I've got my list (as soon as I finish up the current book)

Harvest Home by Thomas Tyron
Midnight Movie by Tobe Hooper
Endurance by Jack Kilborn
The 13th by John Everson


That should put me in the home stretch of my 100 books in 2011 challenge, with about 6-8 books left for the year.

If you want to check out my readings for this year, go here:

    Haha ... that will teach me for assuming it was a typo in the subject line!

    Just finished "What the Night Knows" by Dean Kootz...very good!

    I must admit I don't do books by season.
    I just read whatever sounds good at the moment. Currently I am reading the Harry Hole books by Jo Nesbo (all really really good) but I am hoping to be done before Halloween. After that I will probably go back to finally finishing "An Echo in the Bone" (by Diana Gabaldon).
    And then, who knows? I have nearly 100 books in my book shelves that I haven't read yet. I am also looking forward to the new Cecelia Ahern novel which is released later this month.
    I'm a total bookworm.

    I'm the same way LOL.

    I've got What the Night Knows on my list to read, but I've got a few books I need to read that I got from authors in exchange for reviews on Amazon and B&N first.

    I've also got the Jo Nesbo books, just haven't delved into them yet. The fact that I have an eReader means my To Be Read list is currently longer than my life expectancy LOL.

    My current book is Fuzzy Navel by J.A. Konrath, which is funny and graphically brutal at the same time. It's the 5th book in the Jack Daniels series...I'm reading them in a timeline of sorts as they books appear in Serial Killers Uncut by him and Blake Crouch.

    Yeah, I often have a book with me too. (But less so since I got my iPhone). I have also noticed that I've been reading a lot less since fall TV started again. And I've been reading less since I started working (but then I was a lit major so that is no surprise). I wish I could get paid for reading books.

    The Jo Nesbo books are really good. I started with the most recent then (The Leopard) back in March. Was a bit of a coincidence. I ran out of reading material and had a 6 hour train ride ahead of me, so I went to the bookstore in the station and ended up buying that one. After that I started with book #1 and read them all in chronological order. All I'm missing now is The Snowman (I already have the book, just haven't read it yet) and the one that just came out here yesterday (Norwegian title is Gjenferd) - which I don't have yet and will probably try to get from the library or something, as it's a bit expensive at €22 (about $30) for the hardcover.

    Currently finishing up "The Gulag" by Anne Applebaum and Matthew Kelly's "The Rhythm of Life".

    I have also started The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, How to Listen When God is Speaking by Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Chosen and Cherished: Biblical Wisdom For Your Marriage by Kimberly Hahn. I read them when the mood strikes me again.

    If I read one book at a time, I'd probably be done with all of them by now!!

    Did you ever read the "Long Run" by Matt Long? It's a true story about a NYC firefighter who got creamed by a bus and then came back "from crash victim to elite athlete".
