Something About Me Challenge Wrap Up

Challenge Wrap Up

Thank you to Lisa at Breaking the Fourth Wall for hosting this challenge! My original reading list consisted of more books, but the rules state that participants must complete five (5) books at a minimum…and I have done that, so I’m taking credit for a finish on this one. Here are the books I read:

1. The Country of the Pointed Firs, by Sarah Orne Jewett (Completed August 26, 2007; read a review here)
2. The Echo Maker, by Richard Powers (Completed September 6, 2007; read a review here)
3. East of Eden, by John Steinbeck (Completed October 12, 2007; read a review here)
4. A Thousand Splendid Suns (Completed December 8, 2007; read a review here)
5. I Am The Messenger, by Markus Zusak (Completed December 17, 2007; read a review here)

My favorites were East of Eden AND A Thousand Splendid Suns – both of which I rated 5/5. There was not a “dud” in the bunch!

I still want to read many of the books on my original posting for this challenge…and will continue ‘checking them off’ as we move into 2008. Lisa is keeping the Something About Me Challenge blog open so I’ll be posting reviews there as well.
