My book blogger friend Jessica, from Books a True Story, has a challenge for you book readers! We need to dust off some books on our shelf (literal or figurative) and read them. There will be mini-challenges and giveaways throughout the year too! This will be my first challenge to join. Woohoo! I actually don’t have a lot of books on my bookshelf that I haven’t read that I actually want to read, but I do have a ton of to-read books that are extremely dusty on my virtual bookshelf (goodreads.com).
Here are the steps for the challenge straight from Books a True Story:
I’ll think big and pick level GRUNGY!! 20+ books

I've read The Princess Bride, The Diamond Secret, and Princess Ben, athough not in a while. I have also read most of Bryan Davis' bokks, but not Beyond the Reflection's Glass. The ones I have read are really good.
I will have to make my own list(I have many) . . .

Fun! As for your Grungy list…:)
I've read Tyger, Tyger and just reviewed the sequel In the Forests of the Night on my blog. (BTW, it helps to get the audiobook b/c there are LOTS of Irish words!)
I really liked The Summoning, and I think I finally posted the review for that, too.
Wild Magic was a DNF for me, but I've had lots of those lately for some reason.
Incarceron was mind-bending crazy goodness! I heard it's gonna be a movie, too. 🙂
