30 Books: 5 Months. Can she do it?

Hiya guys! So, if you’ve read my blog from yesterday, then you’ll know that Jill has challenged me to read everything in my to-read pile (thankfully excluding my giant books of everything) by the end of the year. So, to keep anyone interested up to date on my progress, and to provide Jill with actual proof of where I am (I figure she’s not just going to take my word for it if on New Year’s Eve I’m like, “Oh, your challenge? Yeah, I totally finished that like a month ago…”), I’ve decided to post the list of all the books I have to read here in the Etc. section. They’re all just normal as of right now, but as I finish each book I’m going to bold it, and the plan is to post a little summary/review of the book, either here or on my actual blog. Probably here, though- my blogs run long enough as it is :P
Just a note, there are about 7 books on the list that I’ve starred. Those are books that I’ve actually started, but I never really got around to finishing (I, Claudius, for example, was supposed to be read for Not without My Book Club! Senior year, but it was just so boring…). Those are probably the ones I’m most worried about being able to read- I hate not finishing a book I’m reading, so the fact that there are this many sitting in my pile just shows how
challenging it’s going to be to get through them. So here’s my list; feel free to let me know if there are any you really like/express your sympathy at what I’ve gotten myself into :)

Yeah...good luck with that...
Just kidding, I believe in you. Still, that's 6 books per month. That's more than a book a week. No, but really. I believe in you.

    What's this?

    Sometimes (approximately once a week) you feel like blogging. But what about those other times when you feel like writing a poem, drawing a picture, or making a list? Well, now that goes here!
