I was distracted by my reading challenge and ended up reading other books halfway, but have finished the following:
1. The Goose Girl – Shannon Hale
2. Santa Olivia – Jacqueline Carey
3. The Graveyard Book – Neil Gaiman
4. Grug :)
Reading through The Lieutenant – Kate Grenville, though not sure if I can finish it in the next few days

I noticed a few Durans in your lists. I've never read her books, although Wandergurl has told me I should. Any recs on which ones to start with?

SonomaLass -- I wish I had time to read 10 books. For some reason, I haven't felt compelled to pick up any books on my TBR pile (except the O'Reilly). I think it's because my TBR is so out of control, the thought of it stresses me out. I have to stop buying/borrowing more books...

Tez -- I have Undercover, but I must admit that I read all the naughty bits and never got around to reading the rest properly.

Christina -- LOL Never mind. You're still ahead of me!

Bon -- Did you like the Liz Carlyle book?

Jen -- I feel your pain. I've been sleep-deprived for about 10 years!

Edie -- What's a little cheating between reading buddies? *g*

I have been struggling hardcore to get any reading done. :(
But have cheated a bit and knocked back some short ebooks and old loveswepts, which brings me up to 11.
Jaye Wells, Peggy Webb, Barbara Boswell, Patt Bucheister and I will have to look up the authors of the ebooks.

Haha, I’m doing the worst thus far (only finished two books, both by Meredith Duran), but I expected that much—it’s nearly the end of semester at uni, and the end of my degree. I suppose I’m pushing my luck trying to squeeze in leisure reading, but can’t hurt to try, no?

I am both impressed and intimidated by SonomaLass’ progress! TEN!!!
My progress is terrible :( I’m on my 5th book, although I’ve only completed 3. Too many things disrupting my reading (should be uni, but the blame falls completely on an Alias marathon… *shameface*)

My count so far is 10 books. You can see quick responses to them on my blog, sonomalass.vox.com. I am part of the way through two other books and have a big stack of things I want to read next. Some tough decisions in my future!
