Lit Flicks Challenge – Update

The Lit Flicks Challenge – Update on My Progress

THE RULES OF THE CHALLENGE:
1. Challenge runs from September 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009.
2. Read 5 books/pieces of literature that have been made into movies.
3. Then watch at least 2 of the movie adaptations of the works you read.

My list was:

• Love in the Time of Cholera
• A Walk to Remember
• White Oleander
• Nights in Rodanthe (Being released TODAY!)
• The Notebook

-with an alternate of::

• Marley & Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So… my new list is:

• Love In the Time of Cholera - Read and reviewed
• The Kite Runner - Read, watched film and reviewed.
• Marley & Me – Read the book last year.  I need to re-read it and be ready for the movie release around Christmas!
• Atonement – Watched the movie… just need to read the book and review.
• Nights In Rodanthe - I can’t even believe that I never made it to the theatres.  I totally suck.  Will the video come out in time?  I doubt it.  Re-Read in November.
• The Road - Read and reviewed.  Will the movie be out in time for me to post about the movie version of this book?
• The Secret Life of Bees – Read the book in November… still haven’t made it to the theatre.

Well, I don’t sound very organized in my plan for my challenge… do I?  Well, I’ve got until February… YOU NEVER KNOW… I just may meet this challenge.  Is anyone else doing it?
