December total: 28 1/2, I think

Total points so far: 103, I think

I second the Scarlet Pimpernel. I think I’ve already seconded The Woman in White, but just in case, I second that too.

Looking forward to another year with Ravenclaw!

And audiobooks are still books. It was my understanding that they counted. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to participate, as that’s my primary reading medium.

I also second Neverwhere

I second Frankenstein, Rebecca and Dark Matter

I second There There

I nominate The Iliad. I second The Master and Margarita, The Woman in White, Gone With The Wind, Dr Zhivago, and Picnic at Hanging Rock

I second Rebecca

I second Interview with a Vampire

I also second Annihilation

I second Dracula, Mansfield Park, the Haunting of Hill House and Animal Farm

I second Dark Matter
