I am so doing this! I've got a jar around shaped like a skull (don't judge me, I have a thing for skulls) and just need to throw it in the dishwasher and put the titles in. I think I will colour code them by genre so I can at least have a bit of a choice in the type of book seen as I won't always be up for sci-fi, you know what I mean?

1. Girl with a Pearl Earring
2. The Diary of a Young Girl
3. The Glass Castle
✔ I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
5. Long Walk to Freedom
It's the end of the month so it's time for statistics.We have 163 participants and have read 233 books!
