2010 Reading through the Seasons

Get ready to read through the seasons again! Last year was insane so I've made some changes. This year it is only four books, one for each season.



Rules:

1. Four books, one for each season.

2. Title must have a season, not holiday, winter, fall, autumn, spring, summer

3. Jan 1 to Dec 31

4. Leave a link to your post about the challenge & I'll add you to the participant list.

Everything else is fairly flexible. Reviews, lists, even a blog is not necessary and books may be used for other challenges. It would be nice if you posted a short summary about the books you read so we can add to our TBR piles/wish lists.



FYI: If you'd like to review your books or even just tell us about them, I have Mr. Linky set up

Winter - Spring - Summer - Fall/Autumn
