It has been such a grey, wet, chilly and dready day that I even skimp on a visit to the library! Not that I needed extra books or anything since I’m pretty much got lots lined up for the next 3 months! Reading with Style (Summer Challenge) has officially started and am being challenged evermore to read ‘higher lit’ stuff!! What’s on the line this season for me:
*A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth (let’s see if I can actually get it read in 3 months! It’s just under 1,500 pages and the font is absolutely tiny! I may need my eyes check at the end of it. I’m on page 21, at the moment, LOL)
*Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
*Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
*The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Euginedes
*Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Etc… (I’ve barely scratched the surface here) There are a total of 30 books to be read within 3 months to complete the challenge. I do usually complete it but… I’m challenging myself to read even thicker and harder books this time around. What am I getting myself into!?!?
For today, to make up for missing our library visit, we made some cookies **yum!** and by the way, I’m a Bushell’s gal 😉

I love M&M cookies Yum! Good luck with your challenge – that is pretty ambitious!
Yeah, maybe a bit too ambitious. LOL, I always do that! Let’s hope I’ll finishe at least 1, I’ll be happy with that.
Wow, that’s a serious challenge there–A Suitable Boy is a whopper! I still haven’t read any Pasternak or Eugenides, but I did see the latter speak here a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I shall have to seek out the Marriage Plot 🙂
yeah, I think I’m being overly ambitious here. But, you know, aim big and all that ha ha ha.
