The Host: orannia at Walkabout
The challenge: Read ONE novel over 500 pages that you've been wanting to read.
1. It is hosted by my adorable blogging friend, orannia.
2. I only have to read ONE book by December 31, 2010 to complete the challenge.
3. I have had Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling on my nightstand for over two years and am finally going to read it this year. My 10 year old daughter read it in about 36 hours over the Christmas break. Surely I can read it within a few days. Maybe.

ReplyDelete(((Christine))) Thank you so much! I'm so glad you joined :)
I keep staring at my copy of Outlander. Is this the year I finally read it? I may consider joining this one.
ReplyDelete(((orannia))) You're welcome. :)
ReplyDeletePhyl, definitely join! There's a nice little group doing this one together and I think Outlander is the book choice of a few people.
