Same! It makes me even more excited to read the books - especially when it nicely matches some of my recent library finds that I'm anticipating anyway :D

Kate (kgskocelas) | 474 comments Planning them is hands down my favorite part of this challenge :)

Me, too. I have all 3 picked out, just need to persuade the library to actually part with them...

My library holds are cooperating this time! I've moved up to the #2 position on both BOTM. One of the villain books I picked is available now, so I can start it tomorrow morning on the way to work. It never falls into place like that. :D Happy end of the challenge. I really hope Michael is up for doing it again next year. Fingers crossed.

Love that book and series, Kate. One of my few that I reread every few years.

Kate (kgskocelas) | 474 comments It was great! I wish I had read it at 10 instead of 30 though. I would have enjoyed it even more back then.

I was very lucky, Kate. I was assigned that series in 5th grade and I've loved it ever since. Reread I don't know how many times, gotten others to read it. and still enjoy it.
