In the hopes of getting myself to read more and knocking out some books that I’ve been meaning to read for…ever, I’m doing a 30 books in 30 days challenge. I heard about this recently from a few different blogs and it sounded like a fun idea. Most of the books I’ll be reading are relatively short, but I tried to mix in as many different types and genres as I could. Here is a VERY tentative list of what I’ll be reading over the next 30 days:
- At Work – Annie Leibovitz
- Austenland – Shannon Hale
- The Boyfriend List – E. Lockhart
- A Coney Island of the Mind – Lawrence Ferlinghetti
- Death of a Salesman – Arthur Miller
- Essays in Love – Alain de Botton
- Ethan Frome – Edith Wharton
- Free Will – Sam Harris
- French Milk – Lucy Knisley
- The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making – Catherynne M. Valente
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams
- I Remember Nothing – Nora Ephron
- Interpreter of Maladies – Jhumpa Lahiri
- Kissing the Witch – Emma Donoghue
- The Little Prince – Antoine de St. Exupery
- The Locked Room – Paul Auster
- Looking for Alibrandi – Melina Marchetta
- Maus I – Art Spiegelman
- Nine Stories – J.D. Salinger
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane – Neil Gaiman
- Polaroids from the Dead – Douglas Coupland
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead – Tom Stoppard
- Saga Volume 1 – Brian K. Vaughan

The selections may change based on my mood, the weather, etc. I’ll post a couple updates every week throughout the challenge. I started French Milk by Lucy Knisley earlier today and will (hopefully) finish up before bed tonight.
