After looking at the books I have on my shelf I think i'll be doing 3 and 4 as I have nothing from the 1940's and none with white covers! :)

I've done the second of three :) for a white cover

Hi Brian,

I just edited message 9 to include

[Brian]

Okay Jodi, updated you! Congratulations!!! 500 pages is quite an accomplishment for being the 2nd of January!

Brian I started this one in December. I was hoping to get it done before the New Year but didn't manage to get it done.

[Brian]

Ahh , well don't sell yourself short! Still an accomplishment! Once books get past 450 pages I get nervous

[Brian]

Nice! You will be done with this in no time at the rate you're going. Awesome job hiccup+brenda (brenda?) lol

[Jannene]

I am finished with . It was a good book but I wanted more from the ending. I wanted my own personal closure which didn't some.

[Brian]

Congrats Jannene, updating you. Sorry you didn't get personal closure, but at least you got something out of it I hope

[Ashley]

I would like to join for 2 !

Yay Jaclyn! you are a rockstar and I went outside and made a couple snow angels to celebrate your accomplishment!
