Athena's Week 7

Been another busy week so I only managed to reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (spoilers as usual). I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows under an hour ago. No idea if I'll make a blog post about it yet as I'm still take a breather after years with these books. Now, all I have to read for the SRC (from my original list) is rereading Shakespeare's Twelth Night. Have a good last full week of July everyone.

Week 6 - Athena

For week 6, I reread Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (spoilers therein) and read Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George. Going to reread HP6 this week, and possibly Beowulf and reread Twelth Night. I'm getting busier in real life, but my SR list is going along well.

Week 5 - Athena

This week, I read Diary of Anne Frank and A Visit to William Blake's Inn by Nancy Willard. I just finished rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (spoilers as usual). This means I only have to reread the two Harry Potter books and Twelfth Night as well as reading Book 7 to finish the challenge. This week, I plan to read Bridge to Terabithia as well.

Athena's Week 3 and 4

Happy Canada Day and early 4th of July! Onto the books, I did not blog in Week 3 because all I did was rereadHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling. I was much more productive in the fourth week as I reread Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (review has spoilers), read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, finished Best American Travel Writing 2006, and started reading The Diary of Anne Frank and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'll have more books to read this month as the Book Awards Challenge begins today. Have a good first week of July, everyone.

Week 2 - Athena

For week 2, I've been less reading productive as I hoped, but I did read Watership Down by Richard Adams on Monday. Last weekend, I reread Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in print and audiobook. Likewise, I'll be doing more reading this weekend with rereading HP2 and Twelfth Night. As well as starting another book or two.

Week 1

I've already finished two of the books I mentioned for the challenge, The Tiger in the Well and The Tin Princess, both by Philip Pullman. I also read Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster for the fun of it. I'm going to start another SR challenge book Watership Down over the next couple of days. Since I've eliminated two books already and I just joined the Book Awards Challenge (begins in July), I am going to add The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy to be SRC list and add more from that challenge to this list as my readings continue. It's a good start to the month and the challenge, and I hope to keep it up for the rest of the summer. Cheers.
