I read all of the picture books to my daughter today. I like the picture book task because by completing it I feel as though I accomplished something even though it took me less than an hour to do so.

Go, Blarneygod! Yay for picture books! :)

The Challenge of Human Diversity: Mirrors, Bridges, and Chasms was read for school. Not bad as far as text books go. I liked reading about the anthropologists' experiences with their field studies. I just wish that there were more of those anecdotes in the book.

Missing In Death was a short novella in an anthology, but I decided to count it as one of my shortest books. I hope that is okay:)

Right now my personal goal is just to finish 6 tasks by the end of the challenge:)

yey! At least I finished half the challenge:)
