I did like it! Weird concept and its weird how a picture can change someone so much! If you have read it you know what i mean by that.

Oh! I thought you were just starting for a second Jodi. I see you read another book. I will update the list (:

[Jodi]

Thanks Adriana. I did join the challenge late, probably in the spring some time. This would be a hard challenge to keep on top of everyone, with people like me joining at all different times. I was just editing my original post and then decided to put a new post every time. It was too hard to find the original post.

[Jack]

Are those all from the Goodreads 100 list Jack?

[Jeri]

I'm going to really try to make my goal! Just finished The Secret Garden, as I never read this as a child. Really enjoyed it. I'm now at 4/9. I'm in the mood for another childhood classic, so I'm going to start Anne of Green Gables now.
