that's great reading you'll be doing! Good luck Fanda!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm excited too to begin this! ;)
DeleteMy hat goes off to you - Moby Dick AND War and Peace for the same challenge? (Though I am a little jealous too - I really want to read W&P, but I'll wait until after I'm done with school first).
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining again!!
Well, if I don't do it now, I'd probably never do it!
DeleteAnd thanks for hosting this challenge for another year, Sarah! :)
I picked the same book, Three Musketeers, for that category! We should do a read-along next August or something.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, in fact I have planned to read it with Melisa (surgabukuku) on March 2013, can you make it that month? We'll be glad to have you too!
