Ok, great. I just finished
. I liked it but didn't love it. I'm glad I can count it though. I just started
and am enjoying it so far.
I'm reading a book that is 160 pages, does that count? Or does it need to be 161?
Hi, I'm working on
and
I'm enjoying them both. For some reason Requiem is taking me forever to read even though I think its my favorite in the series. I'm also loving Flight Behavior, if Barbara Kingsolver wrote the phonebook I'd read it cover to cover:)

I would like to sign up for round 2. I'm not sure exactly how many books I read in 2012 but is was less than 300 because that was my goal and I didn't reach it. I read 61% of my goal of 100 books for the tower team reads. My goal is to read 300 books in 2013 but I count graphic novels and shorter books in this so maybe a goal of 100 would be realistic for this challenge. Thanks!

Yeah, go Team D!!! I listened to
while I cleaned and organized my closets. It was weird but I love Libba Bray sense of humor. I just started
and am enjoying it so far. Off to a good start!!!
Sign me up please. I read 258 books in 2013 but that includes Graphic Novels and Children's books so I'm not sure how many were 200+ pages and would count towards this challenge. I think a safe bet would be 100 books.

I read them in the wrong order but still really enjoyed them both. Lisa See is becoming one of my favorite writers.
