This month was a real challenge, since I am so time poor. Another time, if I could, I would have loved to add in a comic of each of the actual heros whose classification I was reading for. I quite like comics, and a lot of the modern Marvel and DC ones are very readable.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Owl and Ace!!

[Sally906]

Well done all those who finished. I didn’t quite make it — am half way through my last one and really enjoying it..

Captain America – Read a book set in the USA

And Michelle, what an incredible effort! You definitely ticked off the medium level! :) I don't think I even get 6 read any month, and I don't have any kids (well save for those 10 special ed teenagers I teach lol!), let alone a newborn!

Well done to you girlfriend! :)
