Thanks Christina! I'm kinda new to challenges so we will see how far I get. Usually I just take the next book of my shelf at home and add as I'm reading it. Now I have to pay attention. Lol

If you like Pr..."I've not read that one yet -- I've read The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents and The Wee Free Men (Discworld, #30) and A Hat Full of Sky -- I'll have to try your recommendation next!

Joanne,
I am starting from the beginning of Pratchett's Discworld series...I have this slight OCD thing where everything has to be in order... :) If you read Good Omens, I hope you enjoy it (I'd feel bad if you thought it was terrible)...

It's like that sometimes. Perhaps we can do a similar challenge soon and then you'll do better:) The main thing is always to read the books you feel like at the moment.
