Where Do I Go? (The Yada Yada House of Hope) by Neta Jackson
This was my first reading challenge, and I enjoyed the experience. The only book not read is one that a publisher's assistant failed to send. (Boo. Hiss. Bad assistant!)
I am amazed at how long my list has grown! I was afraid that I'd bitten off too many titles, but this challenge helped me to chomp through a pile of books. The hardest part of the challenge was making a list three months in advance! Of all the books, my favorites are:
Until We Reach Home,
Rhapsody in Red,
The Rook,
Dark Pursuit, and
One Perfect Day. The most disappointing read is
For the Love of St. Nick by Garasamo Maccagnone. I'm already planning on challenges for my future reading, and I look forward to Katrina's Spring Challenge!
