I'm finally on my last short story in Just After Sunset Will be starting A Tree Grows in Brooklyn tonight.
i'm almost done with Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict for the flashlight worthy...its good, but I wouldn't go as far as to say flashlight worthy...I also started Unmasqued: An Erotic Novel of The Phantom of The Opera last night which is a re-telling of Phantom of the Opera for the Music tells the story...
I just finished the three books for the 50 point task--need to update. And I'm read to start The Reader. I'm down to less than 10 books needed to finish.

I'm not as fast of a reader as a lot of ya'll but I'm really proud at my accomplishment so far, I've never read so many books as I have since the beginning of this challenge!
I lost the book I was reading and what is worse, it was a library book :(
I'm about 100 pages into A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and am really enjoying it so far. Also listening to Pagan Babies during my commute.
I think the end of The Passage is in sight. I may also start The Magdalene Cipher for my "lighter" read.

I found my lost book today. I left it at work.
So glad you found your book, Jayme!Almost done with
for part of #30.8 and started
