September 2009 Reading Challenge

[Amelia]

College in Florida .... I think the other schools (high/middle/elementary) have started too.

[Missk2u]

I am a long time lurker to this group but have never participated in a challenge. THis sounds fun. Am I too late to participate?

I am sorely lacking in the Goodreads friends department.
Anyone care to add me as a friend? I'd love to try and finish the challenge.

Thanks

[RogueHireling]

As I too dont have enough friends (happy to friend more!) I figured I would double up. Plus really only one of my friends is into this genre. =)

Poison Study (Felicia)
Guilty Pleasure (Felicia)
The Laughing Corpse (Felicia)
Daughter of the Blood The Black Jewels 1 (Felicia)
Evermore (Eden)
The Golden Compass (Eden)

Starting there. I will add three more as I go along. =)
(I have to find a friend with You slay me on their read list!)

Hi Token Female Gamer! I have read You Slay Me. I sent you a friend request. :D

[Tammy]

i would love to do this one but i to do not have many friends haha tears.Does anyone want to help me out?

[The Flooze]

Oh, it'll be there Amelia. Have no fear. That's only if Stav bribes me, though! Boo, school. It seems to get earlier every year! I don't think we ever started before Labor Day.

[Amelia]

Nah ah ah! We had a deal Michelle! I read Dead Until Dark and You read Dark Lover! :)

Thank Zeus this is my last year of college!

[The Flooze]

That was dependent upon concurrent outside bribery. Remember, you agreed without having to be bribed? Fool. Muah hah hah hah!

To read

[Jacalyn]

I'll try this one. I have LOADS of friends. The question is do I have books that they've got? Yikes! HAHA Surely in my stack of friends I can find some of these books I've got in my of 250 books to read! (Hey they are almost all on Ann's list because most are theirs! HAHA)

This is going to take some time for me to find books. The stacks in my bedroom are that crazy!

You're welcome Diana :)

Michelle, I'm sorry. The swooning wasn't constant (I'm hoping that's only reserved for very special men with beatiful ..uhm..fruit packages, you know PthePwiththePD.) The Dorian-luvin was just very evident. I'm curious as to what I'll think about this Dorian sex bomb.

And no haha my sister is going by free will (although the last minute preperations sure robbed her of her enthousiasm...) and leaving me here. I think I'll just lock her up and go in her place. Toronto here I come!

Anybody here read the anthology Dates from Hell? Or Personal Demon or No Humans Involved (Kelley Armstrong)? I might swap that against one of my other books cause I was planning on reading them anyway...


Great challenge Yz!

I have already made a change. I am not going to read Undead and Unemployed yet, but instead switch it to Hunting Ground. And I am switching Fire Study to The Looking Glass Wars.

1. BrandyS - Midnight Sins

3. Amber - The Forest of Hands and Teeth
4. Jessica - Hunting Ground
5. Michelle M - The Looking Glass Wars

Actually, the swooning IS pretty constant. I just didn't realize I was that obvious. Hello, more ropes. You thought I was bad with LC and the sheets? Whoa ho ho...

Anywho...
