Hi!
I was a late-comer to the 888 Challenge also. You have a great list to work from! I'm pretty sure you'll be one of the only ones with a "Books In Polish" topic. . . :-) Very cool!
Good luck with the Challenge(s)!

Hey thanks Lezlie! I had a look at your lists, lots of good ideas there... for next year I guess! ;-)
I hear you there! Looking at everyone else's Challenge lists, I think I could line up my reading for a few years right now. :-)
