2016 Reading Challenge- End of February Update

Feet of Clay (Discworld, #19) - Terry Pratchett A Storm of Swords  - George R.R. Martin The Separation of Church and State: Writings on a Fundamental Freedom by America's Founders - Forrest Church The Crusades Through Arab Eyes - Jon Rothschild, Amin Maalouf Frankenstein - Mary Shelley, Karen Karbiener
Well overall 9 books through the first 60 days of 2016, 7 of which are on the list of 40 books I want to finish by December 31.  During my re-read of A Storm of Swords, I realized that when I made my "master" list of 122 that I forgot that I had planned to re-read A Feast for Crows (#22) & A Dance of Dragons (#38) at the same time based on a Combined Reading Order from Sean T. Collins.  So instead of rearranging my list I'm giving you a heads up that I'll be reading both at the same time.
