I read City of Bones, it was my yellow. That's it.

I've only read one so far too. I marked done by it and it looked so alone there all by itself.

Wow that is a lot Bluemoon!

I havent even started yet..but i will once im done reading Into the Wild

YAY Welcome to the fun Bluemoon.

@Wendy, what did you think of City of Bones?

I thought it was good. I gave both City of Bones and City of Ashes 4 stars. There were issues I had, but about half way through I couldn't put it down. The ending was intense.

Love Jace, lol.

YAY! :)

Ok.... how do you post the book covers?

At the top of your comment box is a link that says 'add book/author'. When you click that a box will appear that you type the book name into. At the bottom is the option for just a link or for the cover. If you miss that and you just want to change it you hit 'edit post' and in the code that you see in the edit screen you change 'book' to 'bookcover'. You can also click 'other editions' if the cover isn't the same as your book.

City of Glass

YAY!!Thanks Wendy, I have wondered that 4ever... just never asked. My dreams are fulfilled!

Blue:

Shiver

Green:
The Stolen Child

Red:
Fire
Catching Fire
Evernight

Yellow:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Only Revolutions

Orange:
Poisonwood Bible

Grey/Silver:

It's not all YA, but I picked almost all YA books for some reason :)

Boo...I mean yay! Bluemoon :)

Could always start it again once youre done with diffrent books and see how many rainbow challanges we can do within a year :P Im planning on doing that..tho im only 1 book into the challenge ;o

I'm currently reading both The Graveyard Book and The Ask and The Answer for this challenge. At first, I wanted to just read one at once, I like it better when I focus on only one book but I couldn't resist, I badly wanted to know what happened in the Chaos Walking trilogy :P

CHAOS WALKIIIING!!! <3

I'm done with The Ask and the Answer for this challenge. Review (spoilers) heeeere : http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I have finished my red ( ), and my Yellow ( ).

Good job Becca :)

Thanks. It's coming along slowly yet surely.

Geez im so slow compared to you guys ;_; to much to do these past months ;(

Half way there..too bad I put so many books on there that aren't coming out until 2011!

So far, I've read three of mine (The Graveyard Book, Noughts & Crosses, The Ask and the Answer). Going to read The Ring of Solomon: A Bartimaeus Novel or North of Beautiful if this one has not lost its way to my mailbox and will finally be here tomorrow. I should have received it three or four days ago already and still nothing. ;_; MAILMAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

Yay for North of Beautiful.

I'm really enjoying this challenge. Thanks, Heidi I for coming up with it. It's just a lot of fun.
