Yey, Dexter 1 :)
I enjoyed the books 1 and 2 but was disappointed with the 3rd so I stopped reading the serie.

I see lots of To kill a mockingbird in the lists, I hope you'll all enjoy it, it was a great book for me :)

I'm planning on reading Pride and Prejudice next week as well (if I stop hanging out online and get on with some actual reading so I finish Emma this week, that is!)

I'm also wanting to fit To Kill A Mockingbird in at some point as well, though I'm not sure where as yet. I didn't realise it had won a Pulitzer Prize so that might make it the best choice for that week because I already own a copy. ;-)

I did some changes here and there and updated my reading status. i changed my funny book and the nonhuman character weeks. and added a female author. :)

Yes, i'm kind of away from the challenge (a lot of thing happen this last two months) but here i am, i didn't give up!

I updated a few choices and the status. I finished one book, i super late with the schedule and i'm reading out of order (i read as i wish, as my mood goes). :)

Buuuut, let keep on moving (and reading!)

Hi, Stephanie! I loved Battle Royale. I read the mangas years ago and saw the movies too. I loved at the time and loved even more the book! I cried as a baby too. Amazing book!!

I read Battle Royale for my book with more than 500 pages too and absolutely loved it! I somehow managed to put off watching the movie until after I'd read it and I did enjoy the movie too. I haven't read the mangas yet but I will at some point. The book made me cry too so I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I added a few books I finished. :)
Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Shrap Objects by Gillian Flynn, Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot, Bird Box by Josh Malerman and The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

:)

I made a little change in the Short-Stories week.
I read The tales of Beedle the Bard.

So now, i still haven't read the books of the weeks: 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 23, 26, 27, 30, 31, 35, 36, 38, 39, 41, 42, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49 and 50.

And i'm reading (stuck/stopped) the books of the weeks: 2, 18, 19.

My aim is to finish weeks 18, 19, 27 and 28 in the next week in the read-a-thon and read more the book of week 2 (probably will not finish in the read-a-thon). Also I want to start-but-maybe-not-finish-in-the-read-a-thon the books from weeks 7 and 23. :)

During the read-a-thon week i finished To Kill a Mockingbird and Mostly Harmless. (weeks 18 and 27)
Also I'm almost finishing (~100 pages to finish) weeks 19 and 28.

I started to read The Night Circus (week 41), The girl with the dragon tattoo (week 46) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (week 23)

Hope finish it before the end of the year :D

So far, i manage to finish more 2 books:
A graphic novel (Attack on Titan, Vol. 2) It is a manga, but i think it applies :p
A childhood book (A Droga da Amizade). Actually it is a prologue/epilogue of one of my favorites series from my youth. So i think it applies too :P
