Believe me, if it weren't for this book challenge, I would have given up somewhere during the second book. The third one was by far the worst (sorry, Megan, I misled you that the second one was bad since I hadn't yet read the third one.) So, I believe that is another 30 points for a total of 40 points. But, I think I should get something like 100 for actually slogging through them!Pattyhttp://pitterfrompatty.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-79995958229411418492012-06-16T15:36:40.553-04:002012-06-16T15:36:40.553-04:00I also finished A Queer and Pleasant Danger by Kat...I also finished A Queer and Pleasant Danger by Kate Bornstein for the memoir category. <br />Total points: 115Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-7737040168277254152012-06-15T10:17:08.991-04:002012-06-15T10:17:08.991-04:00I have not posted my progress- I have been so busy...I have not posted my progress- I have been so busy but I did read and all of these books were reviewed on my blog unless otherwise stated:<br /><br />The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett (no review for this one) and that was a book I wanted to read for a long time (I love the movies) but I won't count it because I also read The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde and I did review it so that's 15 points.<br /><br />and I read (I hope this counts) The Enemy by Charlie Higson and A Little Friendly Advice by Siobhan Vivian as the antonym books 20 points.<br /><br />A book I read for a place I have never been but want to visit is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows which is 20 Points. <br /><br />Previous points: 15<br />Total Points: 70 PointsRebeccahttp://www.thepaperbackprincess.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-38057447970906444152012-06-13T08:21:43.512-04:002012-06-13T08:21:43.512-04:00Finishers, already?

Here's what I've finished so far:<br /><br />(10) An audio recording of a memoir -- Spycraft: the secret history of the CIA's spytechs<br /> from Communism to Al-Qaeda / Robert Wallace and H. Keith Melton<br /><br />(15) Read a book in one calendar day, 13 hours to be exact! -- Twilight / Stephenie Meyer<br /><br />(25) Find a book written the year you were born that was later made into a movie. Read the book and watch the movie; compare -- Clear and Present Danger / Tom Clancy<br /><br />And I'm currently working on three books in a series by finishing up the Twilight series! I can't believe it's taken me this long to read them! I'm also listening to Ten Big Ones by Janet Evanovich and looking for a book with "little" in the title... Any ideas?<br /><br />Total points: 50Laura Swannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165631260112107857.post-6929728648515331382012-06-11T02:01:21.971-04:002012-06-11T02:01:21.971-04:00Read this week:
