Erin Gray (texerin) | 13 comments I've started off well juggling this challenge and a personal challenge to read only books that I currently own (because I have shelves of them waiting to be read). Here's what I've read so far:
5pts: Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
15pts: Don't judge a book by its cover: Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
25pts: Punny title: The Royal We byHeather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
1/2 of the last category: I've read The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt and am currently reading Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed by Those They Trusted by Kristina Jones, Celeste Jones, and Juliana Buhring
Good luck to everyone else!

I'm from Texas, and Kinky Friedman is a cultural icon, but I've never read any of his books. I should fix that!
