2010 Reading Challenge - week 36

I finished 3 books for this challenge this week. (I also read a few non-challenge books.) They were:

• A Cut Above by Ginny Aiken (The Shop-Til-U-Drop Collection #3)
• The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz
• Genoa Bay by Bette Nordberg

That takes me to 131 out of 160 and almost 82% complete.

I'm currently reading:

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• Rise and Shine by Liz Curtis Higgs
• Becoming a Woman of Simplicity by Cynthia Heald
• A Very Private Grave by Donna Fletcher Crow (look for a review in a few weeks)

2010 Reading Challenge - week 35

3 books for me this week.

I have to say that you really should be careful what you read and watch together. Not that you actually do both activities at once (well, maybe some people do), but within a particular time-frame.

So, now you're either curious or just think I'm crazy (or both). But I'm going to keep you in suspense just a little longer.

The 3 books were:

• Coming Attractions by Robin Jones Gunn (Katie Weldon #3)
• Priced to Move by Ginny Aiken (Shop-Til-U-Drop Collection #1)
• A Steal of a Deal by Ginny Aiken (Shop-Til-U-Drop Collection #2)

What I think you shouldn't read and watch together are the Shop-Til-U-Drop Collection and Gilmore Girls. I've been watching season 4, and I have to say that although they aren't really similar, they are both crazy! I end up with crazy dreams after watching Gilmore Girls, but they have gotten even crazier after the combination of both.

Yes, I'm guessing that you think I'm completely crazy.

And now for the books I'm currently reading:

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz
• A Cut Above by Ginny Aiken (Shop-Til-U-Drop Collection #3)

Teaser Tuesdays - August 31

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz

'Most of all, we need to trust God to build our romantic relationships. And we need him not only as the architect but as a day-to-day presence in both members' lives. Great advice comes from Psalm 127:1: "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain."'

2010 Reading Challenge - week 34

Just 2 for me this week. There has been way to many other things to do.

However, I am getting close to my target. I have read 125 out of 160 books, taking me to 78%!! Just 35 more books to read for the year. I think I can manage that!

So the 2 for this week were:

• Mainely Mysteries by Susan Page Davis and Megan Elaine Davis
• Wildflower Bride by Mary Connealy (#3 Montana Marriages)

I'm still reading:

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz
  

2010 Reading Challenge - week 33

Ok, I'm claiming 4 books for this week.

Some of you may say I'm cheating a little when you find out what the 4th one is, but I don't think so.

So they are:

• The Crimson Cipher by Susan Page Davis
• Finding God In Hidden Places by Joni Eareckson Tada
• It Had to Be You by Janice Thompson
• Jennifer by Dee Henderson

Ok, the last one is actually a short story that is part of the O'Malley series. It slots in just before the start of The Negotiator, and is Jennifer's story, or at least the start of it. Her story is told throughout the rest of the series. I always thought she got left out, so I'm glad Dee has made this available. It is only available on her website though. If you would like to read it for yourself, check it out here.

And finally, I am currently reading:

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz
• Mainely Mysteries by Susan Page Davis and Megan Elaine Davis (3 in 1)

2010 Reading Challenge - week 32

Ok, so last week I made a slight mistake and included a book in my currently reading list that can't actually be included in this challenge, but don't worry I haven't actually included it in the count.

So, I'm sad to say that for this challenge I only finished one book this week.

And that was:

• A Father for Zach by Irene Hannon

I'm currently reading:

• More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada
• Finding God in Hidden Places by Joni Eareckson Tada
• The UnGuide to Dating by Camerin Courtney and Todd Hertz
• The Crimson Cipher by Susan Page Davis
