2024 Build Your Library Reading Challenge

Resistance Is Futile (Or, Why I'm Joining Another Reading Challenge When I Already Have Enough Review Books to Outfit A Small Library)
7:45 AM
Since last year saw me fail SPECTACULARLY at all the challenges for which I signed up, I have been trying to restrain myself from joining any in 2009. I've literally been sitting on my hands to stop myself from doing Carl's RIP Challenge. I've got waaaayyy too much to read and review right now. So, when I heard about Linda Ellen's Middle Grade Book Challenge, which doesn't end until next year at this time, I thought, "Now, that's one I can handle." Since I'm already reading so much MG literature, it should be "easy cheesy" as my kids say.
If you're interested in joining me, you can find all the info here.
Even though a list is not required, I love lists, so I'm making one. Just try and stop me :) Here goes:
1.This Book Is Not Good for You by Pseudonymous Bosch - my review
2. The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
3. The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper
4.Al Capone Shines My Shoes by Gennifer Choldenko - my review
5.Palace of Mirrors by Margaret Peterson Haddix - my review
6. Ever by Gail Carson Levine
7.The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall - my review
8.The Penderwicks of Gardham Street by Jeanne Birdsall - my review
9. My One Hundred Adventures by Polly Horvath
10. Heaven Eyes by David Almond
11. Skellig by David Almond
12. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
13. Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins
14. Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke
15. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
16.The Book of Story Beginnings by Kristen Kladstrup - my review
17. Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis
18. The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis
19. Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
20. Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy
21. The Treasures of Weatherby by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

It looks like you have a lot of terrific books on your list. I am especially fond of Because of Winn Dixie.
