The 4 Month Reading Challenge (Part 2 for me)

You know, I think I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to reading challenges. I saw today that the next 4 month reading challenge has been issued, so I plan to "challenge" myself yet again. :o) Here's a list of what I'm aiming to read between July and October:

Read a book with a one word title - Predator by Terri Blackstock--7/24/2010

Read a book by an author born in July, August, September or October - The Sister Wife by Diane Noble--7/6/10 (Author's birthday is July 9)

I didn't do too bad, I guess, on my last attempt at this, scoring 165 points. Coulda done better, but some of the book choices on the list just didn't seem to make it into my hands. This round, though, seems right up my alley because there are several Christian fiction options....woohoo!

So, here we go again! :o)
