Good luck with your challenge, it looks like you're off to a good start.Most of all... enjoy the reading.
You can do it Kristie Faye! WE only need to be done with 16 books by the end of the month. Then we will only need to read 7 books in December. (8 books a month)
Emilee, I love how you have this all worked out :)!
Why only 7 in December? 8 books a month for 12 months is 96 books - so we're lacking 4 that has to be put in somewhere - or am I missing something?Good luck Kristie Faye, I want to read The True story of Hansel and Gretel at some point - it sounds really good!
So I am slacking....I finally got a job 2 weeks ago and yesterday was the first day I had a chance to read.
yea so job is kicking my butt....rarely have time to log in.....I suck, but I'm trying to find a balance....So my challenge....

This week is spring break. I hope to get some major reading done!!!!
I got a few done during springbreak. It's a nice break for parents too!
12. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne13. A Killing Frost by R.D. Wingfield
Its slow going right now!
16. BoneMan's Daughtersby Ted DekkerHopefully this is how fast I will get to read this summer. Next is I am the Messenger then onto my summer ritual of re-reading Harry Potter!!!!!
17. I Am the Messenger by Markus ZusakI liked this book well enough.....I loved the story, the concept, even the characters. I know it was written for teens, but I don't get the Hype behind it. I felt The Book Thief was much much better! Can anyone help me out with it
19. The Last Child20. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
I need to pick up the pace.....I have been away and sick for the last 2 weeks.
21. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Now you've made me want to re-read all the HP books. And the movie is coming out soon!

I can't wait, either. My daughter just bought advance tickets so we can go see it at midnight. We always go together - tradition!
It's a nice tradition, Franny. I saw all the previous movies with the same group of friends, but I moved to another city last year so to this one I'll have to go by myself.
Me and my boyfriend go to the midnight showings as well..... last time we went with a group of friends but this time we will be solo......I have come to accept, I won't get book 6 done in time for the midnight showing, but it's not going to stop me from trying.
I haven't had time or a book that has truly caught my interest for a while! but I forgot to add a couple.29. Shanghai Girls A Novel
30. Sworn to Silence
31. The Time Traveler's Wife
Ok....I've been missing and trying to read....but here are some additions32. Dead Until Dark
33.Saving Fish from Drowning A Novel
34. A Quiet Belief in Angels
35. A Disobedient Girl A Novel
36. Going Bovine
