reading Committed but I am thinking of giving up. It is PAINFULLY slow and boring. It should have been titled, "A History of Love and Marriage." I'm 4 or 5 chapters in and that's all it's been so far. While interesting in some aspects, it's not very autobiographical like her first book was.
So I'm also reading Love in the Time of Cholera. I really like it and am finding myself picking it up more often than Committed.
I've finished all 4 of the Twilight series. I loved the first 3 and couldn't put them down, but I was totally let down with the 4th
Oh well! I'm still really glad I read them and know what happens!!
There are several more books I want to read, so I'll pledge 3 more. I'm not reading anything right now, but I'll keep you posted!
I just finished Wicked Appeite by Janet Evanovich so 8/15 done!
I have no idea what I'm going to read next...off to see what I've got.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Stieg Larson)
The Clan of the Cave Bear (Jean Auel)
The Valley of the Horses (Jean Auel)
A Change of Heart (Candice Hern)
A Proper Companion (Candice Hern)
So, that's 10 out of 10. :-)
Right now I'm working on The Mammoth Hunters by Jean Auel and The Book of Lost Things.
stephy1221 - 4 out of 5 (An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin)
It was okay. People who like art would appreciate it more I think. Now I have to figure out what is next. I have nothing lined up.
