Audio Book Challenge - Goal: 20 books. Completed: 11 books. I can't believe I'm getting ready for the 12th book of the Wheel of Time! This series has been a constant presence in my car since January. (You haven't seen any reviews/reports yet because I'm waiting to finish the whole series first.)
Support Your Local Library Challenge - Goal: 50 books. Completed: 27 books. I'm in love with the library!
Books I'm reading right now:
Star Trek by Alan Dean Foster - Thanks to a tip from my friend Heather, I get to listen to Zachary Quinto perform this book based on the new movie. It's fantastic!!
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver - a Bible Study assignment.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque - Recommended by one of my former students who couldn't believe I hadn't read it when I was in high school. It's supposedly one of the most loved war novels of all time.
Coming up:
The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan - then I'll be officially caught up!
The Eleventh Commandment by Jeffrey Archer - a thriller.
A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael by Elisabeth Elliot - from my TBR list
In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer by Irene Opdyke - a book club assignment
There are seven books I have read but haven't blogged about yet, but that's not too bad. I'll work on remedying that situation soon. Is there anything I should add to my list?
