Summer Reading List Redux

Earlier this summer I made my reading list for the season. Let's see how I did...

Fiction Choices:

  • This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald √
  • Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon -- in progress
  • Highlander Unbound by Julia London √
  • Highlander in Disguise by Julia London (DNF)
  • Highlander in Love by Julia London (DNF)
  • Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie by Kate Chopin √
  • The Lost Soul by Gabriella Pierce √
  • The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern √
  • The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke √
  • Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple √
  • Steamlust by Kristina Wright (DNF)
  • Witches by Paula Guran √
  • Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore √
  • The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins √

Nonfiction Choices:

  • The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo √
  • Bait and Switch by Barbara Ehrenreich √
  • The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin √
  • The F Word by Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner √
  • The Art of Steampunk by Art Donovan √

Holy Cow! I finished almost every single one of the books that I listed. I did have some DNFs, but that's because I just wasn't into the story or characters at all. I knocked out some great reads this summer and went beyond this list. I love being able to check items off my list. I may just have to make a winter challenge in a few months.
