It's unrealistic ... but it's worth trying, right? Italicized = not finished, because I have a habit of reading books non-sequentially. Totally ripped off from Moony. ALSO I added some books to "January" I finished the previous December, so I cut off next December.

Oh, I have total confidence that you'll make it. Keep up the way you're going and you'll exceed the quota.

Maybe I should do this thing too just to whip myself into shape - I used to read all the time and now I hardly ever do it anymore. Of course, EiI seems to be getting me back on track. I'm already about 150 pages in, and can't put it down. *grins*

I cheated a bit and added on some books I finished in December :B ... winter break = lots of time to read.

I'm in love with book!Alex. [You can tell a fandom's going to hell when that funky exclamation point thing shows up...]

I just finished today! And, speaking of book!Alex (nothing wrong with the exclamation point thing...)

For the first time in my life, I told my father exactly what I thought, as I will now tell you, for the first time, exactly what I think. As with him, I ask for your forgiveness.
Love, Alex

I read that at around one in the morning last night, so it took a second for it to sink in, and then I was like, "Holy shit, is this a confession I see?"

*raises glass* Here's to book!Alex.

There are no words to describe how happy that made me ... It's probably blatantly obvious, but why do you think he wants Jonathan to forgive him for it? Because Jonathan has difficulty loving people, or for some other reason?

Same here. I was getting kind of tired by the time I read it, but it made me sit up straight in bed, tear up (in a good way), and pace my room for the next half hour trying to burn off my happiness.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why he asks Jonathan to forgive him. I didn't think about it too much, because it seemed natural for some reason, but I have no clear explanation in my mind when I try to come up with one. I suppose telling anyone you love them can put them in an awkward position, but it's definitely more than that...
