Let’s just say I have a lot of reading left to do! I am currently in the midst of Persuasion by Jane Austen, and intend to go on to Far From the Madding Crowd after this. This is a great incentive!

I, too, have a lot of reading ahead of me! I’m glad you are enjoying the challenge. 🙂
I have yet to complete my reading of The Catcher in the Rye. From this week’s list the only one I read is A Wrinkle in Time, and loved it.

I’ve only read 5 on this list I’m ashamed to say. I have a copy of Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China in my TBR pile and I’ve always wanted to read A Wrikle in TIme. My favourites on this list are The Time Traveler’s Wife and a Tale of Two Cities.
