Melissa (melitious) | 254 comments This is a pretty cool challenge. I'll have to go back through my books and see what I've covered.

Afsana (afsanaz) I am finding that there doesn't seemt o be many books published in 2004 or 2005-Only have 1 for 05 none for 04

Misty | 15 comments If you enjoy espionage type novels, you might enjoy Panic. I thought the book was really interesting, and I enjoyed it a lot. On my 2004 list, I have Dead to the World, The Namesake, and the Kite Runner. I am reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, but I would absolutely NOT recommend it. It is beyond stupid. For 2005, I have Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The Book Thief lined up so far.

Afsana (afsanaz) Hi

I wasn't sure if you knew but Harry potter and the order of pheonix was published in 2003 so you could use it and complete the year 2003

Misty | 15 comments Yea, I know. It's a re-read though, and I'm not counting those for the countdown challenge! I'm reading those with my kiddos, but I've already read them before. I'm trying to use only new books for that one! Thanks.
