Level 1 of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2011

McKris10, I'm pretty sure as long as you finish it in 2011, it's okay. Well, I'm hoping that's true because I have a few books in various stages of completion. But, I'm sure most people doing this challenge have a few unfinished books, too and want to count their books. So, I'm sure the answer will be yes. (Please, can the answer be yes?)

That sounds kind of unfair to me. You can always get the page count of the "real book" version of an audio book from GR. I don't listen to audiobooks, but I really don't get why people have problems with it. How can something be cheating when it (audiobooks) takes longer than to read a "real" book? Isn't cheating supposed to be taking the easy, faster, shorter way to get an advantage? Audiobooks aren't any of those.

I'm the only one at work today and plan on reading during my 30m lunch and my 10mbreak (and mayb e sneak a page here and there). And since I did a bunch of housework yesterday, I will probably read this evening. Or at least during the commercials for How I Met Your Mother and Hawaii 5-0. I need an Alex O'Loughlan shirtless fix.

1.Dial M for Murder.
2. Sex with the Queen: 900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, and Passionate Politics

That is some title. Was the book any good?

That is some title. Was the book any good?"
It's sort of a history montage and I am enjoying it (I'll finish it tonight so I went ahead and added it long as I was here). Occasionally she lapses into a sentence that sounds like it was written for a school thesis but for the most part very readable and in some places you find yourself saying "how the heck did she uncover THAT?". I read her other one which was about sex with kings and liked it also.
