Ok so over at Callapidder Days it is time for the 3rd annual Fall Into Reading!!! I am definitely ready! I will have a little bit more time this year with the kids all being at school, not a lot because I am at school too ;) So yeah, but I do have my list and I am rearing to go!!!
Here is my fiction list that I am definitely going to read (with links to Amazon, I'm just good like that):
The Other Boylen Girl By Philippa Gregory (mine has a different cover than Amazon's because mine is not a movie tie in I got it at walmart when I got cupcakes last week...)
7th Heaven By James Patterson (he's also the author of the Maximum Ride series for kids, check it out!!)
The Thomas Berryman Number by James Patterson
Run for Your Life by James Patterson
Cross Country by James Patterson (see a theme? he's a got a new one coming in Feb that I want...hehehe)
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (yes I've read it before but my daughter just read it and loved it so we are getting the movie and I want to read it again)
Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones
Call for the Dead by John LeCarr
Devil Bones by Kathy Reichs
The Shack by William P Young (controversial I know...I'll probably post an in-depth comment on this one ;) )

Non-Fiction includes:

Good luck with your list! I loved The Other Boleyn Girl.
I'm very excited about my list! Thanks!!
Wowser, that's a lot of books! Good luck with your list! I'm going to check a few of them out and maybe add them to my GoodReads list.
You have some great books on your list, thanks for sharing.
Happy Fall Reading :)!
I hope to reread Great Expectations sometime soon as well. I read in high school and really enjoyed it, but I want to read it again now that I'm an adult.
When I read The Shack I had to write a review as well. I'm glad that I read it, but I didn't appreciate it really at all.
i should be cleaning house, but i'd rather read blogs and comment!
you have an ambitious list. i'd like to hear how you like the dick morris books. i've been toying with reading fleeced. and my sister is loaning me her "the shack". i also need to finish the 2 towers i started this summer.
ps: how do i add a pic like you do when you make a comment?
Looks good! I love The Screwtape Letters, and I've enjoyed a number of James Patterson books too, though I haven't read any of the ones on your list. You're getting lots of political variety this fall, too. :)
Thanks for being part of the challenge!
Great List! I think I have some of those books on my shelf but they didn't make the short list for fall. Thanks for sharing and happy reading!
What a great list! You have a bunch of books that I have waiting for me to read on my bookshelf. Have fun reading this fall :-)
Love James Patterson too. What could be better than a book and a cupcake? Happy Reading.
Wow! You have a lot of non-fiction, too. Good for you. Those are the hardest for me.
I'm going to check some of these out and maybe put some of them on my "later" list. You do have a great selection.
Love your blog title, by the way.

Oh, and I loved The Screwtape Letters, although it's probably been about five years since I read it.
