I plan on reading
for "book with the letters 'F', 'I', and 'T' in the title/author's name",
for "a book which you've read before" and I'm currently reading
for "a book by an author you haven't read a book by previously"
I'm about to finish
which can count for "Read a book by an author you haven't read a book by previously.". And I just started
which can count for "Read a book which you got for free.". I'll add books as I finish these. And if you want to buddy read any of these just come to me.
(On a side note I'm about to finish
. Do you guys think I should include it? We could get about a 100 pages out of it.)

BUT, I am glad to say that I think it's over! I'm almost done with one book, zooming through Harry Potter, and about to start another :D

It was great!! I can't wait to get to the next one, but I have to admit, Goblet of Fire and the Half-Blood Prince are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. Those were my favorites of the movies!
