Anna | 231 comments I finished two more.

The Ring of Solomon (Bartimaeus, #0.5) by Jonathan Stroud - on my TBR for over 6 months (its actually one of the first books I put on my TBR because I didn't even know it existing until I started GR).

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (adult) - owned for over 6 months. Gremlin if you hadn't said it was good and it weren't for this challenge I don't think I would have finished it. The characters and themes are good but the writing was just hard for me to get into. It was also an interesting read in relation to the Unwind series and The Madman's Daughter.

updated #32

Emily (librarylil) | 358 comments Well, I'm not going to finish, but I did finish 2 more! Updated post #13.

The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan TBR list
Call the Midwife Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth continuing a series, last read from the series in Janaury 2014.

It's possible I'll finish one more, but I'm unlikely to finish the 3 I'd need.

Bwaahahaha! You are correct! Apparently my sleep addled brain thought that 8 books scored a silver that morning when I was updating.

But now you've truly earned it. Well done, Natalie!

Gremlin | 966 comments Congrats to Anna, for achieving Bronze! And Congrats to Natalie for achieving a Silver (for real, this time, and not just via spaciness!).
