★ g.k. ★ wrote: "Just finished updating challenge and I have completed the challenge. :D"congrats!!! I keep forgetting to add my books. Now that I'm knee deep in Tower Teams I should be able to knock out quite a few.
I still haven't thrown the randomizer at my books. Need to get on that one!
Good for you gk!@Cynthia - my problem are the longest on my tbr list. Cuz there is a reason that I haven't read them yet...gotta work on those. It's a good thing I picked a 5 year time frame. It may take me that long :D

@Becca - Across the Universe and Clockwork Angel are both really good (in totally different ways). It was good too, but looong. Good luck with the challenge.
thanks! I'm excited! These are all books that I've been wanting to read, but other things just keep coming up :)
Just joined this group and was looking for a challenge to get stuck in to. I love making lists, but we'll see whether I can stick to the plan or not! :) The random ones will be done on an ad hoc basis, when I need a bit of, well, randomness.Most of these are books I already own, either in paperback or on my Kindle.
