Summer Reading Challenge 2010 Final Post

I started with a much shorter list but I kept finding these great books I wanted to read right away.  There are a few that are on-going, learning books that I have to keep coming back to over the course of the  year or a few months.  Some books I have set aside indefinitely.  Others may be moved to my Fall Into Reading Challenge book list.  Some may wait until further into the winter.

I am very pleased with the amount of reading I got done this summer.  I probably could have done better, but I am reading a lot more than I was before I started joining these reading challenges.

My favorite books were the ones by Francine Rivers and Outcast by C L Talmadge.

My least favorite was The Magician’s Book by Laura Miller but that was only because my reading level is below her writing level.

The one I wished I would have gotten to this summer is Finding Purpose Beyond Our Pain.
