First Reading Challenge

**Originally posted on October 10, 2009**

With due pomp and circumstance, I am signing up for my first book blogger challenge. It's all very exciting. I was surfing around trying to figure out the world of reading challenges and finally, heavens be praised, I found the site A Novel Challenge. I actually found several challenges I want to join but this is the first I am ready to join because it was so easy to copy and paste a list of books. Many of these books are ones I have had on my TBR list for a long time. Oh, and I just borrowed The Graveyard Book from the library on Thursday. Quelle chance!

I can't imagine the hours of work it took to put together this list and tally the votes. But my nerdy side is also envious of the time the ladies at Ink and Paper and A Bibliophile's Bookshelf spent elbows deep in book titles and authors. The list is quite impressive; I plan on keeping it for future reference.

Anyway, this is the list of books I plan on reading:
    COLLINS, Suzanne – The Hunger Games
    SNYDER, Maria – Poison Study
    SHAKESPEARE, William – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
    GAIMAN, Neil – Coraline
    CARROLL, Lewis – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
    CARD, Orson Scott – Ender’s Game
    GAIMAN, Neil – The Graveyard Book
    BARRIE, JM – Peter Pan
    VERNE, Jules – Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
    CHAUCER, Geoffrey – Canterbury Tales
    KAY, Guy Gavriel – Tigana
    MARTEL, Yann – Life of Pi
    GABALDON, Diana – Outlander
