I've decided to join a couple more challenges for the summer, just to keep life interesting. :)
First, the Summer Reading Challenge. I've been thinking about what I want to do with this one (it's completely open-ended), and I've finally decided to do another classics challenge. I really enjoyed the earlier one, so I thought it'd be nice to bring them back into my life.
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Cecilia by Frances Burney
Emma by Jane Austen
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Candide by Voltaire
Cousin Bette by Honare de Balzac
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Orzcy
The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope
Dangerous Liasons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
The other challenge is the Summer Mystery Reading Challenge. The goal is to read 6 mysteries over the summer, but there's a twist: you have to read all new authors! I figure this will be a good way to find some new favourites; you can never have too many mysteries. :)
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
From Doon with Death by Ruth Rendell
One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson
Some Danger Involved by Will Thomas
An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears
Death at Bishop’s Keep by Robin Paige
So, it's going to be a busy summer!

Wow - what a fantastic list of books! Look forward to hearing what you have to say about them.
That is one heck of a list--you are going to be busy this summer! Enjoy!
Dangerous Liaisons will make for scintillating reading. If you've got a sweet tooth they may still have Dangerous Liaisons tim- tams which make for sinful comfort food when reading.
Also, I'm a big fan of Tartt's The Secret History - I read it and almost changed my major to classics. Hope you enjoy and look forward to your reviews.
What an amazing reader you are - wow! Cool site too. I'm offering a poetry challenge for the summer if you are game for one more!!
