Have you signed up for this challenge? What books are you planning on reading? Do you have any suggestions that I absolutely MUST read?
This is a great challenge. I have a lot of books I want to read and for some reason have put off. I hope you reach your goal :)
ReplyDeleteYou are worse than me with all of these challenges! **I will resist adding this to my list** LOL
ReplyDeleteNice list!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck getting through all the titles! :)
Ah! Great list. Please read The Hunger Games. I am DYING to know what you'd think of Book one or the trilogy on the whole. I had some not so nice things to say about the 3rd in the series and feel like I pissed a bunch of bloggers off lol. Whoops!!

THE HUNGER GAMES, THE HUNGER GAMES!!!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to your review on it!
I love the sound of this challenge, too. I may have to participate...
Alice, Thank you! It's so easy for them to build up.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I have zero self control! Signing up for them is the easy part though :P
Alex, Thanks!
Lah, I OWN the Hunger Games! I seriously need to read them. I vow to read them before the movie comes out!
Stephanie, Aw, thank you! Good luck if you do decide to participate!
Oh, I like this one. I've accumulated lots of great books I want to read now on GR, but just haven't got to them yet. Is it just my own "bucket list" or is there really a list somewhere I'm supposed to pick from?
ReplyDeleteGina, You make your own bucket list with whatever books you want to read. I hear you on the GRs lists! Mine are out of control :P
