Hi Bryn. I love your book title for question#32!

I have several of your titles on my TBR shelf. I don't care for David Eggers but I am looking forward to what you think of the David Krakauer book.

Thanks! I was a little worried about finding a book for that but I think that one actually looks like a good read.
Most of the books I've slotted in there so far are ones that have been on my TBR for awhile so I'm excited to get to them. I haven't read Dave Eggers before but since that book is becoming a movie I want to see what I think of the book before I watch it.

Have you read The Bone Clocks yet? I've been eyeing it, also for question 4, but I haven't gotten it yet.

2/12: Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

Fits question #45. Do you prefer green or black olives? Neither? Read a book with either a predominantly green or black cover depending on your answer.

Almost finished with part 1, congrats!

My cousin lent me her copy of The Circle. I had never heard of it before, but she really enjoyed it. I want to fit it into this challenge but couldn't find a task for it, so I threw it in for the fruit machine task, but another book got picked. Did you like it?

Just a small remark: for this challenge you have to report each book separately, so there's a new post when you finish a book and others can easily see someone has progressed and take a look to comment.
