Note from Katrina: My mom told me several weeks ago that she’d like to participate in the Spring Reading Thing, even though she doesn’t have a blog. Since she’s a faithful reader and regular commenter here, and since she is, after all, my mom, I told her I would gladly put her list on my blog. That’s what daughters are for, right?
My mom (Doris) is an avid reader and we’re always trading books back and forth. I have no doubt that she’ll easily make it through the books she’s chosen. Okay, without further ado…

Doris’s Spring Reading Thing 2008 List
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy — I read this book before but forgot it. I remember I liked it.
Try Dying by James Scott Bell
The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz
Sweet Revenge by Diane Mott Davidson
Puss and Cahoots by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown — Light reading so I’ll get through on time!
Check out the main Spring Reading Thing post for links to more participant lists!
Good list, Mom, and I’m glad you decided to join. I really liked the Dean Koontz book — he always keeps me turning pages.
I read The Scarlet Pimpernel a long time ago, too, because of the film with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour. I remember enjoying it, but I don’t remember much about it. I should read it again some time.
Hi Doris! How wonderful to enjoy a common passion with your daughter. Welcome to the Spring Reading Thing. It’s fun to see everyone’s lists. I’ll need to add the Scarlet Pimpernel to my growing “get to” list…
Happy Easter to you.
Great list! I must at Scarlet Pimpernel to the future reads also!
What a great list.. I love Dean Koontz I should think about reading some more of his books!
How sweet of you to put your mom’s list up and how fun that she is joining in! You know I’ve never read Scarlet Pimpernel and tend to forget about classics but I should include those sometime. I loved the play!
Great list for your mom!
Great list. I’ve just finished Try Dying and let me tell you: it is a page turner. Happy reading!
How fun your mom is joining in.
I like your list and Try Dying looks really interesting.

hi, Doris! i love that you’re participating! my mom and i are often trading books back and forth as well. well, actually, it’s more one-sided – she’s often lending me her books!
i’ve got both Sweet Revenge and Try Dying on my to-read list (although i didn’t include them on my challenge list). i’ll be interested to hear what you think.
happy reading!
I have never read the Scarlett Pimpernel. I really enjoy looking at everyone’s lists. Great ideas. Happy Easter.
Oh I almost missed this list. I’m glad that I found it.
I enjoy Diane Mott Davidson and Dean Koontz as well.
I loved the Scarlet Pimpernel book. It was good. But I do have to say I liked the Anthony Andrews/Jane Seymour movie better. (But then, I have a crush on AA.)
Great list, I must admit I picked a light reading one too, so I could get through it easily!
