Inklings Mini-Challenge

Dates: January 1st through December 31st

Host: Becky

For details: Click here.

The Challenge (put simply): Read two books by J.R.R. Tolkien and two books by C.S. Lewis.

Reasons for joining:

1. I'm tired of being put to shame by my 10-year-old daughter. Annie has read The Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and The Silmarillion by Tolkien, as well as the all the Narnia books. I have read none of these.

2. These books are so cherished by so many that I would be a fool not to get them read eventually, right?

My list (though finishing all of these is probably wishful thinking on my part):

*The Fellowship of the Ring

*The Two Towers

*The Return of the King

*The Magician's Nephew

*The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

*The Horse and His Boy

*Prince Caspian

*The Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader'

*The Silver Chair

*The Last Battle

Wow...this may be a "mini-challenge" to most, but for me it qualifies as the full-fledged deal!
