Here's what I read this week:
25 points: Third book from the left on the fourth shelf from the top at my library. — The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini (371 pages)

15 points: Read a book that you've always wanted to read but haven't gotten around to yet. — The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon (226 pages)

PREVIOUS POINTS: 60
TOTAL POINTS: 100
By the way, if you're still looking for a book to read in one day, I think The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a great option. It goes very quickly and has illustrations sprinkled throughout the book, so it doesn't seem like it's actually 226 pages.

Please update me on your progress in a comment on this post. I usually don't write the scoreboard post until Saturday, so as long as you check in by Friday I should have your most up-to-date score on the board. 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. Good luck!
