Way to go BJ. Dee's got some reading to do to catch up to you. :) I'm plugging away still with 'Child Star' by Shirley Temple Black. It's 562 pages or so and I'm 300+ into it. Her memory is good but she also includes $ figures for contracts, what the studio made that year, etc which she could never have known at 6 years old. I'm finally up to her being 13.

Enjoy! It was our county fair this week. My Dad gave me their season tickets and I got to see Billy Currington, Luke Bryan and Eric Church in concert.
I am enjoying the time I get to read, but more, I am enjoying the time I am spending with my now 4 month old [today:] nephew. We went to a party on the coast. Watched the sun set on the water. Eat good food, drank good mixed drinks, my sisters and I. Its been a great vacation. Great summer spent in San Diego! B/c in Hemet the temps have been killer. 111+!!!

Reward: 4 new or 8 used
Bonus: Double pages if one of the characters in the book does something extreme - it could be a sport (i.e. car racing, or sky diving); or something like giving up their life and relocating without knowing what to expect!
Do rereads count? Or is this only for your TBR pile?
Congrats, Dee! The new challenge is perfect for a book on my TBR list.And Melissa, we're okay with counting re-reads.
@Melissa- - totally re-reads, but you have to re-read the entire book, not just portions of them!
Hmm! My reading seems to be out-of-sync with the themes of these challenges - earlier this month I read two books that fit this theme perfectly!! Good challenge, Dee!
it was that or national cheesecake day that is later this week...and my currently eating regime won't let me eat cheesecake, as much as i love it...
