Tuesday, January 23, 2007. Posted by Alyson @ 12:45 AM. Friday, January 19, 2007. I read Silas Marner as my first book in the "Winter Classics Challenge" hosted by Booklogged. Posted by Alyson @ 12:55 AM. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. I know I've been absent for a while, and I apologize for not keeping everyone up-to-date on what's going on. I probably won't make it to 50 books in a year (my original goal), but I have come up with a new plan so I can start reading again. Posted by Alyson @ 12:15 AM. The boo...

Fifty Books: March 2006
http://fifty-books.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 26, 2006. 2 A Prayer for Owen Meany. I've read this book before, but it is one of my favorites. It contains some objectionable material, so I don't know if I would recommend it to anyone. You'll have to decide for yourself if you want to read it. Other than the few parts that are objectionable, it is one of the best books I've ever read. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes (Owen speaks in all caps as a way to try to explain his extraordinary voice):. From Owen Meany's journal. Okay, so ...

Fifty Books: August 2006
http://fifty-books.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. This book review was also written months after listening to the book on a long road trip (same as #16). Another fun book by Scottoline. I will definitely read more by her in the future. Posted by Alyson @ 12:02 AM. Sunday, August 20, 2006. I enjoyed this book because of its suspense and humorous aspects.

Saturday, March 24, 2007. 27 Of Mice and Magic. I decided to read this book based on this review. This is the first book in the Ravenspell series. I don't know that I will read anymore of the series, but it was fun to read one of them, but I think most 10-13 year olds would get completely engrossed in this series. Posted by Alyson @ 5:25 PM. Sunday, March 18, 2007. To read and I'll have read all of Austen's novels.I think. Posted by Alyson @ 5:10 PM. Thursday, March 15, 2007. 25 Lost in a Good Book.

Friday, December 01, 2006. 18 The Goose Girl. I’m also looking forward to Shannon’s new book, Austenland, released in May It is her first adult novel and is about a woman who is obsessed with Mr. Darcy (from Pride and Prejudice) as portrayed by Colin Firth. I have a feeling I will relate too well to this character. Posted by Alyson @ 12:43 AM. Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. View my complete profile. Candleman's Guide to the Universe.

Fifty Books: February 2007
http://fifty-books.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. This is my final book for the Winter Classics Challenge. I actually finished it on Sunday, but I haven't had a chance to write the post until now. I chose this book for a few reasons. 1 I love Jane Austen books, so it was pretty safe that I would enjoy this one as well. 2 It is short and I didn't have a lot of time until the end of the challenge. 3 My library had it checked in, so I didn't have to wait for it. 4 It was available on audio CD. Won't you be scared when the serv...
