2.2. Birthday- Outlander Based on Elise's list. I tried to read this in April and failed, so here's for round two!
8.1 Maybe . . . - Bumped Just picked this up at the bookstore. YAY!
10. Reader's Choice- Water for Elephants Have to read the book before I go see the movie!

Progress: 1/3

May 3: Just finished Bumped after an all-nighter with it last night and the last section tonight. SOOOOO GOOOOOD! Granted, I love dystopias and Megan Mccafferty is a writing goddess, IMHO, but still- it was just a fascinating, well-written book.
