Fall Into Reading 2011 Question 2

So week two's question is posted, and it's actually pretty similar to a Top Ten list a did recently.


The question is:
How often do you re-read books? What does it take to make you re-read?


The answer would be not very often at all. I do often forget a lot of the details when I do, so I don't mind doing it, but there are so many books I haven't read it feels counter-productive. However, sometimes I do, and its normally because I don`t have anything new to read, and I can`t fall asleep unless I read first. This is another reason I love my Kobo, because I can just sign into the store from bed and get a new book, so I`m not stuck picking an old one from my shelf.


And, like last week`s question I will give you a little update on how I am doing with my reading list. I finished Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi (review here) and now I`m reading Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, which ironically isn't on my list, but should have been, as I had even already had it bought. So what's that, one down, and one added, so really it's like I have barely started!

Fall Into Reading 2011

This is a reading Challenge (my first to participate in) from Callapidder Days where you make a list of the books you would like to read this Fall (Sept. 23-Dec.21). I think this is a great way to get on track with my outrageous TBR list, and give me some sort of guidance as to what to pick up next! And I love lists. Obsessively.

I'm going to break this into 3 categories: 1) stand alone books 2) new series books 3) next book in a series I already read (just for organizational purposes)

Stand Alone Books
1) Unbearable Lightness - Portia de Rossi
2) Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
3) Bel Canto - Ann Patchett
4) The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd


5) Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen
6) Let the Great World Spin - Colum McCann
7) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Society - Annie Barrows
8) The Color Purple - Alice Walker


New Series Books
9) Delirium - Lauren Oliver
10) Divergent - Veronica Roth
11) A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin
12) Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
13) Matched - Allie Condie


Next Book In A Series I Already Read
14) It Had To Be You - Janice Thompson (Wedding by Bella # 3)





15) ...And Then He Ate My Boy Entrances - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 6)
16) Startled By His Furry Shorts- Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 7)
17) Love is a Many Trousered Thing - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 8)
18) Stop in the Name of Pants! - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 9)
19) Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 10)
 

20) Club Dead - Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #3)
21) Dead to the World - Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #4)
 

22) James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper - G. Norman Lippert





As ambitious as I would love to be, that's all I will add for now, so I don't end up being disappointed I couldn't finish. If I get near the end, I will add some more if I have to. I will label all my reviews with 'fall into reading' so you can find them easily :)
