Casual Classics Challenge 2009

Classic being anything written before 1970. And only need to read 4 of them – my list of books:

• To Kill a Mockingbird – done
• Jane Eyre – got it on my Kindle now along with several other Bronte books
• Heart of Darkness – done
• The Trial by Franz Kafka

The Iliad counts and so will the Odyssey when I finish it. Sense and Sensibility definitely counts. Pat of Silver Bush and Mistress Pat also count. I just finished The Scarlet Pimpernel as well as Emily of New Moon and Emily Climbs so I have definitely read some classics.

Technically this one is still going on, but I’m marking it as closed for me. I have read many classics and will read more before the year is over.

Christian Readers Challenge 2009

Any Christian books (fiction or nf) to read by April 30 – my list:

• Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God by David McCasland – done
• George Muller of Bristol: His Life of Prayer and Faith by A. T. Pierson – on the Kindle waiting for free time
• The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton – done
• Mere Christianity – done
• The 7 Hardest Things God Asks a Woman To Do by Kathie Reimer & Lisa Whittle – read two more chapters

So, I didn’t conquer my list, but I did get 3 out of the 5 finished and enjoyed them very much. The other 2 are still on my list to be read this year.
