  1. I think I'm one of the few ones who hasn't done this list, so I haven't counted, but I don't think I'm making it very far.
    I hadn't even heard of some of these.
    :P

  2. We're cool :)

    I liked Matched. Actually at the time that I read it, I wasn't sure that I liked it all that much, but I think of it with fond feelings and I'm really looking forward to the sequel, so I guess I liked it more than I initially thought, LOL.
