50 book challenge

[trinnifer]

At this point last year, I was up to ten books. Well, ten and a half; I had one in progress. For 2008, I'm now up to sixteen! Still not halfway there, which I probably should be at this point in the year, but I'm doing better than last year.

• Twilight - Stephenie Meyer
  
• New Moon - Stephenie Meyer
  
• Next - Michael Crichton
  
• Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry - Mildred Taylor
  
• Eclipse - Stephenie Meyer
  
• Crank - Ellen Hopkins
  
• The Code: Baseball’s Unwritten Rules and Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct - Ross Bernstein
  
• Valiant - Holly Black
  
• Peeps - Scott Westerfeld
  
• My Best Friend's Girl - Dorothy Koomson
  
• The Camera My Mother Gave Me - Susanna Kaysen
  
• Miracle's Boys - Jacqueline Woodson
  
• Summer Knight - Jim Butcher
  
• Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools - Jonathan Kozol
  
• One Day at Fenway - Steve Kettman
  
• So Yesterday - Scott Westerfeld

Soon, I will be adding Breaking Dawn to this list! I've also heard good things about Moving the Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit of Everything, so I'll have to pick that up when I go to get Breaking Dawn. Also on the to-read list:

• Feeding the Monster: How Money, Smarts, and Nerve Took a Team to the Top - Seth Mnookin
  
• A Tale of Two Cities: The 2004 Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry and the War for the Pennant - Tony Masarotti
  
• The Other Boleyn Girl - Phillippa Gregory
  
• The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde
  
• Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood

And various items from my classroom library, which it seems may be living on my bookshelf at home for longer than I expected, as I might not have my own classroom next year and high schoolers don't have silent reading time anyway. Plus, most of my books are meant for middle schoolers. What do high school kids read, anyway?
