You did well. I've read and enjoyed Never Let Me Go, and I own Water for Elephants but haven't got to it yet. I hope the film of The Road lives up to your expectations. This was an easy challenge for me, I usually read award winners anyway. I found some wonderful books. My wrap up post is here:

You came really close Kristi! I wouldn't have finished if I hadn't read some children's books. LOL. You read some great books! I loved Water for Elephants and really like Never Let Me Go and The Road.
I think you did great. I gave up on this a long time ago. I've decided that challenges aren't for me.
