Virginie Says…
Week 15 and we are in the home stretch, kids! I’m really close to finishing and am super glad that I don’t have to work until Saturday, so I’ll have lots of time to read this week. I finished one book last week for 15 points – Mistress of the Sun (read a book with a summer word in the title) So that brings my total to 205. I’m just about finished Anna Karenina (read a book by an author born in June, July, August or September – Tolstoy was born in August) so I’m adding my points for that now because it’s just a matter of hours until I’m done.
Let me know if anyone else has updates!

I finished a Maeve Binchy book, her short story collection London Transports, so that is a book by Jodi Picoult (I traded for Danielle Steele) and Maeve Binchy = 20 points, giving me a total of 190.
I have 2 more I hope to get to, and am close to finishing a classic, Huck Finn. I’ll not get read a Christian Fiction or a Jean Plaidy – they just aren’t on my radar at all. I’ll consider myself complete if I finish the other 3.
You are going to completely finish this! well done.

I have another 5 points to add – book that you liked the cover was The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. That brings me to 200. I’m currently working on The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency for the book with a number, as well as Triumph of Deborah for Christian fiction. I think I might manage to finish this one…just 2 left after that!

I have been visiting my library A LOT for this challenge because I haven’t had many books to fit these categories. But it gave me an excuse to go there again.
