That's me, Terri!!! Nothing I like better than being the center of attention!!! This was an easy challenge for me because 3 of the books I had just started around the first of the month, one was up next and the last one was a book I'd won and really wanted a chance to work it into my stack...so it just worked out!!! I was sorry to see that you only gave Hunger a 3. Since it's a 1001 book I was hoping you liked it more than that!!!

I didn't hate it, but it was not worthy of 4 stars for me. I did like it fine, though and was glad that I finally read it :)
I'm still working on this challenge! It is challenging for me, because a lot of the categories were different than the books I had picked for this month. But I love the categories, and I will enjoy the books I read in each one -- if I can get them all finished by October 31st at Midnight!! Haha!

Thanks for the encouragement! I have a problem of books "popping up" suddenly that aren't on "the list"! That slows down my challenge progress ;)

I Finished -- but just barely! This was a good challenge, BC! It really made me search for books on my list that fit into your list. Good one! :)

“Just barely” meant that I couldn’t find a book with Pink on the cover that I wanted to read! That was a hard one for me - haha! :)

===========================================
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.
A book may be used for only one task, even if it would satisfy the challenge for multiple tasks.
EXAMPLE of a successful post:
Title begins with a letter in BLUE: - Unless You Can Be a Unicorn ✔ - 31May19
If you'd like to be recognized as finishing, the challenge, please post a new comment alerting me to your finish. I do not get notifications when you edit your original post.
