what alisonwonderland is going to read

which of the books about other participants have i decided to read? that's been even more difficult to decide than which books were "about me"! our host Lisa has said that she originally thought she'd choose one book from each participant's list - but she greatly underestimated the popularity of this unique reading challenge. i wish i could read one book from each list - but i've settled on five that i will definitely read by the end of the challenge and five more that i will hope i can get to. all the other great suggestions will have to go on the "someday" list. here are my two sets of five:

• So Many Books, So Little Time by Sara Nelson
  (from the lists of Vasilly, A Book in the Life, and Sally)


• Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter
  (from Stephanie's list)


• The View from Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg
  (from Sarah Miller's list)


• A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
  (from Becky's list)


• Marley & Me by John Grogan
  (from Lynne's list)

• The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
  (from Kristin's list)
