The Book Challenge discussion

Well, I just got the reading bug again after a couple years of reading very little - I think I read 13 books in August. Not sure I can keep up that pace, but I'm going to set my goal at 75 in the next year. :)

You go girl!!! I think I will join you!

LOL...my bad. I thought it was 13 in a month, but I just went back and looked again and that was for the summer. I read 8 in August. 3 so far this month...

OK, here's where I'm at. I'm starting from the beginning of September for easy math, lol!

You go girl!!! It seems I can never find time except when I am completely exhausted at the end of the day to read! So, since I'm tired, I don't get very far. It's been that way for the last 8 mos! Since I was about 6mos preggo and now with the newborn it continues! :) Thanks for inviting me to the challenge though! I'm gonna work hard on it! LOL!

Crank is so good and if you can follow it up by Glass you will find out even more about Brie's descent into drugs!

This was the lst Jodi Picoult I read and I have read almost all of her books, can't get enough of her suspense. The Pact is great (also good for teens), My Sister's Keeper- WOW and I found Nineteen Minutes very good but disturbing.

bj - thanks for the book recommendation...I wouldn't have known there was a sequel to Crank! I've got to order it from the library...I just finished reading Crank, and it was AMAZING.
