Wrapping Up What's In a Name 4



This reading challenge was a lot of fun and it's one I wish I had found before this year.  I'm still speculating about my reading (and book buying) habits for next year, but I hope it will work out where I can do this challenge again.  It will all depend on what the specifications are for the next one.  Below is a list of the titles I read and which category they went into.  You can click on the title to link to my review.

Girl, you are so organized. I could never, ever do that...I'm too much of a scatterbrained bookslut. I get so sidetracked. I was hunting for a poetry book this morning by William Carlos Williams and looked at a book review at Amazon on "The Snowman" and ended up buying 4 books by the same author because it's a series. OY! (The author is Jo Nesbo and he's been compared to Stieg Larsson of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" fame).

My relatives call me a tightwad but I tell them I save money on everything else so I can spend it all on books. LOL! Happy Reading!

PS: I just read an awesome psychological thriller by Kate White, "The Sixes". It comes out in August. I couldn't put it down.

Good challenge, great titles. I'm grinning because I just finished the "Snowman" that Marion comments above on, and started "The Sixes". Great minds.

Great choices Kelly. I know for me coming up with appropriate titles was half the fun of this challenge.

These reading challenges sound like so much fun. I really should have a library card...

I just finished this challenge up too. I should probably post about it. I love finding the books for it.
