Damn it, Melanie, you are kicking ass! Way to go, girl!

Thank you kindly **curtsy** -- Where do y'all think I should put The Book Thief, which I'm almost done with?

[Leah]

Well, I looked on the book page for The Book Thief and it says it's YA but it also says it's historical. So maybe in your historical category? I've never read the book so I can't definitively say :)

[Melanie]

historical I guess, but it's not quite romance... Oh well... I'll take the "romance" part out:-)

[Leah]

Eh, just put it under there! No one will even notice. I'm sure people get all dazed when they see your list and scoot right on past it without even reading so they don't get low self-esteem about their reading speed! LOL. As it is, I don't even know what books you've read this month! LOL ;P

Yup! I just look at the top lines of Melanie's updates, gasp at the number of books she's read and run away screaming, LOL.

You're my reading hero, Melanie. I want to be like you when I grow up... Wait! I'm older than you. Darn, there goes my dream. ;)

[Leah]

Same, Dina! The first time I saw her list, I tried to read it but then I got all depressed and stopped trying, LOL.

You are my reading hero, too, Melanie. We should build a statue of you or something!

I will join in also with the goal of reading 10 books total.
