Challenge takes place from 9/22-12/21
Okay, well I wasn't sure I was going to participate in this, but since a friend of mine is going to, I decided to do it! It sounds like a lot of fun, but it'll be a challenge to actually list the books I will read this fall. :D LOL! That changes all-the-time!
Anyway, want to find out what Fall Into Reading is all about? Here is the link to the main post.
My Goal:
I'd love to read all of the following books this fall, but I don't think I'll be able to read that many. LOL! So I hope to read 40 of these books - not completely in order:
Okay, I know what you might be thinking "that is a long list" and I agree with you! I just don't know how to make it any shorter! I want to read all of those books this fall, but I don't know if I'll be able to... I can normally read 10 books a month easily, but 60 books in 3 months will be a huge challenge! Hope I can at least reach 40. :D
So that is what I hope to read this fall, what about you? Please share! :)
You and Crystal convinced me, so I'm in. :) My goal is 45 books - which is WAY more than I can probably do. I just don't know how to get to some of these awesome books that I've been putting off for so long...
ReplyDeleteGlad you are participating!! I had hoped you would. :)
DeleteThat was my exact problem! There are SO many books I want to read, but I don't think I'll be able to read them all this fall. I'm going to try my best, though. :)
I hope you make your goal, Brooke! Expect tweets from me to see how you are doing. :)
Oh, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh, and I'm going to your blog post now to comment. :)
DeleteWell between you, Megan, and Brooke I decided to sign-up too! You have a great list of books! Around 20 of them I've either read or have on my fall list and then there are a bunch that I want to read but didn't put on my list! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abbi! Glad we convinced you to join! :) Hope you reach your goals! :)
DeleteNice! I like that you put the covers instead of just a list!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Melanie!
Thanks, Wendy! Yeah, I like putting covers because they are more eye-catching. :D
DeleteHow does one show the covers and not just the list? Also, are all those books "Clean" Romances?
DeleteI add the book covers to the post instead of typing up the books in a list. :) I haven't read the books, yet, so I can't say if they are all clean or not, but most/all of them are Christian fiction. :)
DeleteI will not list the books I am going to read as God leads me there. I write reviews of the books I read. I hope to read from two to three books a month. I got bogged down with one this month and gave up on it. But then the one I am reviewing now I read in three days. So I hope to read 20 to 30 books.

I hope you are able to reach your goals! I normally don't like listing the book I want to read because it is REALLY hard for me to stick to it, but I'm going to try this time. :)
DeleteGood morning, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteSome of those books happen to also be on my TBR pile
Including : Sixty Acres and a Bride, With Every Letter, A Love Surrendered, A Lasting Impression, A Light in the Window. And I've also got books by Beth Vogt, Dani Pettrey, Krista Philips, Jenny B Jones, Beth Moore and others waiting for me right now.
Yeah, how about we say a prayer for readers? So many books so little time.
I like your blog, by the way. Happy reading!
:-)
So true! So many books, so little time! :)
DeleteI'm so glad you like my blog - thank you! And I hope you enjoy the books you read. :)
Wow Melanie! That's a lot of books! There is no way I could even set that high of a goal. I have however read 8 of the books that you have in your TBR pile. I read the O'Connor series by Julie Lessman out of order. So I read all of the Winds of Change first and then started A Passion Most Pure. I didn't realize that they were all part of the same series :p
ReplyDeleteI have the 7 hour series on my Kindle and a couple of the other books you have listed to read. Good luck with your goal! I'm just trying to make my goal for Goodreads! ha! According to it I am 5 books behind on reaching 125 this year. There are just not enough hours in my day anymore since I am also trying to get Christmas gifts made. What a dilemma huh?
Julie@My Favorite Pastime
I know, it IS a lot of books.... I'm really hoping I'll be able to read 40 of them. :) I hope you will be able to reach your Goodreads goal this year... there are still 3 months left to get caught up. :)
DeleteThanks for commenting!
10 books a month? Melanie, you're reading voracity astonishes me! Oh, and I LOVED Sneak by Evan Angler!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you loved Sneak! :) I used to not be able to read that much a month, but for some reason, lately I have been. :)
DeleteOoh! Your list looks great! I hope you're able to reach your goal :D
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping in touch through twitter to see how you're doing!
Thanks, Crystal! I'll be doing the same... expect some tweets from me! :D
DeleteAwesome challenge, thanks for letting us know about it! Great book choices too, can't wait to hear what you think of them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn! :D
DeleteI signed up too, though my list is smaller than yours.
ReplyDeleteGlad you signed up! I believe I commented on your post earlier. :)
DeleteWhoo wee - that is a huge list. Kick this challenge's booty. Now I am off to find more info on Kill Shot :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! It IS a huge list - I hope I can read most of them. :) Thanks for commenting!
DeleteWhat a list! I'm impressed with your goal of reading forty books in these thirteen weeks. I hope you make your goal.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melinda! I hope I can reach my goal, too. :)
DeleteOoh! There are so many great books on your list. You're in for some serious fun. I hope you have a blast as you read like the wind.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keli! So far, I'm enjoying the books I'm reading. :)
DeleteUgh. When I see all your pictures, I just have to comment and give more specific thoughts. So here we go. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved "A Hope Undaunted" by Julie Lessman! Enjoyed "A Heart Revealed" too, but not as much. Both had a little too much...description in some parts -- while not SUPER descriptive, still very passionate. A bit more than I would have liked. So I don't whole-heartedly recommend them, but they're very good. :)
Can't wait to read Sarah Sundin's "With Every Letter"! Loved her Wings of Glory books...I've read #1 and #3.
"Echoes of Titanic," great one. :)
Read half of "A Lasting Impression" and wasn't able to finish, though I really wanted to. Not the books fault, just a family thing. BUT the part I read was awesome! And I love the cover.
Can't wait to read "Trinity" by Ronie Kendig, it looks great!
And just finished "When a Heart Stops" by Lynette Eason. That's an awesome one.
Love the covers on "Lady Anne's Quest" and "The Messenger." Both on my to-read list!
Ah. That's good. Very good. Again, can't wait for your reviews!
Thank you, Charity! I know what you're talking about with the "passion" in Julie Lessman's books - that is why I only recommend them for mature readers who don't mind some "passion" in books. :)
DeleteThanks for this great comment - I agree with most of what you said! I can hardly wait to read Trinity and When a Heart Stops... both sound like they are going to be FANTASTIC books. :)
So glad you decided to join Fall Into Reading after all. :) I've seen the 7 Hours series and the Travis Thrasher series on a few blogs now...I really need to look into them. Thanks again for being part of the challenge. Enjoy your fall reading! Looks like you'll be busy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katrina, for hosting this challenge and for stopping by to comment. :)
DeleteI'm not sure who Julie Lessman is but I have to look her up! I love the covers of her books. Happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you like Julie's books if you decide to read them. :)
