Twilight was a lot of fun even if, as you say, it was a bit cheesy at times. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Lezlie</B> - I definitely won't give up on War and Peace. I liked what I did manage to read of it. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Kathy</B> - Thank you!<BR/><BR/><B>Ramya</B> - Thanks! I managed to finish three more chunksters before the deadline--all this week, but they were all pretty easy reads.

I think there were only 100 when I hosted the challenge. Nefertiti and The 19th Wife are on my wish list. I enjoyed Twilight. It may have been a little on the eye-rolling side, but it was one of those rare books I had trouble putting down.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-12056198274223331382008-12-17T16:38:00.000-08:002008-12-17T16:38:00.000-08:00Congrats on completing the challenge, Wendy!I real...Congrats on completing the challenge, Wendy!<BR/><BR/>I really need to read <I>Nefertiti</I> soon...it's been sitting on my pile for too long! ;) And I want to get <I>The 19th Wife</I> too!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-69043914986633802742008-12-17T12:37:00.000-08:002008-12-17T12:37:00.000-08:00Congratulations!
