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:

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)

The 4-Month Challenge
I saw this challenge back several months ago, and it looked pretty interesting. I lucked out tonight when I saw sign-up time for it has rolled around again. There's probably a couple of these that I don't have a chance at accomplishing, but I think I've got a pretty good shot for most of the choices. The dates for the challenge are 3/1/10 through 6/30/10, and I love that these books can be used for the other challenges I'm working on this year. :o)
Here are the challenges from She Read a Book:
