Spring Reading Thing 2008 March 20-June 19thMaybe other challenge-holics can sympathize. I'm having the hardest time coming up with a list. There are simply too many books out there. And by 'out there' I mean sitting around in piles at my house. Of course, 'out there' can also be the library. I'm just a girl who can't say no to books. I'm hoping to read 8-10 of these.

I am also reading Gone with the Wind this SRT '08! Have fun and looks like a great list!
Hi Becky! Just love those Ramonas and Beezus. I know what you mean about there being too many books! Have fun reading.
A CURSE DARK AS GOLD is fantastic!
Of course, being a huge Montgomery fan, I was thrilled to see all those Anne books listed, too!
Great list!

Ahhh, another nice, long list:-) I feel in good company:-)
I believe I've stumbled upon an avid reader here :)
You've got a great list. Read on!
There are simply too many books out there.
so true, so true! happy reading!
Great list, Becky, with lots of variety! And I can totally relate to having piles of books everywhere. That's me, too! Thanks for being part of SRT '08!
North and South is a beautiful book. LoTR is also wonderful -- for several years I used to read the whole thing once a year, although lately that has fallen off. And of course, the Ramona books, and the Anne series, and the Narnia books... you have put together a really stellar list.
Except: I read Gone with the Wind once and will never do so again. I found Scarlett O'Hara incredibly irritating! I wouldn't recommend that book at all -- but perhaps you will enjoy it. I'd be interested to know what you think!
Great list. I loved the Ramona books! Happy Reading.
I have Curse Dark as Gold on my nightstand. I can't wait to start it.
What a list! The Anne books are wonderful! I am reading through the series right now. Gone with the Wind is one of those books that people either love or hate. I loved it.
What are we book lovers to do with so many great books out there calling to us to read them?
Your choice is so similar to mine!! I totally adore LOTR and The Chronicles of Narnia. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien are such oustanding writers, both thought-provoking and profound. I actually just caught the trailers of the latest Narnia movei-Prince Caspian (you can watch it here-http://www.disney.in/narnia). It promises to be awesome by the looks of the trailer, with the killer war sequences, special effects and the background score. I love war and adventure books, but in their cases the movies always turn out to be better because of the visual effects. I'm sure all CS Lewis lovers wont miss the movie for anything. Watch the trailer, it'll enthrall you for sure!!
Hey there i have loved all the books in the chronicles of narnia series.
I have seen the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. It's great.
I have been waiting for Prince Caspian since then.
I saw the trailer.
Ben Barnes who plays the lead is just wow!
I thought I'd share it with you.
