Updated Message 26 with two more books. I'm 8/25.5. A TREE Grows in Brooklyn -- The Elephant Tree✔03/15/16
13. The Book THIEF -- The Lightning Thief✔03/20/16
Please update 3/25#1 " Of Mice and Men"/ "Four Blind Mice" by James Patterson
I definitely have to concentrate on this challenge a tad more! 22 more to go.
I've got a question,Can I use Catch-22 for A Tale of Two Cities, spying the two/2? Or is that a bit too far fetched?
Angelique, I'm going to leave that one up to you. It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm fine with it if you want to count it. :)I really enjoyed Catch-22 when I read it, but it can be kind of a polarizing book - either you like it or you don't.
Update: 8/25Task 1. Of Mice and Men
Twenty Fragments of a Ravenous Youth by Xiaolu Guo (4 stars)
Twenty FragMENts of a Ravenous Youth
Thanks Cassandra, I think I will use it for now, since I need a bit of incentive to get Catch-22 finished
Update: 9/25Task 10 - JOY Luck Club
Globejotting: How to Write Extraordinary Travel Journals* by Dave Fox (3 stars)
*The link doesn't give the full subtitle, and of course the part I need for this task is in the part that doesn't show here! But the full thing is on the Goodreads page for the book, which you can see if you click the link. Here's the full title and subtitle:
Globejotting: How to Write Extraordinary Travel Journals (and Still Have Time to EnJOY Your Trip!)

19. The Old Man and the Sea An Unsuitable Job for a Woman ("man" is in Woman)
Having trouble with this challenge for some reason. I have read 15 books so far( which is a lot for me), but only 4 can be placed on this list. Maybe next quarter I might be able to make a dent in this challenge.
Just completed #25 (Good Earth) - The Good Father by Diane Chamberlain. I appreciate how the author explained how hard it is for poor parents to take care of their children and the lengths desperation will push a person towards. However, the whole story wrapped up a bit too unrealistically for me. Worth reading, though. 3 stars7/25
Update - 10/25Task 13. The BOOK Thief
When Books Went to War: The Stories that Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptill Manning (4 stars)
20. Where the RED Fern Grows– Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard--FINISHED Message # 120 7/25I also had to change a book for this.. Couldn't get the book. Updated to this --> 21. Island of the BLUE Dolphins- The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
