Location: Grootfontein, Namibia		I've also finished. And must admit that I probably would not have read a few of the books I did if not for the challenge. Considering the busy schedule I have in setting up farm life and the associated industry, I generally opted for "shorter" books - or at least, that's how it started out. I ended up reading quite a few hefty works! I started of with The Hunger Games (have since also finished the second novel), Bitter Angels and Dreadnought, all relatively "easy' and fun reads. From there I read Blackout/All Clear, The Blind Assassin and Flesh and Spirit, all thick books, and even read Breath and Bone, the sequel to Flesh and Spirit

. I probably would never have read The Hunger Games, nor The Drowning Girl (which turned out to be favorite along with Flesh and Spirit and its sequel. I was very disappointed in The Highest Frontier and extremely surprised by God's War and The Riddle-master of Hed, which I found truly wonderful works, God's War in particular full of grit and apocalyptic visions. I'm certainly going to read the next two installments as well.

All in all a great reading challenge. I just cannot find the time to write any erudite reviews
