He's already read the first 2 on my list. I'm trying to catch up to him.<br /><br />booklogged - all in moderation, eh. Glad you've got things under control and are getting back into joining some challenges.<br /><br />joanna - I didn't look how many books I had to read for other challenges before I signed up for this one. Oops! I think I'm in good shape though, and YA books are usually quick to read. And you only pick between 1 and 4 books, so 1 is easy to read.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-53050013686646552712009-10-11T16:07:56.118-04:002009-10-11T16:07:56.118-04:00I was tempted by this, but since I still have like...I was tempted by this, but since I still have like 20 to finish this year it would be pushing it... :-) I hope you're wrong about challenges being on their way out, I'm looking forward to making my lists for next year!!joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952558113054391317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-6210549944638925682009-10-11T14:19:25.621-04:002009-10-11T14:19:25.621-04:00I agree, Raidergirl3, the list are way fun to make...I agree, Raidergirl3, the list are way fun to make.
