RIP III: I first committed to one book: Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier (because as you see, it's already on a challenge list!) However, since then I've read a cute kid's ghost story Deep and Dark and Dangerous, so, if I still get to Jamaica Inn, I'm doing better than I thought I would! Getting to Jamaica Inn will be the trick though.

1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
2. Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
