In this case though, all of the books I'm reading are books I was already planning to read during the designated time and so it's really not like I'm taking on extra work. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-33034464284705357552007-08-12T19:06:00.000-07:002007-08-12T19:06:00.000-07:00Oh Wow!

Thank you for the warning! <BR/><BR/>I hope you will enjoy Stardust if you do decide to read it down the road. I enjoyed it quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>Callista - Thank you for hosting the challenge! Yes, Stardust is a book by Neil Gaiman. It's a very good book. :-)<BR/><BR/>Booklogged - Being as I'm a movie fan and a reader, this one makes perfect sense for me to do. :-)<BR/><BR/>Lately it seems like there's quite a few books I've read or want to read being made into movies . . .

I avoid challenges if it looks like I have to pick a whole new set of books I wasn't planning on reading. This was my first challenge where I went to my stack (of 20!) books and picked out 3 I could use. <BR/>I hope you like <I>Bridge to Terabithia</I>, it broke my heart.

A couple of bloggers read it and convinced me it was worth reading. I'm really looking forward to reading all three books for this one.<BR/><BR/>Emily - I kind of knew a movie was being made, but I had no idea it was so close to being released. I guess November isn't really close, but closer than I would have guessed. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-16613709874103133402007-08-10T18:33:00.000-07:002007-08-10T18:33:00.000-07:00I must live in a bubble.

I need to read some more Jane Austin as well and the film of Notes on a Scandal was great (I called my mum today and she was watching it randomly).

I noticed you are planning to read Mansfield Park for this challenge as well. Got to fit in Jane Austen somewhere!<BR/><BR/>Heather - I have discovered I read well with a set list (of my choosing). It kind of takes the "what to read next" dilemma out of my hands. LOL I only select books for the challenges that I really do want to read, which makes it pretty easy to stick to the plan.<BR/><BR/>Amy - You have until November to read The Kite Runner, so there is a little time. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-23041987994413145732007-08-10T08:38:00.000-07:002007-08-10T08:38:00.000-07:00I haven't even read Stardust and The Kite Runner y...I haven't even read Stardust and The Kite Runner yet and they are already being made into movies. <BR/>I have the Kite Runner requested from the library but I'd better get a move on!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134658141375355475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-11455946106126973152007-08-10T07:27:00.000-07:002007-08-10T07:27:00.000-07:00I'm tempted to try some of the challenges, but I f...I'm tempted to try some of the challenges, but I fear that the moment I try to pin down some sort of order to what I plan to read beyond the next 4 or 5 books, all my carefully-laid plans will crumble to naught. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-64455458380334001662007-08-10T07:00:00.000-07:002007-08-10T07:00:00.000-07:00You lucky thing - about to read Persuasion!
