I'll double-check with Karen, but I don't believe so, Carmen.

Sad part is.. i don't even remember tagging half of these books >_<
lol Eni. I know the feeling. With my books I had to go and work out what they were again... haha... which is exactly why I wanted this challenge as otherwise I would just never get to them :o
And The House Girl BOM starts today/tomorrow so if you join that read you can get the Bonus - "No Suspension" status for the challenge!
I am really interested in Cooking With Bones too. Someone nominated it as a BOM one month.

the only one i remember putting there was Parasite >_< yeah, when i saw that i got The House Girl i remember seeing it in the newsletter. I guess i'll start with that one =) (OH GAWD OH GAWD OH GAWD I JUST READ THE DESCRIPTION AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I TAGGED IT >_<)anyway.. yeah that's probably how i tagged the Cooking with Bones.. i usually tag a bunch when i vote for the BOMs.

@Eni
Bahahahaha. Well I hope you enjoy The House Girl now that you've comitted yourself to reading it ;)
I'm about 25% through and it is going pretty well.
You have reminded me about Parasite. I loved the Newsflash trilogy. I think I'll nominate Parasite for July BOM now the nominations are open!

@Karenyes! i shall read it! just need to find courage >_<
Ohhhhh i would vote for Parasite =D and i'm still missing the last one from Newsflash trilogy. The first 2 were awesome but sad at the same time :( i cried so much on the first one. (view spoiler)
Welcome Lisa!
A Monster Calls is one of my all-time favourite books. I got it from the library and devoured it in one night and then went out and bought the hardcover edition. I must get it back out soon for a read now winter is coming. It is a great book for a cold night on the couch :)
@Eni - Re: newsflesh, I was a bit concerned about reading book 2 as I didn't think it could possibly be a continuation of the story that was interesting/different enough to be worth reading. But a friend convinced me and I loved it. So I would say the same to you about book 3. I understand what you mean, but it is honestly a great book and ends the series perfectly

I was pretty lucky with mine, all of them are ones I actually do want to read. It was a bit of a surprise given the hundreds on there I dont remember at all! I even own one of them which is a bonus.
I will read 8. However, I need to go through my To Be Read Pile and organize them a bit. I tend to add books to that list and it doesn't reflect what I have lying on the shelf. :-)Nothing but Reading Challenges
