i have all this books and also the audio because i'm not fluent in reading so i plan to read and listen it all for the super-challenge
good luck for everybody

That's a great goal, but not what this thread is about We have this thread for external reading challenges, and of course you can also post in the super challenge thread

I completed the challenge! I read five short stories (actually, seven, since I read three in one week). You can see my list in my original sign-up post. Technically, I said I was going to finish my two short story books before the end of the year, but I'm backing out of that, so I'm done now that I've done the five stories.

Pesadelos looks interesting. Will start reading that...

I would be interested! I love to read, and I have several books of short stories in Danish that I could work with. And I update my Goodreads account nearly every day anyway.
