The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

I've got 30 points to add to my total. I read The Girl who Played with Fire by Steig Larrson as the book published in the past decade and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden as a book that was made into a movie in the last decade. I enjoyed both books lots!

One more task down, 5.9 ISN'T IT ROMANTIC. I read Calling Mr. Lonely Hearts. I thought it was depressing and I didn't really enjoy it at all.

Ok. So far I've completed the following tasks:

5.1 THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY
Read : Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn (my favourite movie is Mulan! :) )
I quite liked this book as it had just the right balance of fantasy and realism to keep me interested

20.1 MOST IMPROVED PLAYER - BETH MN'S TASK - REVISITING THE PAST
Read: The Host by Stephenie Meyer (Read A Book That Has Been Translated from its Original Language)
Not a great book from a science fiction point of view but quite entertaining all the same

25.5 ABIGAIL'S TASK - ODD MAN OUT
Read : Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
Long, boring and predictable - but for some reason I couldn't stop reading it

25.6 STEPHANIE US' TASK - ISLAND DREAMS
Read: The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry (set in Ireland)
I really liked this book as it gave a really poignant insight into Ireland in the past when the Catholic church practically ruled the country. Quite a twist at the end as well!

So, that gives me a total of..... 75 points, not as bad as I expected!:)

finished task 15.1 by reading Animal Farm and watching Heathers. i haven't read animal farm since the 80's...i forgot how sad it is. poor Boxer. :( heathers is always hilarious! "did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" hehehe.

15.6 The Season of Gifting and Giving: The best gift I ever received, or to be more precise, the coolest and most interesting, was a necklace my husband gave me about 11 years ago. We were vacationing in Florida, and the necklace is a silver coin, made of silver from the sunken wreck of the 17th-century Spanish galleon Atocha, and minted from one of the coins also found on the wreck. I loved it because it was a remider of our Florida vacation, a cool piece of history, and definitely a conversation piece. I loved it in the past tense, because about 5 years ago, I wore it to church one day and it fell out of its setting, and I have not seen it since. :(

I read Fatal Treasure: Greed and Death, Emeralds and Gold, and the Obsessive Search for the Legendary Ghost Galleon i Atocha/i by Jedwin Smith, which was a fascinating if somewhat sensationalized account of the search for that treasure and its eventual recovery. I suppose considering the tragedies associated with that ship, I should be thankful that I lost only the coin - many lost their lives. But I still miss it.

As for giving back, I am a Girl Scout leader with my daughter's troop, and I also volunteer as our area's Service Unit Director.

Natalie wrote: "I'm going to have to give that Girl Sleuth book a second try. I borrowed it from the library a couple of months ago but just couldn't get into it. ..."

Natalie, I thought it started off really slow too, but once you get past the first couple of chapters, to the point where they are actually writing Nancy Drew books it gets much more interesting. Good luck with it!

I read A Voice in the Wind for the second half of 25.4. A Voice In the Wind takes place during the first century and the other book I read A Cup of Tea: A Novel of 1917, obviously takes place in 1917. I would definitely have preferred to live in 1917. Roman times and gladiators and insatiable blood lust are not really my thing. I think it would have been fun to live during and pre the 1920s when so many things were changing in North America.

I also get a ticket for reading a book that is more than 500 pgs (515 pages).

Total: 105 points, 6 books, 5 completed tasks

Read some books for the challenges with 500+ pages but forgot to mention them for tickets (chances)

15.2 Eclipse 629 pages
20.2 Breaking Dawn 754 pages

I probably won't have very many points this challenge as I'm more interested in reading from my very large TBR pile than completing the tasks, but I have a few more that fit, so...

For this task I read Prince of Shadows by Susan Krinard. The story is about a little girl who befriends a wolf in the wild. Later on in life they meet up again as adults and she finds out he is the wolf she was friends with and they fall in love.
One of my favorite gifts was the Irish Wolfhound puppy I was given by my parents when I was a child. I am an only child so she became a close part of my childhood. I also give frequently to the Donor's Choose organization. A great organization that helps teachers get the funding they need for class projects. I Gave to a reading project back in December.

Finished:
10.3 RENAISSANCE READING: A.Beloved by Toni Morrison (unrelentinly dreary) AND B. Harlem Speaks: A Living History of the Harlem Renaissance by Cary D. Wintz (a long, but interesting history with an included CD with the people highlighted.) (502 pages)

30.6 WENDY'S TASK--WINTER VACATION DREAMS: In Tasmania by Nicolas Shakespeare

30.8 KARI'S TASK--EXPLORING WITH LEWIS AND CLARK: A. nonfiction William Clark and the Shaping of the West by Landon Y. Jones and B. Cultivating Hope: Homesteading on the Great Plains by Linda Hubalek is slim fictionalized account of the author's great-great grandmother in Kansas between 1869-1886. I fear I am too soft to live as a pioneer in the 19th century. I like the modern convienences--no ironing, the microwave, HUAC, plumbing, medical science. I'm a wimp of the first degree.

