Just completed #9 Body of Water - The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. Good continuation of the story. My only complaint is that sometimes important story points get lost in the quick prose. Definitely worth reading. 4 stars

Glad to see you jumping in on so many challenges, Jacqueline! I forgot to mention that any books you've read this year count, even if you read the book before officially joining the challenge.

I also just finished The Daylight Gate! I really liked this book, despite the reviews I had heard. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending, but I liked the mix of history and fictional retelling.

I am going to use it for the architecture category.

How did you like this one? I read The Rosie Project and I really enjoyed it - but I'm not quite sure if I'd like to read the sequel.. I liked the end of the first one and it felt like 'finished' to me

[Merja]

I liked The Rosie Effect a lot. I cried, giggled, laughed out loud while reading it. Of course there's some things that could have left out but ain't that the situation with every book? :D
