  1. I read exactly 100 books for the last two years, and sadly, I don't think I'm going to make it this year! I'm only to 60 at this point. Oh, well.

  5. I really enjoyed The Mysterious Benedict Society. I recently got this book last Saturday (Jan. 16, 2010) and now I am very close to finishing and it has been less than a week! I could not put this book down! I didn't even know what the book was about when I bought it, and now I know plenty. This book is great for many ages, but has more advanced vocabulary. This book is amazing!
