Spring Reading Thing 2009 Challenge

Katrina at Callapidder Days is once again hosting the Spring Reading Thing challenge. The rules/guidelines are to make a list of books you want to read (or finish reading) this spring. Your list can be as long or as short as you’d like. Feel free to modify your list during the challenge if it’s not working for you. Write a blog post containing your list and submit it to the post about the challenge using Mr. Linky. The challenge runs March 20 through June 20, 2009.

I've decided to tie-in some of my picks with Dewey's Read-a-thon scheduled for April 18-19. I love, love, love the RAT! If you've never participated before, you absolutely should.

Anyway, the books I'm picking for the Reading Thing are:
