The challenge: read 20 books by (the end of) June (this year :P).
20 is approximately 80% of the books I have but haven’t read. And like the book-junkie I am, when I got my library card tonight (Seattle Public Library: you are so cool with your self-checkout), I…picked up 2 more books (listed first).
Oh, bother.
The list:
- Do Not Deny Me - Jean Thompson (finished)
- The Coral Thief - Rebecca Stott (finished)
