I stumbled upon yet another reading challenge.
The Book to Movie Challenge.
Now, keeping in mind that:
a) I work full time and
b) I am a full time mom
I've decided that I can stay up late to read when the kids are sleeping
and read on my lunch hour at work.
This way I can fit in this new reading challenge....lol. I've always been an avid reader and ever since joining the first reading challenge, I've read a nice variety of books, wonderful books I don't think I would have read if I wasn't inspired by these reading challenges.
******************************
Your challenge is to pick and read at least 3 books that were made into movies. There is a LARGE list here
The deadline to sign up is today, so guess what? I'm going for it!
Here's my list:
1. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
2. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3. The Color Purple by Alice Walker
if by some fantastic miracle, I am able to read a few more, here are my picks:
4. The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
5. Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
6. High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
7. Little Women by Luisa May Alcott
I was tempted to add the Harry Potter books to my list, but I've read them all twice already and decided to venture out into some new reading material.
And I have promised myself no more reading challenges until I'm done with the 3 that I'm part of.
