I have been participating in that challenge for about two years:) I am going to read 200 books this year, 50 more than last year. I am way ahead of schedule.
Creep was really good, love the cliffhanger!

That's impressive! Will add Creep to my list! Now I know where to go when I have ? About the challenge, etc. I like the around the world group too. I am doing the Circumnavigator, that doesn't have a deadline, but there are 200 countries listed, and subgroups for regions/countries of just Britain, or Italy etc. I am just collecting titles for countries right now, and have started filling in my map. I think I have been to ten or eleven. My readng is really concentrated on Canada, the US, and England, as far as settings go. It is good to broaden the horizons a bit.

I thought this was really interesting news.I just ordered this book from the library
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowlingbecause of coming across this news article.

I'm excited, I'm a fan.
@Sheila - I have The Cuckoo's Calling reserved at the library - when I hit the button, there were 4/6 copies available...but before they could process it, all of the books were borrowed...so now I have to wait...lol!
Hopefully you got in before the crush Dee. Now you would be something like 400th in line for it. Too funny.
