That's an interesting mix.
Les mis will take a little while - the man must have been one who was easily distracted, that's the only way i can explain the various digressions from the story!
Intrigued by A History of the World in 6 Glasses - Tom Standage, that's an interesting thesis.

Thanks Helen! I tried to mix it up and adhere to the challenge at the same time. I kept contemplating back and forth if I should put Les Mis on the list or not, but I decided I'd forge ahead. I'm really excited to begin the challenge!

Welcome to You'll Love This One! I'm thrilled to see you ready to participate in the challenge.

We have another April in the group. Could you change the title of this thread and add something to your name to help us differentiate between threads? It could be Musical April, or April *musicbliss*. If you're unsure of how to do that, let me know and I will edit it for you.

Thanks!

[April]

Thank you both! Yes, I've changed it.

Excited to begin!

You've got a great variety and I've already added a few to my tbr. I hope you review the books, I'm looking forward to your thoughts on them.

Hi April. Great list of books. I am reading your Z author book for my B title. It is great! I hope you will like reading it when you get to it as I am liking it now.

I thought the same thing about this one, commented on by Helen: "Intrigued by A History of the World in 6 Glasses - Tom Standage, that's an interesting thesis."
