The Summer Reading Challenge

I think today is probably going to be a day of multiple blog updates because I already had a lot to say.  But I can't resist sharing this.

I'm taking part in the Transworld Dan Brown Summer Reading Challenge.  

And I don't actually have to read a Dan Brown book to do it.  Which is good I think.  Never read any Dan Brown and they might surprise me but I've never really wanted to.  That might be a mistake but there are so many books out there I don't have time to read all the ones I really want to!  What do people think of Dan Brown?  Am I missing out?

Anyway I now have to figure out which four of the books I do want!  It's difficult because I've been googling some of the ones I've not heard of and so far I've thought I want them all.  Which is ok because I've only looked at 4 of them so I could just say that's what I'll have and not look at the others.  But I should look at the rest because what if I find one I'd prefer.  Still, it's a nice way to spend a morning!
