Challenge-Would you rather:
- Lend books to someone who dog-ears pages or to someone who reads with cheesy Cheetos fingers?
Dog eared because food stains are the worst.
- Be able to meet one character of your choice or meet one author of your choice?
I have to say character because that just seems more magical. - Never be allowed in a book store again or never be allowed in a library again?
I don't think I could function never being allowed in a library again but I would certainly save money if I was banned from all bookshops and online shopping is a thing. - Have to choose one of your favorite characters to die in their book or
have to pick one of your favorite couples to break up in their book?
I would certainly break up the couple mainly because none of my favourite couples are fully canon. Also people break up and move on. You usually can't move on from being dead, except in some books. -
Be required to read Twilight once a year for the rest of your life or The Scarlet Letter once a year for the rest of your life?
I've never read The Scarlet Letter but Twilight was certainly enough once and it's four books and I'm the type of person who would have to read them all.

Thoughts: I made a mistake of continuing to read the I'm reading without taking a note of the page I was on. I can't decide if it was more or less than 200 pages so I've decided just go for that number. Today could have been better. My reverse sleeping pattern is still problematic.
