Congratulations, Laurel!

Now you and Angie can decide if you want to do a second round, upgrade to a Fancy level, or simply rest in a job well (and quickly!) done :)

I might do a second round . . . but I don't think I'm up for the Fancy level. Speling not my forte lol

[Hillary]

I'm in even though I failed at the last one, but that was because I was a slacker about reading in general towards the end of the year and because I was reading more adult than YA to play. :P

I will do the "Keep it Simple Stupid" level because I don't do resolutions and if I did do the fancy level it would be ridiculously long and need to involve more non-ya than 2. :P

Finished:
(Audlt)1/10 (YA) 1/19 (YA) 1/27 (YA) 2/26 (YA Loophole) 3/17 and the last one... (YA) 3/19

Hi Jamie! Here are couple of ideas!

F - or ..."

Thanks, Grem! I'll be taking two of those suggestions. It's a good thing I hardly ever read the popular authors or I'd be screwed lol

Sure thing, Shanna_redwind! As long as the books that you read fall into the guidelines of the challenge, I'd absolutely count them. :)

[Ashley]

[Shanna_redwind]

I've read Marooned! and The Martian (Non YA 1/2) both for M's so far. Post 111

[Diane]

Finished #3 Why did I wait so long!!?? Now I am in the dilemma of wanting to read the other books in this series instead of finishing the Challenge.

[Shanna_redwind]

Read by Andrew Klavan for my 'K' letter. Pretty exciting book, with action all the way through. Post 111

[Ashley]

Read two more books A and U and updated post 6

3/9

[Brandi]

Just finished (liked ALOT! I think it has a Lux feel to it for those that have read that series). That is my third book in the challenge and since I'm half way through and still have a couple of months, I'm going to start the second book in this trilogy before diving into more new authors. Updated post #73

[Barb]

Finished #5. Updated post #21.

I think I've already got book #6, but I have to read a library book first.

I know, right, Diane? I should warn you that (IMO) this series just keeps getting better.

[Diane]

That is what I hear and I am glad I picked it up for this challenge. I am reading right now and I feel like it is going to be another series that I will be loving this year.

[Anna]

Ok, so I think I'm going to do a fancy level as planned but also a simple one.

For the fancy level I finished for W.

For the simple level I finished &

And can I use as a loophole book? It is a collection of short stories. I have read stuff by half the authors but the other half are new to me.

This one is more quirky and humorous. I don't think it will make you cry.

I'd allow it, Anna! :)

[Anna]

Thanks! You updated the wrong Anna though.

[Shanna_redwind]

Did another M. The Fox Inheritance by Mary E. Pearson.

Didn't even realize that it was a book 2 until I looked it up on Goodreads and saw it there.

I'm message 111

[Jessabeth]

I finished Gone Girl. Seemed like that took forever. Honestly if it hadn't been for this challenge I would've stopped at 50%.

I also forgot to ask if I can count Hex Hall since I hadn't read that author before? If so that is 3 books for me so far.

Updated post # 71

[Ashley]

Read my B book and updated post #6.

I'm 4/9

Finished #3 - .

Of course, Jessabeth! As long as Hex Hall is by an author you haven't read before, you can count it :)

And I'll count Gone Girl as your non-YA read.

[Anna]

Oh, oh and I forgot to add that I got a new job! So resolution also complete!

I start Feb 9th. I'm going from working part time to full time so I'm thinking that my reading time will take a hit unfortunately but you have to take the bad with the good, I guess.

[Diane]

Congrats on the job! I hope you enjoy it though jobs usually cut into reading time :)
