My brother and mom have read to kill a mockingbird, and my family watched the movie, but I didn't.

You can get them at the library!"
I haven't been to a local library in ag~es, though.
And there's also about five other books that I still need to finish reading...
I'll just get the e-books that are listed on here if I can off of OnRead, I suppose.
I have just one quick suggestion. I noticed that this entire list is made of young adult or paranormal/supernatural genres. While I know that us adults are in the minority lol, there are some and there might be more interest if the list was a bit more diverse. I have nothing against reading YA or paranormal stuff, but having some other things in there too might help entice more people to join in. Having a longer list to choose from in order to get on the leaderboard certainly can't hurt.
I agree with Stefani. I think there should be more choices or a couple of lists to chose from. I'm making my way through some classics that I haven't gotten around to reading until now.
I agree with both Stefani and Ilana about the choices.
Excellent! I am in and will probably dabble from both lists honestly. Thanks for considering it.
Thanks guys, I will start finding these (adult list). :)
I am an adult but could I read the Young Adult list, it looks much more interesting?
Okay...link to YA list books read: review:http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...Link to the 6 adult list books read:

Sorry Twilight review didn't work out too well, here is the link again:http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Oops....sorry!! I will try to be more efficient next time! I only put them here because at the top of this page you said **Note: if you read the book already, then put the review right Here right now!Sorry, I will go to my points page from now on!
Question: What if you are young, and still want to participate in the challenge? i mean, I don't think a 10 year old like me would be able to understand it....WAAH! I really want to be in the challenge! *glum face*
Oh, okay! I'll be checking it out!
wait! My sister tells me that if I read twilight, she would kill me! She thinks it's that bad!
okay, I would have to read it secretly then...
ive read to kill a mockingbird and twilight so what do i do from here
how do i add a link so you guys know that i have reviewed them
so in this ive noticed that people have pages that say how many points or whatever they have and what of the books theyve read, do i have to do that or do you just take down that ive read those two books
so how do i make a points page. i went to the thing that said create a points page and posted that i wanted a page now do i just wait. and where can i read these books because i dont have most of them.
read To Kill A Mockingbird. HATED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. it was like torture :PI'm actually going to start The Iron King today. I also plan on reading North of Beautiful and Twilight sometime soon. Possibly Fallen
I'm doing good If I do say so myself. Lol I've read five books so far. Plan on reading North of Beautiful soon(:
So far I have read 5 of the YA books, some have been good others not so good. Picking up Die for Me at the library later.....started it on onread.com but I find it a difficult to read on the site.@LuneMoonSunStar....Twilight wasn't that bad, yes the writing was a bit sub par but otherwise it was okay. If you are too young though you may want to skip it for a couple of years just because of the content :)
Hello,I would love to try the book challenge. However I am not talented at writing reviews. May I have some pointers or tips? Thanks.

Hi Jessica,Does it have a word limit?

Destiny....how old are you?? I have heard alot of people say that they had to read To Kill A Mockingbird in middle or high school and they hated it, then years later as an adult they read it again and LOVED it, so if you are still in school, please promise me you will read it again when you are an adult, it really is such a moving story, the appreciation of it may come later :) And if you are an adult, then I am sorry :(
I have 'Kssing Snowflakes' if anyone wants it....I can mail it out to you and then you can pass it on to other members of the reading challenge, this way you don't have to buy it.....I couldn't find it at my library, so I went ahead and bought it used, there are some highlighted pages but only the first chapter. I am offering it for FREE, so who is going to be the first?? Why don't you message me with your address, and I will post it :)
Okey-Dokey Jessica.....he can email me if he wants, let me know and I will give you my email.
That's not a real challenge to me. Most of those books are hack work and it can be read in less than two months, not a problem. I thought it was going to be a real challenge with books like: Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest, War & Peace, etc. Now that would be an awesome challenge!
I would like to join this challenge but what if you have already a few of the books that are chosen?
Oh. Wait. Never mind I just saw what you said about if we already have read a book, Ill post the reviews later
I'll cheer on the people that do have them and take this challenge, though. ^u^
