Cathy at 746 Books is hosting 20 Books of Summer again. This challenge has been fun the last couple of years, and has proved to be a good way for me to actually read some of those “I need to read those one day” books. I’m being very ambitious this year with some of my selections, but some of those are pulling double-duty and are taking care of another reading challenge, too. It’s going to be an actual challenge to get all of these read, but I think I’m up for it. It’s a little risky with two trilogies and three books from another new-to-me series—I could end up really disliking myself, but I really want to clean up some of my shelves, you know?
I’m going with the unofficial US Dates for Summer—Memorial Day to Labor Day (today through September 5th), just because it’s easier for me to think that way. And I’ve needed those first few days of September the last two years, but let’s not think about that. Well, I say I’m starting today, but it’s going to be next Tuesday at the earliest that I get to read one of these books…proper planning and all that…
This summer, my 20 are going to be:
(subject to change, as is allowed, but I’m going to resist the impulse to tweak as much as I can).

Don’t see a single pony amongst….talk about a slow horse…The Border very brave of you, however!!

There were a couple on my first draft. And that got whittled down to one, and I had to cut it–I got intimidated by what I’d come up with. Yeah, The Border could derail two challenges for me by itself.

and also, I knew you were going to hit me with this. I just wasn’t sure if you were going to do it here or via text. I don’t get any credit for finally catching up with Fiona Griffiths?

I’m curious what you’ll think of Amoralman.
HCNewton
Me, too, my friend. Me, too.
