I have a reading list that will probably take me a year or two to actually read, and the fact that I am constantly adding to it really won't help matters. So I've just taken the first 15 titles off my reading list to use for the Spring Reading Thing. I debated about how many books I should list. A lot of these should be quick reads, so I put 15. I Hope I will actually be able to read that many this spring!
- Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
- For the Sake of Elena by Elizabeth George
- Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson
- I am the Only Running Footman by Martha Grimes
- A Walk with Jane Austen by Lori Smith
- Rules by Cynthia Lord
- L is for Lawless by Sue Grafton
- Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
- The Italian by Ann Radcliffe
- It's a Mall World After All by Janette Rallison
- I am a Mother by Jane Clayson Johnson
- North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
- Two Histories of England by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens
Head over to Callapidder Days to sign up with your own list.
Edited on 31 March: I am removing Upon the Mountains from the list because inter-library loan is have a difficult time locating a copy for me. I am also adding two books to the list:
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Austenland by Shannon Hale

Great list! Have fun!
Looks like a really good list, Jeanette! I've had Elizabeth George and Martha Grimes on my list of "authors to try" for a while -- I should probably get around to actually trying them, huh? Thanks for being part of SRT '08!
Looks like a great list. I finally read Anne of Green Gables this year. Your Jane Austen books sound interesting...
Wow, you sure must read fast! Nice 2 meet you :)
Hop on over to my blog to see my list.
Looks like a great list! I can't wait to add some of these books to my list. I am trying to read a lot of Jane Austen's books.. I think Sense and Sensibility might be the next on the list.
We have some books in common :) North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell and Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery.
Rules by Cynthia Lord, by the way, is great. I hope you enjoy :)
Great list!
Great variety! And some new names for me....can't wait to read your thoughts!
I am reading Sense and Sensibility! I am going have to check out A Walk With Jane Austen. Enjoy your reading.
I enjoyed A Walk with Jane Austen. Its a lovely memoir. I really enjoyed I Am A Mother. I hope you do too.
Oh, and I love your chair. Looks super comfy.
Great List! I'm in agreement with most of your ratings on your sidebar, so I can't wait to see how you rate some of the books on your list. Happy Reading!
Wow! What a list! I look forward to reading your reviews!
I read the "walk with Jane Austen" and for the most part, enjoyed it. Good list! One of these days, I will try Elizabeth George, mystery writer. The other Elizabeth George is one of my favorites.
