Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

So this is three months late, but I have decided to participate in this challenge. I tried last year and then fell in a massive reading slump and failed miserably. I was a bit wary about trying it this year but so far I have read more books in three months than I did for the entire of last year so I thought that I am up for the challenge.

I guess this is probably more a place for me to keep track of how I am going instead of a plan because I don't think I will plan my books too far in advanced.

All the topics that I have completed will be in bold.

Thanks! I have fallen back in love with reading again so I have been excited to read heaps!

Congratulations on finding your mojo!

Well damn, it's not exactly late if you've already killed 20 books! Congrats on getting started!!

Right? LOL, I started a little late in February and I haven't read as much

Thanks! :)

Haha, yes I guess so! I didn't realise how many of the books I have read already would fit the challenge.

I hate to be a nitpicker, but ... your book for Week 4 does have an 'e' in the title. Sorry!!

Oops! Thanks for that, I somehow missed it.

Mel, I did the same on my plan. I picked ThE Girls...I guess I ignored that "the" in the beginning. I replaced it with Caraval, but i had also just finished reading Odd Thomas so that fit in.

It's funny where they hide. So many I thought have been e-free at first glance and then, nope. :(

'The' is what caught me too. Sneaky little e hiding in plain sight, lol. Thankfully another book I read didn't have an e in it. You can be sure that I checked it 5 times just to make sure. :P

Jody wrote: "It's funny where they hide. So many I thought have been e-free at first glance and then, nope. :("

Yeah, I had that trouble when trying to find a replacement. I would think that there was no e and then when I double checked it there was usually more than one.
