Book Count-June 2011
Our last book...
Our last book count was a lot of fun and a great success so, we book counters have decided to make one for June!
For those who don't know anything about this, here's how it goes.
See how many books you can read in a month (July 1st 2011). You must read the whole book and just fill this out when you've started/finished a book.

Author:
Started:
Finished:
If you're interested, you can always put a little summary of the book!
For those who have taken part in this before: try to surpass your last record! (Mine is five *fail*).
Anyways, ONE-TWO-THREE... START READING!

Spending $60 on a single book related to one's obsession and proud of it FTW! *flaunts The Biology of Tardigrades*
I was busy on vacation, so I don't think I'll be doing this after all.

I don't realy know where to post this so I am doing it here. I have to say it somewhere.
I just read chapter one of The Heroes Of Olympus, Book Two: The Son Of Neptune and now I want to read the book even more especially since this one is about Percy and I still have to wait three and a half months before it comes out. Did anyone else read chapter one?
