Holli | 30 comments I’m doing a re-reading challenge this year, so there will be many re-reads in this list. Knowing me, I probably won’t go in challenge order either and books will no doubt change at least once. :-D

1. a book with more than 500 pages
The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan

8. a funny book
Thin Air (Spenser, #22) by Robert B. Parker
~ partly because Mr. Parker was quite adept at mixing humor and story in his books and partly because of some of the voices the narrator did in the audiobook
