Impressive, Almeta. I think you deserve a nap.
Holy smokes! You read all that in a week?
Basically 3 a day from 6 a.m. to midnight. Nearly all audio. Most short. Had very few outside commitments, so stayed home and read all day. Seemed easy to me.I think those who had to work and take care of family AND read books too are really impressive.☺

You have a point! Still impressive!
WoF name: KristieI was able to finish three books for this toppler!
I read:
The Funhouse
Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body
The Last Black Unicorn
I tried to finish My Real Name Is Hanna, but struggled with it. The formatting was terrible and I think the writing is just ok, so unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it on time. I am still happy with my three though. My expectation was two to three books, so I did pretty well.
WoF TriciaAaah! I almost forgot to report here. I read a total of 5 books.
Inkheart
The Circus in Winter
A Map of Days
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
Daughter of the Pirate King
What a fun toppler!
Wow Almeta - you deserve the challenge trophy!

WoF Laura (lclwags)I read 5 books.
2015 A book with a love triangle Clockwork Prince
2015 A banned book Slaughterhouse-Five
2016 A book from the library City of Ashes
2017 A steampunk novel Infernal Devices
2017 A book you loved as a child Howliday Inn
WoF name annerleeI read Pines as part of the trilogy task.. Why did I take so long before I read this one.. It was excellent!
Also read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress for a modern classic.. Ditto comment above!
The book that scared me was a new release on audiobook, The Siren and The Spectre.. Scary, gruesome, atmospheric? Yes, yes YES!!
For a book set in halloween I read Dark Harvest, which fit the bill exactly. Another excellent read and a new favourite
My play was The Tempest by William Shakespeare. The notes helped my understanding as did Hag-Seed which I read earlier this year... But I really need to see the play itself. Reading was dry and a bit hard going :-(
It was a cool toppler, with some excellent reads for me. Thanks everyone!
(I've been away from home a few days, hence the late posting... Sorry)
