I ended up giving up/did not finish Back to the Moon by Homer Hickam. When I went to read Breaking the Idols of Your Heart by David Allender, I discovered that I had already read it when it was originally published as Bold Purpose. Unfortunately, it was not clear that it was the same book re-published with a different title.

Even though I didn't complete my original list, I feel pretty good about what I was able to read during the last 3 months.

So annoying when a book is re-published under a different title! They really should make it abundantly clear on the front of the book.

You did a great job this spring -- lots of reading! Hope you have a great summer!

Nice job!

Ditto on annoying re-pubs! I've had that happen a couple of times and usually once I'm a third of the way through.
