Fall Into Reading Challenge Wrap-up

The Fall Into Reading 2009 is coming to a close. My goal was to read 5 books and I finished with 7! Here's what I read: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (for the record, I don't recommend it), Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot, A Death in Belmont by Sebastian Junger, Still Alice by Lisa Genova, Julie & Julia by Julie Powell, The Girl She Used to Be by David Cristofano and Brazen Careerist by Penelope Trunk.

Thanks to Katrina at Callipidder Days for hosting this challenge!

In Their Shoes Challenge Update

Completely unintentionally, the last 4 books I read were memoirs! I have officially completed the In Their Shoes Challenge! YAY!

Here's what I read, with links to my reviews:

So Many Books, So Little Time - Sara Nelson*
Lucky Man - Michael J. Fox
The Audacity of Hope - Barack Obama
Candy Girl - Diablo Cody**
The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch
Sister Salty, Sister Sweet - Shannon Kring Biro & Natalie Biro
Night - Elie Wiesel
The Mistress's Daughter - A.M. Homes
Hannah's Gift: Lessons of a Life Fully Lived - Maria Housden
Three Little Words - Ashley Rhodes-Courter

*I didn't review this as I started my book blog after I had already finished. I'm including it in the challenge though, because I read it after January 1.
**I did not fully review this book. Click on the link to see my tiny remark.

I'm hoping I can read even more memoirs/biographies before the end of the year, considering the large amount I've got waiting to be read on my bookshelf.
