Fall Into Reading 2011 Wrap-Up

I can't believe this challenge is already over. It feels like I just started it! Lol. Overall I did pretty well. I didn't finish all the books I had on my original list, but I was still successful in completing almost half of my list! So lets get to the books I finished before I start talking some more.

I'll post links to the reviews, though I haven't posted a few reviews yet so I'll have to come back and add those links later.

Books I finished:

• Firelight by Sophie Jordan
• Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
• Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover by Ally Carter
• The Host by Stephenie Meyer
• Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
• Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
• Crossed by Ally Condie

So around the beginning of November I actually posted an update stating I was taking The Night World Series off because my best friend is currently borrowing that series from me. She is currently reading the 3rd Volume (Books 7-9) so I should have my entire series back shortly so I can tackle it during 2012. And I also stated I was adding Crossed by Ally Condie. And so I did that. And I finished that as well!

So during Fall Into Reading I cleared a few books off my TBR shelf (only to end up making room for my Christmas presents to take their place). Lol. I also added 2 authors to my favorites! Those 2 being Stephanie Perkins & Suzanne Collins! After reading Anna and the French Kiss and The Hunger Games those 2 definitely earned their spots on my fave authors list! Not to mention I added those 2 books to my fave books shelf as well! Along with those 2 books I also added The Host to my faves!

Fall Into Reading 2011 Update

Fall Into Reading 2011 is hosted by Callapidder Days. It's a fun, low-pressure reading challenge. You can use it to catch up on your TBR pile, those books you abandoned and want to get back to, or those books that you've been dying to read but haven't got the time to. The challenge goes from September 23rd to December 21st.

So its been a little over a month since I've been doing this challenge. And I have some updates on it so lets get to it.

So lets start off with what my first topic is: Catching up on the TBR pile. So far out of the list I compiled I've read 2 (Reviews linked) out of the TBR list:

• The Host by Stephenie Meyer
• Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover by Ally Carter

 
I'm also changing something. I'm taking reading The Night World Series by L.J. Smith off of my list because my best friend is currently borrowing that series from me so I don't know if I'll have time to get to it once I get them back. I also have Firelight by Sophie Jordan on my list to be read really soon! So be on the lookout for that review!

The next thing on my list was to read a few books coming out this fall. So far I've picked up Destined by P.C. & Kristin Cast and it is one of the books I'm currently reading. I'm also going to change this one but I am going to add a book to this list. I'm adding Crossed by Ally Condie which I'm hoping to buy in the next week and get to.

The last thing on my list is to read a few books suggested by other bloggers. I have read one book so far:

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I actually just finished this one today! YAY! I also have Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins on my TBR really soon list.
