I will try to read at least three of these books listed. I might add to the list as the months go on. But I'll try to read those in addition to three original books. The list is subject to change. But I'll try to be honest about which books are added on later.

Becky,

Life as we knew it was a haunting but enjoyable book. I couldn't put it down and it stayed with me for months.

Uglies was good too but it was part of a series just so you know.

Asking a favor...

I've switched backgrounds from dark to light. I know that there may be some posts with text in colors that won't show up. I just don't know which posts have text elements in specific colors. If you encounter a page with text such as this. Could you leave me a comment on that post and tell me it needs fixing? I'd be super-appreciative!
Thank you!
Becky
