Great start, Mike! I like the link of your last two books. LOL! I will be reading Boy's Life in my next section.

Great to see you throwing yourself in Mike. I think we all will be doing a mad dash of reading in these last few months. Even those of us who started on 1 Jan... all those other books are just so distracting!

Great books! I have All the Light We Cannot See and And the Mountains Echoed high on my wishlist, and I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns which I thought was fantastic.

[Michael]

Thanks for all the support! I am having a lot of fun finding new books to fit the challenges and am wondering how I will find time to read them all.

Peggy: All the Light We Cannot See was such a good book! It was definitely one of the best that I have read recently.

Hi Mike! Welcome and happy reading.

It's fantastic that you've joined in - and you're not going back as of January 1st? Wow, that's impressive! You've chosen some great books, I love Khaled Hosseini.

[Lucy]

Good luck Mike, you've got a nice list of books to start with!
