#2 Two-Month Reading Challenge (Dec 1 - Jan 31)

[Gisbelle]

Doesn't she? I have finished only 4 so far for this challenge :)

[Angela]

I finished three. ^^ I dont have the time to read, so I try to read a lot on the weekends. ...that doesn't exactly happen though.

[Psylk]

All of you read crazy fast. I have only finished one and a half. Maybe I will read faster once I don't have read textbooks at the same time. I will be waiting a while to get some from the library sadly.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

if we are signing up to host group reads, is that still the reward for finishing first on here??? :)

[Gisbelle]

I guess I have to cancel this arrangement :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Oh, okay! then, Yay!!! I finished this! LOL!
:D Back on December 6th :D

[Gisbelle]

You are impossibly fast :) I still have 4 more books to go. Still don't know what to read for #1

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Ugh, I dug through books for #1

best I could come up with was Treasure Island but I'm not so sure it's the main character with only one leg....but I'll see if i can find something now :D

[Sapir]

Can I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower for 1#? There are legs on the cover.

Looking good J :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thanks! For number 3, if I am just going to do a book with a white cover does it still have to do with the holiday season or can it just have a white cover?

[Gisbelle]

No just white is good enough

would work? Her best friend/boy friend is away in the army (or bootcamp - I don't remember which).

it's a very good book.

[Gisbelle]

I agree with Trisha :) I think it was boot camp.

[Psylk]

Oh either one of those might work. I will have to see which my library can get.

Thansk guys!
