You know what books you've been reading, and you just post the updates in here. I've run this challenge on other websites, and basically you read the book, add it to your list, and update it. I keep a list for review on my blog in a sticky note on my computer. Not really a photo. You can number your list, you can leave a total at the bottom, and, of course, you can track them on Goodreads. (:

Updated - I'm at "lucky" number 13 now.
Updated! I usually read more than this, but I'm so busy with school, work, the convention that I volunteer with, and quilting - I don't know where the time goes! Oh, and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Yay. Maybe if I find some books on tape, I can get more "read". Do books on tape count toward our goal?
Mod
Yeah, a lot of people didn't like the book in my class either. I was mad at the ending, because I felt like that was a cop out.
Mod
Apparently, the "sequel" gives him a name. I rather like him nameless, personally.

Updated again!
