CHALLENGE: The Four Month Challenge, Part 4

hosted by Martina at She Read a Book for the fourth time!
July 1 - October 31, 2010

The idea is to read and gather as many points as you can. A book can only count for one category. My aim is to try to get 200 points - or 4 out of 5 in each category. But it is the summer, so it's all just for fun. After 4 times, I really can't stop now.

My ideas are in italics, if it's been read, it is bolded. Here's where the updates go.

Total points = 160 points
