2015 Book Challenge Update

So I have 4 books left on the challenge.  I've kinda running out of time (extended time, hehe).  I'm having a hard time getting the books for three of the challenges.  Because it's so specific, the books that can apply are quite limited.  Even if I have chosen what these books are, the matter of actually finding copies of them are a different story.

So now I'm stuck 'till I can find these books.  Although I do have one challenge with a book on hand but it's for the classic romance challenge.  I am dreading this because I know how that would be.  Having just gone through Lolita and The House of Seven Gables, I'm am in no mood for the "rambling" type of writing from old novels.  I like my books short and to the point.

2015 Book Challenge

So it's 2 days 'till 2015 ends and I'm 8 books away from finishing the challenge.  I am officially saying that I won't be able to finish it in time.  There are 2 books that are not available here where I am spending my holidays.  Plus, I just want to enjoy my holiday break like catching up with old friends and hanging out with the family. 

Maybe if I extend the challenge 10 days into 2016?  We'll see.
