Awesome good job Kel!

Update to post #7 - Challenge FINISHED

I'm off to Germany tomorrow and don't think I can update until we come back in October. I'm currently working on my 4th book for this challenge and hope to finish the challenge this month. We'll see. There's a lot of air time on this trip so it's possible.

Happy reading, Everyone! See you in 2 weeks!

I'm back from vacation. I didn't progress with this challenge. I hardly read at all; not even on the plane (darn those video games). I'm about 2/3 through Speaker for the Dead, which would have been my 4th finish for this challenge.
