PLEASE NOTEThis challenge is getting more and more participants, which is awesome, but a little confusing for me! Can I ask everyone to please use one post for updates? For an example, see Crusader's post at no.3 and Claudia's at no.4. I don't mind if you still do individual posts to let everyone know what you're reading, but if everything is in one main post as well, it makes things a lot easier when I do the tally at the end of the quarter, and there's less chance of me getting your totals wrong or missing one of your books completely.
Thanks!
ARGH! The book I'm reading is 499 pages long! And what makes it worse is that the text is really small, so in my opinion it should have had more pages because it's going to take me a while to read anyway!
That's terrible! I always open books to look at the font and text size before buying (if I can) and skip them if the font is odd-looking or too small. If there's another edition with more pages feel free to add it to the challenge. I'm sure no one would object - it's still the same book.
I wouldn't normally mind if I weren't using the book for a challenge, but now it's bugging me. I looked at a few other editions - all 499 pages! But I didn't look through them all, so maybe there's one with more pages.

Well, you were busy with your game, so you are forgiven. But just this once :)

It is! Congrats Claudia.
But I feel we are choosing less hefty books than we did last year. Is it me or were the numbers higher then?

We where all starry-eyed and full of vigor then. Oh, to have those days back.
