The Pub Challenge 08

I've seen a lot of posts for this challenge recently, and to be truthful, I didn't actually expect to join this one. Any more, it seems, I very rarely read books when they are first published. Part of it's the money aspect. I just haven't had the money to spend lately. And new books are SO expensive. So lately, I've been doing a lot of library runs. And I love the library, but sometimes it's hard to get "new" books. It seems there is always a waiting list.

But there are a few books/authors that I will make an exception for. And they are coming out soon. So I thought I would join this challenge. Mostly because I just can't seem to stop myself!!

Michelle, from 1 More Chapter is hosting The Pub. (Doesn't she always have such fun ideas for challenges??)

Here are the rules:

Want to read more books that are published in the current year? You’ve come to the right place! This challenge lasts all year. The rules are simple:

• Read a minimum of 8 books published in 2008. (Library books are acceptable!)
• No children’s/YA titles allowed, since we’re at the ‘pub.’
• At least 4 titles must be fiction.
• Crossovers with other challenges are allowed.
• Titles may be changed at any time.

See? It DOES sound fun!! Besides, I love to read the reviews of all the "new" books out there. I would hate to run out of something to read, you know!!

Since I don't know all the books that are coming out this year, I'm only going to give you a partial list. These are the books I KNOW I want to read this year:

• Duma Key: A Novel by Stephen King (Jan 08)
• The Bleeding Dusk: Gardella Vampire Chronicles Book III by Colleen Gleason (Feb 08)
• Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult (Apr 08)
  
  

I'm sure I will find 5 more books to add to the list sometime this year!! I also want to read Chosen: A House of Night Novel by PC Cast and Kristin Cast coming out in March. But since it's considered YA, I can't add it to the list :(

Any one else??
