Book I Have Started but Not Yet Finished:
Two Wrongs Don't Make a Write by Cathy Wiley (Okay, I'm only 20 pages into it, but it counts, right?)
Books on my original list not finished:
NONE!!!!!!!!!
Thoughts:
No, I didn't read those books not on my list at the end. I read two of them at the beginning of April and one in mid-May. But they were all fast reads, which really helps.
It also helped that I lost my job in mid-May, giving me more time to read (although I've been watching plenty of TV still, or the list would probably be longer.)
I've been doing these challenges for several years, and usually I list way too many books and I have no hope of finishing my list. This is only the second time I've finished, so I'm thrilled.

I always sign up for these with a list of books I hope to get to and I usually don't end up reading them all. Of course, it doesn't help that I end up reading a ton of books not on the list, too.
Have a great summer and if you get a chance, come check out my Spring Thing Wrap Up post.
I'm a big fan of the Spellman Files series, haven't read Document #5 yet but I am very eager to! Congrats on finishing the challenge!
