Good start Lurk. :)

The Farming of Bones sounds really interesting. Have you read it yet?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Hope you enjoy Cutting for Stone. It was one of the books I only heard about through the Around the World group, and I really enjoyed it.

I just wanted to note that even though I finish books out of order, I start them in order. Since I read several books at one,not all of them are for the challenge.

I'm not sure we ever really addressed that question entirely. I looked back over the challenge thread and someone asked if they could read more than one book at a time and my response was they could if they read C & D at the same time but not C & T (examples).

Presumably, one could start C first and D a couple of days later, but finish D before C. (Are we getting confused yet.) So, it would have to be starting order.

That's what I figured. I only count the books if I start them in order. For example, I am also reading a Tom Robbins book next month, but I won't count it in this challenge at all because it isn't in order.

I have always read several books at once. This makes perfect sense to me! : ) Go girl!
You are rolling along!
