The Flan "Read Our Own Height" Challenge Update

Long time no post! I've been holding off on posting 'cause I was so very, very close to the end. Now I've made it. I've read my own height (and a tiny bit more). I already have my next challenge in mind -- and indeed, some books read for it, if I decide they count -- but first I need to formally finish this one.

[personal profile] iltaru is still working on hers, of course. If you want to keep following her progress, catch her on the comms.

If you didn't see the rules post, it is here. The comms are [community profile] readheightetc and [livejournal.com profile] readheightetc.

Reading My Own Height Again - It begins!

The Plan:
Read my own height (~5'4"/1.5m) again.
The Rules:
1. This must include only books owned before 01/11/2009.
2. There are only two sections: "rereads" and "new".

This is in an effort to clear my shelves a bit faster! Hence the relative lack of rules. I don't even have to review anything, though I probably will, just read it.
