That's ok! Do only young adult books count for the challenge?

I think it's by the amount of pages a book has.

Amy,I LOVED Agathat Christie and went through an A. Christie roll for awhile. I still can't figure out why her mysteries are so memorable than others!
I see you listed Dead Tossed Waves, does that mean you read Forest? That book was so un-put-down-able. Very gripping. Can't wait to read that either.

Haven't updated a while but I read a batch of reaaal good books recently!BIRTHMARKED was really good; it was similar to The Hunger Games- dystopian, girl against government, suspense, superb world building, the works :)
THE POISON THRONE was a fantasy that reminded me of Tamora Pierce and Kristin Cashore- always a big fat PLUS in my book!
EYES LIKE STARS is whimsical, beautiful, surreal, imaginative, seductive, and ingenious... yeah I loved it :)
And LEVIATHAN was slow in the start but then picked up and I totally devoured the last 2/3 of it!
