I'll try this challenge although I'm not confident that I will get too many points since I have many challenges ongoing right now, but I will see how I do.

I've added my first points by finishing High Tide a current group read. So 3 points. It was a tough 3 points too since I did not like the book at all.

Another group read reviewed The Corpse Washer and it was such a good but also painful story. I also reviewed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time which was also good.

I like this challenge!

Points so far: 22
