1st quarter 2009 Reading Challenge

I have decided to take the 1st quarter 2009 reading challenge along with my sisters at APOOO. So, I commit to read a book a week or 13 books from January 1st through March 31st 2008. My list is comprised of books I have on my shelf at home that I need to get through as well as a few galleys I have to review. I will be adding a few BOM reads from my two online reading groups(APOOO and SexyEbonyBBWAA Book Club) as well as any review books I may receive, so I know my list will grow beyond the 13. I hope that you are inspired to check out a few of my titles or go to any of the blogs I have on my homepage and see what others are reading. Reading is a great exercise for your mind and allows a little break from the drama of your everyday world. Here is my list in no special order:

1. In Blood We Trust By F.D. Davis - 2


2. After the Lies By Mandessa Selby


3. J -Pop Love Song By Shiree McCarver - 4


4. What White Boyz Ride By multiple authors -4


5. Love TKO By Pamela Yaye


6. The Players Proposal By Angie Daniels


7. Seducing the Matchmaker By Elaine Overton - 4


8. Sex and the Single Braddock By Robyn Amos(This is a re-read, because I need a refresher)


9. Second Chance Baby By A.C Arthur


10. The Object of His Protection By Brenda Jackson


11. The Holiday Inn By Phyliss Bourne Williams, Farrah Rochon and Stefanie Worth - 3(My favorite story was the one by Farrah Rochon but they were all cute stories)


12. Seduced by Moonlight By Janice Sims


13. Fledgling By Octavia E Butler


14. Just Too Good to Be True By E. Lynn Harris
15. Dying for Revenge By Eric Jerome Dickey - 5 (this was actually a 2008 book that I put down to complete some reviews I had to do)
16. Sinful Chocolate By Adrianne Bryd
17. Men, Money and Gold Diggers By Je'Caryous Johnson - 3
18. The Cassandra Cookbook By Shawn James - 4

I know I keep adding to the list. My list is a work in progress and when a book calls me I have to pick it up.

I have now decided there is a need for books I gave up on. Boy this post has changed dynamics): I am not sure at this time if I will revisit the books listed:

1. 
   Where the Line Bleeds By Jesmyn Ward
