Great job Lucy, you have some really great titles on the list!

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate your support!

How fast do you read? to read a book a week...wow

Thanks for your comment, Sonya! I don't actually read all that fast - some people in this group are heading for over 100 in the year! I also tend to mix very small books with large ones, so it will eventually average out to a book a week (Count of Monte Cristo, for example, took me forever! Whereas Anthem was under 100 pages, I think). I also commute into work and my journey takes me over an hour both ways, which gives me plenty of time to do a lot of reading :)

Picked a shortie (Carmilla) to catch up!
