It’s time for Katrina’s Fall into Reading challenge again which is always fun to do! I love to visit around and see what other people are reading and finding good ideas for future reads for me. I can usually find a book or 10 that catches my attention, and many times it’s something I might not have run across otherwise. The last couple of times I’ve done the challenge I’ve kept my list relatively simple so I don’t get overwhelmed during the fall with holidays fast approaching. Here’s what I think I’ll read this fall:
1. Miss Match by Erynn Mangum
2. The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society by Beth Pattillo
3. We Have This Moment by Diann Hunt
4. Murder Carries a Torch by Anne George
5. Murder Boogies With Elvis by Anne George
6. Love Starts With Elle by Rachel Hauck
7. Marley and Me by John Grogan
The first 5 I have are books I borrowed from my sis Stacy, along with maybe a dozen more! I keep them for too long sometimes so maybe this will help me work through my stack and return them to her; she has the best return policy of any library I know! The last 2 are from my church library and town library. I think I saw that Marley and Me is a movie coming out this year and I usually like to read any book first before seeing the movie. I’ve heard it’s a pretty good book! If all goes well, I might even get a few more read along the way.
Be sure to go visit Katrina to find out more about the challenge and to see a list of who’s participating….you’re sure to find some good books and blogs to read! Let me know if you join in….what are you reading this fall?

Great list! Of course I’ve read all but one of those and really liked them. Get some kleenex out for Marley and Me. I can’t believe the movie will be half as good as the book (with Owen Wilson, pul-lease!) 🙂
Happy Reading!

Your list is all new books for me, except Marley & Me which I haven’t read, but at least I’ve heard of it! I saw the movie poster out last night when I went to see “The Family That Preys.” (Ooooh, it was good!) I just finished reading, The Shack, and would highly recommend it. I’ll have to give some thought to the reading challenge. I’m so bad about finishing them, but it’s always great fun to set some goals.

Your list looks great! I look forward to hearing about them. I am mad at myself for not getting my list together, but I haven’t. Maybe I’ll try to get it done in a day or two.

love starts with Elle is on my list too!

Looks good! The only one I’ve read from your list is Marley & Me. Good book, but definitely a tear-jerker, especially for dog-lovers. Enjoy your fall reading!

You are really going to busy. I need to do more reading but for some reason the outdoor projects are calling me right now. I will do better when it is COLD outside.

Loved looking at your fall list, Gail!
I didn’t participate this year…but I will be doing some reading and it’s fun to look at what others have on their list.
I think Marley and Me was on my fall list last year in fact! And I still haven’t gotten to it!
OK..think I’m really going to have to pick this one up somewhere and read it this fall! 🙂

Looks like a great list, Gail. So nice to have a sister with an easy going return policy isn’t it?

I loved Marley and Me, such a great book! I hope you like it as well.

Those Anne George books look like they would be really good. I put them on my Amazon wish list. You have a great list!

Erynn’s books are the best, the entire series had me cracking up I read them for Fall into 2007..
Karen’s books are the best, we are on our honeymoon, and i went to the local bookstore and picked up the newest and final Baxter… I will make sure to let you know what I think. ~H

I am looking forward to the Marly and Me movie. The book was great.

Bet you’ll whip through those and a pile more! I haven’t read any of those. Keep wanting to read Marley and Me, but I keep putting it off because of the Kleenex factor.

you have a great list.
I love Erynn Mangum, her books are perfect chick lit, and a fast fun read!

It looks like you are doing pretty well so far!
