Londa The Book Theif is one of my Favs...you have to come back and let me know what you think.

For those who are reading The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat - I think there is a situation in the the book that will fit this month's theme.
I am going for 15 again.I am so far behind in what I need to read.
As for this month's theme - maybe one of planned reads fits (or maybe can stretch to fit as I will be reading Boy, Snow, Bird that deals with a stepchild)

Yay!
I'm reading Boy, Snow, Bird too. It looks like my kind of book. I am a fairy tale fanatic, and I have been wanting to read Helen Oyeyemi for a while.

I have read Oyeyemi before and I think it is more her writing style than her theme of using fairy tales/mythology in her storylines that does not appeal to me. I really want to like Boy, Snow, Bird - so we will see how it goes.
So how did everyone else do this month?

Congratulations!
What was everyone's fav read this month.
For the ones I completed. The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat was the clear winner.

Thanks! Hehe, your buddy read thread certainly got me interested in that book, definitely on my TBR list.
I always have several faves and this month was no different:
1 Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets
2 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
3 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
I also enjoyed Divergent (finally read it). :)
Also the challenge app doesn't display the books I read still so I just listed them in the comments.
