Fall is in the air. At least for anyone not here in Southern California. And that means it is time for the Fall into Reading challenge. (Follow the link to read more about this fun excuse to read books).
So, here are the books I am hoping to read. Okay, so it's an overly ambitious list, especially with starting up Crossfit again. But we'll see how far I can get, right?
Books left over from my Spring Reading Thing 2009 list:
Exposure by Brandilyn Collins
Double Minds by Terri Blackstock
A Date You Can't Refuse by Harley Jane Kozak
Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle

That's 27 books, one less than I attempted in the spring. Back then, I was reading on my lunch hour, so this will be a lot less. And the kid's books I have on my list are longer than the ones I had last time, too. We'll see how I do, I guess.
UPDATE:
Because 27 books just wasn't enough, I've come across too more I have to add.
Heat Wave by Richard Castle
NERDS by Michael Buckley

Hello from a fellow southern Californian (well...ex-). Your list is like mine - LONG. Not sure what I was thinking. Good luck with yours!
Wow - what an exciting list of books. I like Terri Blackstock and Brandilyn Collins. Homicide in Hardcover is good. Will have to come back and check out all the other books. Authors I heard about but haven't read yet. My post is
up now.
As usual, you've caused me to add to my own TBR list. I didn't know about Plum Pudding Murder or The Chocolate Cupid Killing.
Offworld is on my wish list -- looks really good!
Thanks for joining in the challenge fun again, Mark!
Wow, looks like lots of great reading is in store for you this fall! Happy reading.
I only know a few of these authors - Patterson and Gilman - enjoyed them both! Good luck with the challenge!
The Mrs. Pollifax books are so much fun to read! I don't think I've found one yet that I didn't enjoy. Good luck with the challenge!
Hello Mark,
You have a very impressive list.
I find good books on everyone post.
I have a Terri Blackstock book I need to finish `Miracles` Perhaps that will be on my Spring list.
I have a long list, I am already having to revise.
Joyful
