Religiously. :)

Renee wrote: "I have a whole summer plan, that this genre doesn't easily fit. I'd go with something uniquely American, if Anyone has a suggestion. Otherwise I'm thinking about these..."

It's funny, but I found the book Utopia pretty darn dystopian. ;)

Amy wrote: "Thanks, Monika! Yeah, it's extremely emotional. I have to say though, I'm about a third of the way through, and never have I hated a lead character as much as I hate Amir! Totally well written, 3 dimensional character, but such an assbutt!"

LOL Castiel...

And I agree!

I hate it when that happens!

Just wanted to ask you beforehand whether it's all right if I take your idea??"

Absolutely. :)

How do you do that Faye????..."

I'll be honest - sometimes I fail. ;)

Great looking list! It looks like you could almost double your goal and still achieve it!

I love that you're reading in more than one language, too. I'm trying to reach a point with French where I can read French literature, but thus far I've only managed children's books, heh.

I hear ya, Kassandra. I work at home, so I see my beautiful stack of books sitting right there looking all tempting and stuff while I'm trying to work. It's so haaaard!!

Ohhh, I like it! I often choose my books that way. :D

Sandy wrote: "Glad to hear you weathered that frightful Ontario storm yesterday, Faye. We used to live in and near Angus (several different houses), and remember a few storms which "might" have been tornados. It's pretty scary when it really happens. How close were you to the touch-down? "

Poor Angus! My brother lives near there (Collingwood), but I live a fair distance away, west of Toronto. We just got the rain and high winds.
