Fall Into Reading 2011

Katrina over at Callapidder Days is hosting the Fall Into Reading Challenge. The challenge is to pick books you would like to read this fall and then keep a record of how you do. The challenge runs from September 23 to December 21. If you’d like to join, head over here to sign up.

Here’s my list as of now:

  1. The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
  2. Pumpkin Roll by Josi S. Kilpack
  3. A Lawman’s Christmas by Linda Lael Miller
  4. Paris Noire by Francine Thomas Howard
  5. Until There Was You by Kristan Higgins
  6. It’s a Waverly Life by Maria Murnane
  7. Inseparable by Dora Heldt
  8. The Nine Lives of Christmas by Sheila Roberts
  9. True Colors by Kristin Hannah
  10. Larceny & Lace by Annette Blair
  11. Must Love Dogs by Claire Cook
  12. Peony in Love by Lisa See
  13. Shanghai Girls by Lisa See
  14. The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig
  15. Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson
  16. The Diva Haunts the House by Krista Davis

  22. Angel Lane by Sheila Roberts
  23. Night Road by Kristin Hannah
  24. An O’Brien Family Christmas by Sherryl Woods
  25. 1225 Christmas Tree Lane by Debbie Macomber

This is a combination of books I need to review as well as books I have on my TBR pile. Most of these books were strategically picked so that I can complete all the other reading challenges I am participating in. I think I should be able to get through all these, plus a few others.

Wish me luck! Let me know if you are joining so I can see your list!

    Great list – I'd love to read a lot of these, especially the Lisa See books, I really enjoyed Snowflower and the Secret Fan and keep meaning to read her other books. Good luck with your challenge!

    I've heard of only a few of these since I usually have my head in the YA blogosphere, but I do love Kristin Hannah! Good luck on your challenge and thanks for stopping by Almost Grown-up!

    Looks great, Kristin! I love how you incorporated some fun seasonable books. I always forget to do that! Thanks for being part of FIR '11!

    This is an amazing list–and you read even more than I do! I just today finished #92 of 2011, and you're well over 100! 🙂

    Wow, quite a long list! And I haven't heard of any of them! I wish you well in your reading.

    That is quite the list. I also haven't heard of any of them though. That is the problem with these challenges, I end up finding more books to read.
    enjoy your fall reading

    Awesome list. I look forward to reading your opinion of some of them so that I can add more to my addiction.

    Thanks for stopping by! I also love the Shopaholic books and so far am loving Mini Shopaholic! I haven't heard of any of the books on your list (shows me just how little I get out!) so I definitely want to look further into them to put a few on my TBR list! Thanks for sharing!

    Looks like a good list. I've read a handful and now may have to read a few more of these to my own "tbr" list. Agghhh. I've got too many already. 🙂
    Happy Reading!

    These look like some fun reads for the fall. Perfect to curl up with a hot chocolate, pretzels and M&Ms, and a cozy afghan!

    That is a LOT of books! But if you live up to your blog name, it will be easy! I have never read any James Patterson until this week at the lake. I picked up one that someone had left behind and could not put it down. I'm heading to my library today to see if I can find it since I left it behind. If not, I will definitely be buying it. Enjoy all your reads!

    I tried to pick a few to meet other challenges as well, although I didn't do a lot of challenges this year. I hope you enjoy your reading this fall!

    I have 25 books on my list too! I've never read any of the books you listed, but there are lots of interesting titles there. Love the Christmas books!
