Well, I am nearly done with my first random read for this challenge: Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. I hope to get it finished by Friday night so that I can start the Read-A-Thon with a fresh book…so look for my review of Erdrich’s book by then (I am enjoying it!).

So it is time to choose my next random read – and just because I felt like it, I picked the next two. I used Random.org and selected two numbers out of a possible 50. Then I went to my stacks and began counting down until I hit each number.  Using this method, here are the next two books for the challenge:

#33 – Joe Jones by Anne Lamott (a book that has been gathering dust for about a year now)

AND

#40 - The Spectator Bird by Wallace Stegner

Have you read either of these? I am looking forward to cracking them open!

August 1, 2009 – July 31, 2010
