Yay! Great to see you join. I hope more people do. I'll probably have trouble finding some of these as well, but I'm also really excited for this challenge. I just finished the first one of the list.

To start me off, do you have a book recommendation? You count as a friend, yes? c:
Also, it's going to be tough for me to find a book that makes me cry! I don't do it often reading books or movies. Plus my mom loves Fifty Shades of Gray but I'll just read that when Hell freezes over.

_________________

Actually, I do.

Try Cards on the table, by Agatha Christie. It's one of her best.

OH heck yah totally count me into the concept of insanity. So this is list for me starts at January First. IDK if that's right, be sure to tell me if it's not and I'll edit those out. Because I'm crazy and an avid reader I am so down for this. So I read like almost every night and I can usually read one book over the course of one to four days and a lot more on weekends when I'm bored, can't sleep or stressed so this list will be my fun times reading list, because I'm totally an absolute bookworm. I live and breath reading.... But if I should die attempting to read all of twilight. Then everyone will know why. (nothing against the books, just never been a fan). If you like twilight then that's awesome, I'm glad you do! I never did.

EDIT: My mother doesn't read... And I read every book assigned in high school... Even the ones I'd rather not read so can I pick one someone else didn't read in high school? And also since my mother wouldn't read a book to save her life can I pick someone else's favorite book? Maybe? Lol question emporium!

Wow, Fain! I'm jealous of you! lol You're doing pretty well! Welcome aboard! I'm working on the over 500 pages now. I may take one of yours (Or Cotton's) as my friend recommendation when the time comes

Shiny. It's what I was planning ;)

Thanky for the welcome! I added a few questions into my post, because I didn't want to spam the thread with a double post Man this is like the best thing ever this year. I love book lists. SOOO much.

_________________

I'm convincing everyone I possibly can to try the challenge, and will be tracking the progress on my personal blog as a way of making sure I don't give up. lol

And I have the same problem with my mom, and only one book I didn't read for school, so I guess, why not?

We'll help each other keep motivated! By updating this and stuff. It'll be fun. These things are always great. I used to do this with my best friend challenged her to reading the same book as me and we'd see who finished first for a can of free coke. It was fun. Lol.

SHINY!

_________________

I convinced my best friend to do it as well. He's an avid reader as well, and we'll encourage each other and give each other suggestions and all that jazz. And we can all leave this with a list of new books we want to read.

Even though my list is longer than Schindler's list by now. Basically, if it is a book (exceptions here: 50 shades of Grey and Twilight), I want to read it.

I'm in the same boat. If it's a book I want to read it... I'm sooo into books. Except there is no power strong enough to EVER convince me to even pick up 50 shades of gray. I just won't.

I'm beginning to read Mean Streets: an anthology of detective stories. It has Jim Butcher in it. HUGE fan of his work...

_________________

I did pick it up (my cousin has a copy, I would never buy it). I don't remember if I finished the second page. Probably not.

My current one is 'The secret history of MI6', by historian Keith Jeffery. I love History.

That sounds like a really good book

I'm loving it.

I'm loving this too!

_________________

Four down! I read them all in late December / January / February, I hope that counts.

Also I just noticed the 'book you were supposed to read in school' one. Damn. I had hope I'd escaped reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird'.

_________________

If you finished them this year, they count.

And I'm dreading that as well. lol

I recommend 'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared'. It is such a funny, random book that made me laugh very hard. It's very whimsical, the kind of book that you can't put down, and whenever something happens you think, "oh no, what are they doing now?!" I also learned some history as well.

Ccould 'Hummingbirds of North America' technically, technically be set in my home town because it's mentioned that hummingbirds live in that place? I'm desperate here |D

_________________

Oh man I'm so in! I have no idea if I can find a fiction book set in my hometown though. One down, many more to go.
