Spring Reading Thing 2009
March 20th, 2009
Well here we go with another challenge. Katrina over at Callapidder Days has posted the Spring Reading Thing for 2009 and I’m going to join. I think it’s a great challenge because it’s books I have to read anyway so I’m at least more likely to finish it up. It will run from today, March 20 – June 20 and you can check out the details and join here if you’d like. I’m also going to use this post to keep track of what I’ve read by highlighting it in a different color once I’ve posted a review.
So, here’s my list…

- Willing Spirits by Phyllis Schieber
- Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson
- Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews

Such a pretty button!
I’m not familiar with any of the authors except for Daphne du Maurier. I haven’t read Frenchman’s Creek, but I loved everything of hers I’ve read. Enjoy your picks, Dar!
Good Luck!
Where did you find Last Night in Montreal!? I had been checking Chapters and Amazon since I first heard about it (Jan.?) but it wasn’t available. Of course I’ll look forward to all your reviews but I’ll be keeping an eye out for that one in particular.
Happy Spring reading, Dar!
Nymeth, the button is really pretty. I was thinking that too but of course forgot to mention it.
Thanks Kathy
Wanda, I’m doing a tour for it. Do you belong to Book Blogs? If you do, it’s through Unbridled Books. The tour is in June.
Quite a list! Go, Dar, Go!
Lezlie
I’m in this one too. Good luck.
Wow.. Dar.. the list makes me dizzy.. Good luck with the challenge.
I adored No One You Know! Hope you do too
Thanks a lot—-more titles for my TBR list
Looking forward to: Still Life too.
This challenge sounds like fun. I just completed the Winter Reading Challenge so why not a spring one? Great list of books!!
Great list, Dar. Happy Spring!
Hi
I was just passing by to tell you that you have an award waiting for you here
http://desertrosebooklogue.blogspot.com/2009/03/sisterhood-award.html
Please come and pick it up
What a great looking list! Happy reading.
Super list — you have some good reading ahead of you!
Hmmm…another challenge! I may have to think about this one. I wanted to let you know that I gave you an award here.
Yikes–long list and I’ve only heard of Deep Dish! Not sure what that says about me.
Have fun with the challenge!!
great list! I am really excited about this challenge.
Wow, you are so amazing! I have a hard time planning my reading for the next week, never mind the next three months!
You go, girl!
I might get around to reading Deep Dish finally so when we packed up the books I put it aside in my (huge) bag of books I might read before the closing of the house sale goes through.
good luck with the challenge!

I haven’t read any of these, but it looks like a good list with lots of variety. Hope you enjoy them all! Thanks for being part of Spring Reading Thing ’09!
I joined this one as well!
I want to read The Secret Keeper.. I hope you enjoy it
Thanks everyone for stopping by and wishing me luck on The Spring Challenge. I have the feeling I’m going to need it. Either way, my goal is to read what I’ve committed to, but mostly to have fun.
