The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

A lion is a cat, so why not? I'm going to read 'The Butterfly Lion' for my challenge

Awesome! Thank you!

I've done this before but not as a GR challenge. Just came across it here and decided to join in and play catch-up.

Random thing I noticed: The last book before the Advanced level is "a book you bought on a trip" on the popsugar site, not brought. Sorry if I'm being too OCD or stepping on toes.

Oh! Thanks for noticing, Anna. I'll have to check on it and edit it. I'll Brian my note that brought or bought is ok, if it was a transcription error. I'll check as soon as I'm back at my computer.

I modified it. :)

I'm a little late but can I sign up?

I did this challenge in 2015 & 2016. It was fun! You read books you normally wouldn't! ( I have a newfound love for graphic novels now because of it!) But this year I wanted to read all the books I have bought but not yet read without worrying about if it fits the challenge, so I won't be participating this year.

But I like reading how you are experiencing it =) x

I'll give it a shot
