Fikry is waiting to be read, and it's the next book on my list.·         10 points:  Read a book that begins with the letter “D”.  (Yes, I put 25 letters in jar – I left out X – and drew randomly)Divergent  has been on my to be read list for a while. Hoping to get this one read.·         10 points:  Read a book with a four word title.  An abundance of Katherines has also been placed in my to be read pile. Hoping to get this one read.·         15 points:  Read a book with one of the following words in the title: “mother(s)”, “father(s)”, “son(s)”, “daughter(s)”, or “child(ren)”.  The memory keeper's daughter·         20 points:  Amazon ranks their “most popular authors”, and they update this list hourly.  Based on when you make your book list, look at the top 100 authors, and pick a book to read from one of those authors, but here’s the catch – it needs to be an author new to you…one of the most popular authors, yet you’ve never read them before.  http://www.amazon.com/author-rankI noticed that Stephen King is on this list, and I haven't read any of his before so I will check out what's available from this author. My son is a baseball player so I've picked The girl who loved Tom Gordon

I enjoyed Snowflower and the ?? fan by Lisa See. So I think I will read Shanghai Girls also by Lisa See. ·         25 points:  Read a book with a “Season” in the title.  (I start the challenge in Summer and end in Autumn; many of you start in Winter and end in Spring…so the title of your book should have Summer, Autumn/Fall, Winter, or Spring in the title.)Another one off my pile TBR One summer
