Do economics text books fit in anywhere? Sadly, that is all I am reading these days... :(

#3 ;) I have a boring Ethics book on my must-read list this month. Blah.

i'll do this! except i have no barista. I will subsitute waitress at golden griddle.

dammit now i'm annoyed the book i am reading right now doesn't fit any of the criteria! argh. I must research it and see if it was an
award winner, unlikely, or recomended by a celebrity at some point. (I i assume they don't mean personally?)

Ooh! That was a couple semesters ago. That was a great way to get some decent sleep whilst pregnant!

I'll bite, since I'm trying to get back into reading. (And LOVE my new Kobo Glo!!)

Currently reading a library book, which is also a book 'everyone' has read. I guess I shouldn't tick off multiple entries for the same book as that wouldn't be in the spirit of the game! I'm reading Shopaholic. It's infuriating.

I'm in :)

That list would take me 3 years to get through! If I read 6 books this year, that will be an improvement!

I can't believe I just admitted that!

How fun! I'm going to try.

I picked up the Bingo yesterday :) Already got in the
Library book, book with pictures, and book with animal on cover and books to help with career (creating a webpage to help with career and recommending how they could be used in a kindergarten lesson).

Not sure where 39 clues would fit in - can that be Young Adult??? I bought 11 of them for DS for xmas for $40 and I'm on book 3 so I still have 8 more and then will have too order the rest from the library.

And figure I should read 50 shades of grey, hopefully the waitlist is below 6 months now - which is a book everyone has read.

Ha, I'm on the wait list for 50 Shades as well, something like 47th?!

I'm halfway through the second Shopaholic book right now. I don't think I can take the third. Next on my list will be to tick off a book over 400 pages. (Her Fearful Symmetry)
