I finished another task finally. I read Tamar A Novel of Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal for task 20.2. It was really really good. :)
I <3 The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and I'm glad you did too!Yeah, I was super lucky about Catching Fire. :)
Finished Catching Fire for task 25.2 - a dystopian book. I was lucky enough to grab an ARC of this at ALA. IT was AMAZING! I love this series and cannot wait for the 3rd book now.

Jen, I suggest run away from it! It was like a really bad train wreck, only you wanted to run away and cry not stay and watch.
But of course I know my curiosity would force me to read it... so it's up to you!

I know! I listened to the audiobook too.. what a yucky book. Did you get to the sex part yet, I think that's when I was like WTF!
I finished I Am the Messenger (5 stars) and The Double Bind (1 star) for task 15.8. I agree with my friend I am Messenger was amazing and I really didn't like The Double Bind.
I just finished What the Moon Saw for task 15.3 - I read the whole book outside on and off today and yesterday. It was a fantastic book!
Haha, I just instantly thought of those two as separate entities, now that I think about it it would've been comical to see them both on the screen as a married couple.
For task 15.2 I read A Map of the Known World - which I hated btw. So, most of casting is based off of actors I dislike, but think would be perfect for the annoying characters of this books. Cora - Kristen Stewart (why does she have to share my first name?)
Damian - Corbin Bleu
Rachel - Anna Kendrick
Helena - Ashley Tisdale
Helena's boyfriend (no I can't remember his name) - Lucas Grabeel
Josh (Rachel's crush) - Zac Efron
Cora's mom - Meryl Streep (I do like her, but I think she'd be perfect for the mom)
Cora's dad - Nick Moranis
Now I'm off to read a book I will enjoy...
I just finished The Demon's Lexicon for task 15.1 - I would love to go to London, England. Here's a few of the places I'd visit:
1. Buckingham Palace
2. Royal Botanical Gardens
3. Hampton Court Palace
4. Tower of London
5. The London Eye
6. British Museum
7. Tate Modern
8. National Gallery
9. Natural History Museum
10. Madame Tusssauds
Lots of stuff to do in London!
Just finished task 5.9. I read Candle Man, Book One The Society of Unrelenting Vigilance which was a crime thriller. I received an ARC copy of the book and really enjoyed it. Hopefully I'll finish another book or two today for some bigger points.
Just finished task 5.5 - I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and really enjoyed it. I've been too obsessed with my book blog to read a lot lately, but I'm hoping to get another book or two read today. :)
Just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for task 10.7 - it was the 6th book in the series. This was my second time reading it and this time I listened to the audiobook - which was very well done. Definitely inspired me to get some cleaning done in order to finish it.
Just finished task 25.8 - read two books by 2 different goodreads authors. I read The Forest of Hands and Teeth and Raven, both of which I enjoyed immensely.
I create a list that I keep here on goodreads under writing. That way I can easily switch around/cross off books as I go. It's up to you. This one is so big that I haven't been posting my updated list often. If you want to share more of a review, I suggest just discussing the task you completed and then put an updated total points.
Are you talking about 25.1? 25.3 is a book from Cythia's and Lori's shelf. I'm using Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Pride and Prejudice for task 25.1.
I loved that book Erin! I hope you enjoy it. :)
