DONE! Yeah, ok: I'm a month late but here's the issue. I read a lot of dystopian novels (I didn't realize this until I went looking for a challenge book) so it was hard to find something I wanted to read that I hadn't read already. While at the library the other day I came across The City of Ember on CD and I was like "BOOM!" I never think of audio books but I drive a lot and it's a great way to get more reading in (I'm sure my friends are thinking "holy crap, she's figured out how to read more???") Since I got this to listen to in the car it should have taken me a few days, but I enjoyed it so much that I kept bringing it into the house to listen to as I did dishes, cooked etc. Finished in two days and I'll be picking up more CDs ASAP.
CHALLENGE COMPLETE!!
