Hey! I haven't posted recently, but I did finish 2 books so far in the challenge... now I need to go find the giveaway!

FINISHED:
- A classic: The Thin Man
- A fantasy\sci-fi: Hammerhead

Awesome!

I'm thinking about reading The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett for my classic. It was published in the 1930's, and there are several black & white Thin Man movies made right after that (starring William Powell and Myrna Loy).

In order for my books to count for the challenge, do I have to follow the list in order? Or can I skip around the list?

Thanks for inviting me, Sarah! I'm sure I can find just the right books off my shelves to fulfill the challenge.

I'm a graphic designer by day, total bookworm by night. Pretty much everything I like to do is probably "nerdy". For example, I like to look at books, talk about books, shop for books, blog about books, and borrow books from the library. Haha! Needless to say, I'm excited about this challenge.
