How I did it
It made me
feel accomplished 
How I did it: Just kept updating every time I finished a book. I'm a bookworm, and due to an 8-month military deployment, I had quite a bit of opportunity to read. Even in SE Asia, it was pretty easy to find English-language books. Read how I did it…
It made me
amazed 
How I did it: Pure luck. I was going to school in Michigan, where I'd lived most of my life. I was at a park with some of my girlfriends around 11pm, and one of them stopped and told us to look up. The sky was dancing. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Read how I did it…
It made me
a convert
How I did it: Since none of the ladies at the counter would help me, I called the store and complained about the service. Two days later, I got a call from the counter manager, apologizing and asking me to come in for a free makeover. Maybe a week later, I was able to go in, and was treated very well. The makeup artists really know their trade, and the products are awesome. Read how I did it…

In between Ender’s Game & Speaker for the Dead. I enjoyed it.
4 Ender’s Shadow by Orson Scott Card
Ok, I have a habit of reading tons of books by the same author in a very short time frame. This one was pretty good, too.
5 31 Hours by Masha Hamilton
It sounded intriguing. But I was so deeply disappointed; this was nothing more than a collection of moods (mostly depressed) that had precious little holding it together.
Off to a pretty good start…
1 – The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
Really awesome book about a family, told by the dog.
