**Spring Reading Challenge - 2013**
I am about to startDust as my TBR for September. (I did a little rearranging to fit this in because I cannot wait any longer to read it).
I finished my first September TBR Burial Rites by Hannah Kent

20 years ago when it happened my son ..."
Maybe some comfort to his parents that his story is not forgotten. The book keeps James' story alive so he does not become just another statistic.
Oh, me too, with news on tv.

I can't decide what I'm going to read next, and I may have to accidentally add Glory in Death to my list.

Up next is my first 6. Melbourne Cup, Dick Francis's Gamble.

Wonderful list Janine! I've just finished Burial Rites and absolutely loved it, but wouldn't call it fantasy/paranormal. I listed it as historical fiction as most others have I think:)

Struggling with that category and it was listed on one of your links. Will keep looking.

Oh was it? Well in that case you should use it if you can't find anything else. Not fair otherwise:) Have you read Treespeaker by Katie W. Stewart or anything by Katie?

No, these are not topics I normally read. Will look into it a bit more.

My review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I'll start my Fantasy book Picnic at Hanging Rock sometime today.




Kisscut for 11. September TBR
The Shining Girls for 2. Spring Colour
really enjoyed this one but I'm going to have to read it at least one more time to pick up on detail/questions from what I know now (it's sort of like a book version of Momento)
Floodlinefor 4. New Release - I found this book depressing. Because you could see these characters slipping back to their old lives. Maybe that's why I like crime novels there is always a hero

You're certainly doing well Bette! I don't know if I'd call Picnic fantasy?

Have you read many Terry Pratchett? I've often wondered what his books would be like.

I've read them all. They are brilliant as long as you like the genre.

I called it Paranormal

I've read a lot of Pratchett, and I love them. As Phrynne says, if you like the genre of fantasy with a bit of humour thrown in, they're brilliant.
I have just finished my 7th for the challenge, and my 2nd #8, favourite genre, The Last Winter of Dani Lancing by P.D. Viner

Honestly, me neither, Brenda. But it has been shelved as such. Maybe readers were thinking that because of the 'sequel'. No sweat, I can choose something else; I haven't started it yet. Let me know:)

Yes, me too, a classic. But having read your review recently, it's piqued my interest to read it again.
