It's time to sign up for the High Summer Read-a-Thon sponsored by Michelle@Seasons of Reading! The Read-a-Thon will start on Monday, 7/22 at 12:00am CST and finish on Sunday, 7/28 at 11:59pm CST (adjust times according to your time zone).

Here's my plan of action for the week:

character who had my name. Do you know how difficult it is to find
"Bev" in fiction?] (7/22/13)

tried it a month or so ago....Just picked up the audio version--hoping
that will work out better.
I probably won't get through all these...but I'm sure gonna try!

Seems like you have a great list of books picked out, I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Bev, I'm doing that same challenge and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a book with a character named Michelle! I had to go with a common nickname for Michelle...Ellie...and I'm going to read Contact by Carl Sagan. HaHa!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great list there! Thanks for joining me this week. Happy reading!
Michelle: I'm not terribly keen on the Bev that I found. She's not a particularly wonderful character. If I hadn't needed her for the challenge, I would have jettisoned the book by now. But it will be done (before the night's over) and I won't be picking up anymore Detective Sergeant Bev Morriss books (even though there are more).
