I finished Cherry by Mary Karr.

Oops! Forget to count Terminal, the next-to-last book in Andrew Vachss's Burke series.

Got another one - Battleborn - a book of short stories.

1. Cherry
2. Terminal
3. Battleborn
4. Greenflies
5. Kookooland
6. Volt

I finished Greenflies on Saturday. This was a pretty fun alien invasion story.

I finished You, which is a book that will truly mess with your mind.

This is my 5th single word title book. It sounds like there's no limit to how many you can read for the monthly specials. True?

Last year there was a limit of 5 for the monthly specials, but I don't think we had anyone go over that number. I might hit 6 for this month, but I can easily switch one of them to another category if need be.

What made me wonder was "read as many as you like" in Stephanie's original post. I'm fine with limiting it to 5, I just want to be sure. (I'm seeing single word titles everywhere!)

I've started what could be a 6th, but it could also be added to a different category.

I decided to leave it open to "as many as you like" for the monthly specials instead of limiting it to five. Most people won't read more than five but if you DO, I didn't want to hold you down! ;-)

And we love you for not being an oppressor! ;-)

I finished Kookooland, a memoir by Gloria Norris yesterday. I highly recommend this one!

Haven't written the review yet, but I finished a book of short stories - Volt this morning.

I didn't like it much.

Finished Firefight. Another great one by Brandon Sanderson.

2. Twilight
3. Soundless"

Hi Ana, the January challenge has ended. I see that you have Avengers marked as completed in January so you can use that one but the other two are still listed as "Currently Reading" on your shelf. Also, if you want to use Soundless as YA fiction, you can't use it for another challenge category. Let me know if you have actually finished those two (Twilight and Soundless) and which category you want to put Soundless in.

#2: Chomp

Oops. Just saw that this was a monthly challenge, not an all-year one. Oh well.

You can slide this one over to the Young Adult Challenge.

I am a late starter to this group but went though my read list for January and read the following books in January.

Fragment
Sebring
Kulti

Is it too late to count these?

Hi Cathy, welcome! You just made the cut for these. We let newcomers add books they read up to three months back from when they join.
