Progress Continues

I've been out of town, so I am a couple of weeks out of the loop. However, I am still making progress. Here's from my original listing:

Leading from Your Strengths by John Trent, Rodney Cox, & Eric Tooker completed but not reviewed--I'm still struggling with how to review this book on leadership that didn't lead.
Confessions of a Pastor by Craig Groeschel completed & reviewed
The Kingdom Focused Church by Gene Mims currently reading (about halfway done)
True Grit by Charles Portis completed & reviewed
Skin by Ted Dekker currently reading (about 1/3 finished)
The Great Giveaway by David Fitch this one was recommended by a friend. I haven't found it in the bookstores yet.
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson completed, reviewed, and watched the movie--a pleasant surprise (see the movie review here)

I've also had the opportunity to read and review a bonus book. So I'm happy with the progress so far.

Ted's new arrival

I just couldn't help it. I had to make another list change because my copy of Harry Potter arrived. There is no way I am going to finish Symbolic Species anyway, so Harry replaces it and then after that I have just the book on memory to read. I'm really down to the wire!

three down, two to go

i've just finished the third of the five Jodi Picoult novels on my SRC list - Vanishing Acts. i've posted a brief review on my book blog.

before that, i strayed from the list and read Stephenie Meyer's New Moon so i could discuss it with my daughters. you can read about that on my book blog too.

now i'm going to try to finish at least one of the two remaining books on my list (Plain Truth and The Tenth Circle) before August 1!

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.

Vasilly-Week 7

I have been a very bad girl. I haven't left a post here in weeks. I've changed my list (again). I just lost interest in the books I had planned on reading for this challenge. In the last week I have read:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
and now I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Last week after a three year absence, I suddenly realized I missed Mr. Potter, so now I'm almost finished in re-reading the series. Since my last post about a month ago, I've also read:
Chocolat by Joanne Harris - such a great book
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
The Killer's Tears by Anne-Laure Bondoux

I think the last book I will read for this challenge will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Week 7, Becky's Book Reviews

I have really gotten behind in reviewing books for my website. But I have read quite a few this week:

Bad Tickets by Kathleen O'Dell
All the Other Things I Really Wanted To Know I Learned From Watching Star Trek the Next Generation
Better Than Life by Daniel Pennac
Cassie Was here by Caroline Hickey (review to be written and posted sometime)
Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz (review to be written and posted sometime)
AngelMonster by Veronica Bennett (review to be written and posted sometime)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (review to be written and posted sometime)

I've only read one book for Becky's Christian Reviews this week:

Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs

Only one more book to go!

I am very excited to have one book left for this challenge: Billy Bathgate by E.L. Doctorow (which I am reading now for this challenge and the Book Awards Reading Challenge).

Last week, I read Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler. Overall, I was disappointed with this book. You're welcome to read my review if you're interested.

Have a great week!
