    I'm catching up on the nominations for this year's Carnegie award, so plenty of material to go at.

    Finished my second and well on my way to my third book. If you haven't read anything by Sharon Draper, please do so. She is a great writer and doesn't appear to have large readership.

  12. i just finished Specials by Scott Westerfeld this morning. i had originally intended on reading Specials and Extras before the end of 2007 and reading Peeps for this challenge, but ... that's how it goes. i'm enjoying Westerfeld's writing!

  15. Aware ~ Thanks for the heads-up! :)

  16. Finished my first!
    I linked it here, but I think I've also added to another one, which I think is the wrong one:P

  17. Valentina ~ Hooray! I hope it was a good one! :)

    I'll look around and see if I see this linked somewhere else and take care of it. Thanks

  18. i finished The Giver this week - my second book for this challenge. and i've got two more coming soon (hopefully before month-end).

    i wanted to get a good start on my overall reading goals for 2008 and YA (and children's) books are working out well!

  19. Alison ~ I'm working on getting as many off my challenge lists as well. However, there's one coming that doesn't fit, but I'm at the mercy of the library. :)

  20. One more book down! I've been finding this challenge easier than some of my others, I suppose because the books are shorter. And more fun.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Kim ~ That's great news! Reading = Fun!

    ReplyDelete
  22. i've posted the link to my third - Nothing but the Truth (and a Few White Lies) by Justina Chen Headley. i am really enjoying this challenge!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Alison ~ I'm so glad! I'm really enjoying it, too. :)

    I just finished the seventh of my challenge reads. I've enjoyed all of mine so far (some more than others, though).

  25. Love ~ That's great. You're cruising! :)

    Out of curiosity, what are the titles in English?

    Som jag vill vara = As I want to be

    Det fattas en tärning = There's a dice missing

    I feel a little weird reading non-English books for challenges, but then I feel a little weird that Swedish makes up such a small part of my reading, so it seems I can't win either way. ;D

  27. Love ~ Thanks for the lesson! As to what language you read ... whatever works best for you - go ahead. :)

  28. I just added my link to Pretties by Scott Westerfeld, but wanted to add a couple of more titles of teen books I read this month also - Rembering Raquel by Vivian Vande Velde and Right Behind You by Gail Giles. Velde was good, as usual :) Giles was *excellent*. Reviews are here:
