Wrap Up - ARC Reading Challenge

Although I will continue to read ARC's throughout the year, having now read and kept track of 26 of these to reach the "Gold" level for the ARC Reading Challenge, I am going to call this one complete.  This is a great challenge for keeping you honest and reading those ARC's that publishers are so kind to send us all!  Here's a list of the books I read for this challenge:

• 01. Angel and Apostle by Deborah Noyes
• 02. One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
• 03. Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt
• 04. Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein
• 05. Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff

• 07. Heresy by S.J. Parris
• 08. Critical Care by Theresa Brown
• 09. White Cat by Holly Black
• 10. The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow
• 11. Still Missing by Chevy Stevens
• 12. Imperfect Birds by Anne Lamott
• 13. Dead End Gene Pool by Wendy Burden

• 24. The One Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard Morais
• 25. Century Book #1: Ring of Fire by P.D. Baccalario
• 26. The Whisperers by John Connolly

Sadly, I really hated a bunch of these, although some of them were excellent.  Standouts are Hellhound on His Trail, The Swimming Pool, The One Hundred-Foot Journey, and The Whisperers.  I won't revile the ones I hated again - if you read my reviews you'll find them soon enough.
