10/40 books
65/310 points
I've never watched Jersey Shore, but I imagine Gia's character is based on Snooki from what I've heard of her. Surprisingly, this was a really good book - easy to read and it kept my attention. Snooki must have a really good ghostwriter. :)

LOL, same here. ;)
LOL, same here. ;)
The only reason I am doing any good is because I am picking my tasks as I finish the books rather than have the task first. So I am just filling in what will give me the highest points for the books I read. Which I just finished another one so we will have to see where I can fit that in...After I get some sleep :)

Same with me Julie! I have had WAY too much on my mind lately to be able to concentrate on reading. Not that I'm supposed to be concentrating on that, I'm supposed to concentrate on my homework, lol, that's almost a lost cause anymore. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I'm still able to pass my classes!!! (Ten more days!!)
