Fall Into Reading Part Deux

As I sit here, NOT reading, I feel compelled to add to my fall reading list to complete my 19 books I plan to read. Here now is my completed list (the additions were mostly poached from other people's lists, so I thank those other players in the reading party):

Bright Young Things, Anna Godberson
Untouchable, Scott O'Connor
Bossypants, Tina Fey
Swamplandia! Karen Russell
The Fallen (Chloe King), Liz Braswell
The Stolen (Chloe King), Liz Braswell
The Chosen (Chloe King), Liz Braswell
Gap Creek, Robert Morgan
Until Proven Guilty, JA Jance
Someday This Will Be Funny, Lynne Tillman
Diary of a Mad Fat Girl, Stephanie McAfee
Forever, Maggie Stiefvater
Bel Canto, Ann Pratchett
State of Wonder, Ann Pratchett
Battle Royale, Koushun Takami
The Night Circus, Ernin Morgenstern
Season to Taste: How I Lost My Sense of Smell..., Molly Birnbaum

There are only seventeen books on this list, which I thought about and decided to leave it at. My goal is still 19 books, but I know there will be times in the next 12 weeks where I will want desperately to go off-list, and that will allow me to do so guilt-free. Plus, I have emails out to people whose taste in books is similar to mine, and I'm sure I'll pick something off those lists. I think I'll try to update on Wednesdays to show my progress.


Update: I finished Bright Young Things on 9/26. I wasn't a fan of how it ended, because I didn't realize it was to be a series so I was annoyed that things didn't wrap up. But I did like the nod to Fitzgerald with the dog's name.

Also, I shot myself in the foot on my reading list Tuesday afternoon, as I stopped in at the library to check for some books that were recommended to round out my list. They didn't have any of them, HOWEVER I bought three at the bookstore downstairs and borrowed seven. Oops!
