There are also a few people who have been blogging about my challenge (ahem, Kevin and Cristina), but not checking in. Please check in so I can count your points! :) Now, onto this week. Here's what I read:

10 points: Read a book you were supposed to read in school, but either bailed on or Cliff-Noted. — The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger (277 pages)

PREVIOUS POINTS: 30
TOTAL POINTS: 40

I also read Beasts by Joyce Carol Oates in one calendar day (it actually only took me 90 minutes), but it was only 138 pages, unlike the 160 pages cited on Goodreads. Grr. I didn't realize this until after I picked it up from the library and brought it home. Maybe the page count was different because I read the hardcover version, but I've challenged myself to not count it anyway. Darn!

Please update me on your progress in a comment on this post. If you forget to check in one week, no worries! Just catch yourself up on the next week's check-in. If you just joined the challenge, welcome! Please feel free to include all books you've read since May 1 that were at least 200 pages long. You can review the full list of rules here.

P.S. — I really regretted my new image policy today because I have so many awesome book pictures I want to use for these check-ins. But I know it will make my blog better in the long run. Sigh....
