This challenge really worked out well for me this year. I am so glad I finally read the first four books on my list, especially being that I put them off for years and years. This challenge was the impetus to pick them up and all four were very good reads! I had some others that I wasn't too thrilled with, but no real duds. Hooray!
Thank you 3M from 1morechapter for hosting this challenge.

Okay, that's it...I just can't take this anymore! If you finish up the A-Z challenge before the end of the month, I may just have to quit coming over here! :o) You know I'm kidding, of course!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Joy!
Debi ~ I won't be finishing the A ~ Z Challenge for quite a while, so the coast is clear - you can drop by as often as you like. :)
ReplyDeleteWow where do you find the time?!?
ReplyDeleteRhinoa ~ My current job allows me to listen while I work, so many of my "reads" have been on my iPod. :) The bad part in that is I "read" during the day, so I don't pick up an actual book as much in the evenings. :( There seems to be a flip-side to everything.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the challenge, Joy!!
ReplyDelete3M ~ I really enjoyed it. It was the push I needed to read books I've wanted to read for a long time. Thanks again for hosting.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of great choices. I'll have to check out the Nazi Officer's wife.
ReplyDeleteChain Reader ~ It was difficult to put down. I highly recommend it if you like memoirs of that timeframe.
