I like to think of myself as a big reader too. I think I finish about two books a month. But I've only read one on your list, the new Cassandra Clare book.
Anyway, I'll be contacting you soon with a request to review my book. I know you are busy and I appreciate any reading time you can give me.
If your followers would like to check out the first two chapters of my diaspora novel it can be found at http://monicajwolfson.blogspot.com/
My disclaimer is that I've been working on this book for FIVE YEARS, long before this end of the world theme became a trend. Alas, I feel like I'm trendy by association.
Overall it looks like you are doing very well with your challenges. I read Night and was very moved by it. I also read the first 3 books in the Series of Unfortunate Events series. I liked the first one the best. A Wrinkle in Time was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. I have been wanting to read The Fault in Our Stars. Thanks for sharing and good luck!
