I finished my Title Challenge!!! now to tackle the rest of the Author Challenge!

Welcome Glenda!

I love my Kindle too...so easy to carry around and read whenever I have a few spare minutes. I have Outlander in my to-read folder, maybe I'll start it next.

aha...I didn't realize I wasn't following this discussion...that's why I wasn't getting notifications of new posts...hmmm...now to check the others...

I'm behind on my overall goal of 150 books, and having trouble finding new authors I want to read, but the title challenge is going well :)

Just finished The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond

I have to say that I've found the most interesting books by going to the X section in the stacks and grabbing a book off the shelf.

I've got another X author - Xiaoda Xiao

Portuguese - Seeing by Jose Saramago

V - A Visit From the Goon Squad - Jennifer Egan

only 4 more books and I'm done with the title challenge

Adding The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest for Swedish

One of these day I'll try Steinbeck again...It's hard to bring myself to do it when there are so many other books that seem so much more appealing.

Did you enjoy Of Mice and Men?

Feed - Mira Grant

ooohh...Of Mice and Men - my sophomore year English teacher stripped any enjoyment I could have had from that book. It's made me shy away from Steinbeck in general :(