Finished some more

10.7 Small Screen Stories
Read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris which is the basis for the True Blood series. It was a fast read and I liked it, 4 stars.

20.1 Revisiting the Past
I chose 15.4.Science Fact vs. Science Fiction (Read A Non-Fiction Book About Science and watch a Science Fiction Film)
I read The Skeptic's Guide to the Paranormal by Lynne Kelly. It was about the science behind some paranormal phenomenon and went through some of the research into it. Pretty interesting, 4 stars.
AND
I watched Johnny Mnemonic which I don't think I'd seen before but was pretty awesome hehe.

30.1 Celebrate the End of the Decade
I read Sunshine by Robin McKinley which was published in 2003. I loved this book, 5 stars.

30.3 Snowed in and Loving It
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris - 279 pages
Club Dead by Charlaine Harris - 274 pages

Total Points: 715

Total Tasks: 36

watching the golden globes, but I have a few more tasks to report:

5.3 - The White Queen by Philippa Gregory. This book is about Elizabeth Woodville, who was the wife of King Edward IV, grandmother to Henry VIII (you know, that guy with the wives). The character was fascinating, but this time I felt let down by Gregory. I usually really enjoy her books, but this one was meh.

10.7 - I have to admit this, my favorite show on TV is America's Next Top Model. It is my guilty pleasure. It is a horrible, horrible show, but I LOVE it, and I haven't missed one season yet. I even watch the international versions of the show (Australia, Britain and Canada). I chose to read A Model Summer by Paulina Porizkova, a former model and also a former judge of the show. This book was a semi-autobiographical novel about a fifteen year old girl who goes to Paris to model. Booze, sex, drugs, crazy people, etc. Its not well-written but it gives you an insider view into what a horror modeling can actually be like, and how its probably a really bad things that these really young girls are thrown into so many harmful situations. I read somewhere that Polanski is the actual inspiration for the creepy director in the book, and I'll believe that rumor, especially considering his history, lol.

15.10 - RIP - I read The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer, who died in 2009. She was a prolific YA writer and I had actually never before read one of her books. This book was about five sisters and the creepy child molester that is watching them. At some point one of the sisters is abducted. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. It was an easy and enjoyable read. However, for a better book about a similar topic, I recommend
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott.
For the movie, I watched Ramen Girl, starring the beautiful Brittany Murphy. I was very sad to hear that Ms. Murphy had passed. She was a lovely young woman and a fine actress; I enjoyed her work. Ramen Girl is about an American girl who finds herself stranded in Japan when, after traveling to Tokyo to be with him that he no longer wants to be with her. After eating a bowl of ramen, she decides she wants to learn how to cook ramen, and she becomes the apprentice of a very surly ramen chef. This movie was cute, gave an interesting insight into Japanese culture, and really made me want a bowl of ramen.

35.3 - I read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. This was actually the first Picoult book I have ever read. I was surprised by how much I liked it. She is much better than her contemporaries (Patterson and Grisham) and the story was enjoyable. It is about a school shooting, and it was kind of like watching a Law & Order episode. However, for a better book on the same subject, I recommend Hate List by Jennifer Brown. One of my top three books read in the last year.

Previous Score: 350
Current Score: 415

I finished 30.2 by reading Ender's Game and Unwind. I enjoyed both books, but I liked Ender's Game better. They both had characters that were trying to save lives, but I felt like I got to know the main character of Ender's Game better, because the writing felt more sincere.

That makes my total 305 points.

15.3: One for the Money and A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages

15.7: Kitchen Princess, Volume 1 I made the sugar cookies from the recipes at the end, and they were an epic failure. They tasted okay, but they spread out so much while they were baking that they were just a giant mass of cookie.

Finished 30.2 Sci Fi

Read Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, winner of Nebula in 1966 and Utopia by Lincoln Child, written in 2003.

The main difference is the use of technology and the way it is described.
In Algernon, there is some innovative neurosurgery but the novel is mainly focused on the main character's feelings and thoughts.
Utopia however is a typical whodunnit entirely focused on new technologies, robots, holograms etc. developed to the extreme.
Very different approaches for two very good books. Although Utopia kept me turning pages, Algernon will stay with me for much longer.

5.7 (Chinese New Year Sign)

The Partly Cloudy Patriot
by Sarah Vowell
(4 stars)

Sarah Vowell was born Dec. 27, 1969. I was born Dec. 28, 1969. We are both roosters.

Maybe, there is something to be said about sharing a sun/animal sign. I, like Ms. Vowell, love learning and researching stories of history. In her political views, I found a like-minded person that reads between the lines, makes connections, and feels that "A true patriot is by definition skeptical of the government". Unlike the author, I didn't know that these views could land someone a book deal. That's great for her, and I'm happy to have found a new author to read when I'm feeling disconnected from and frustrated by the system and the people who run/abuse it for their own benefit.

For the second part of the task I read Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters. I didn't love it or hate it. The parts about her growing up and before she became very famous were good, but the rest was just ok.
