Hey, Mheghan. How did you like Artemis Fowl? I loved it.

[Megan]

I'm listening to it on audio book, on chapter 4 or 5 I believe. This is only the second audio book I've tried and am really enjoying it. The narrator is great and so is the story. I like this one more than the Percy Jackson books, I just couldn't get into them.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Excellent, Mheghan! You did it perfectly. It's YOUR thread, set it up the way you like and use it to organize your challenges or book reads - whatever. It's all yours :)

Danielle, I loved the Artemis Fowl series!

[Megan]

Thanks Dhestiny, I really needed this! :)

Fantastic! I'm impressed and I'm going to follow your lead to organize my challenges! Thank you sooooo much :)

[Megan]

lol, I had so many sticky notes floating around my purse trying to keep everything organized, but I like this system much much better :) Also, for my yearly and 6 month challenges, people post so often it was hard to find my own posts anymore. I think this will work much better for me.

Megan, Which ones have you read? I can see we like the same books. I've read quiet a few on your list and am planning to read quite a few more.

The books I've read in the series aren't listed, just the books I need to read to complete/get up to date on the series are. For example, I've read the first 7 BDB books but will have to read book 8 when it comes out.
