However, it is a lot of pages of people having feelings, so if you like more of a plot, it probably isn't for you. There's a bit of one in the last handful of chapters, but talking about it would be a spoiler, I think.

36. The Kingdom of Gods by N.K. JemisinHmmm, I'm not doing quite as well, percentage-wise, as I thought. And I'm getting down to my choices either being enormous chunksters or an endless stream of Buffy/Angel tie-ins. Choices, choices...

I'm trying to read books in the order I got them, and right now that's either books that aren't quick reads because of the subject matter, or else enormous ones. I just started my next fiction book last night: 602 pages (3 books in one, but GR will only count it as one.)
Hope both of us can start picking up speed!

I'm a member of another group that does buddy reads and a much larger community than this group, I might put in some posts there.
Also, I hope you don't mind, I looked at your profile page, and saw that you're into archaeology. I'm an anthropologist, and I may have drooled a bit over your shelves.
48. The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by Walter MoersHOLY POOP I FINISHED MY MOUNTAIN 6 MONTHS IN. Last year I inched onto the top of Kilimanjaro in late December, and I didn't even have the same amount of comics this year. I severely underestimated how fast I was going to go. Heading up Kilimanjaro next, I guess.

Mostly not because I have such esoteric tastes, but still fun to see what other people are into! Now I have to go look at your page! LOL
