Yes, I am starting some books towards the end of other books. How else am I going to finish 100 books in a year? 

And me being a uber organizational person that I am, I have created an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all my books, when started/finished, how many pages read, order read in, and also if the book is a paper book vs ebook. I've decided to keep track of the pages of "real" books and ebooks, since I'm not sure if the format of the font/margins/etc affect how many pages are really in an ebook. Like my #3 book is an ebook, I have it highlighted in red in my spreadsheet so I can calculate the total pages and then have a subtotal of ebook pages. Because #3 book is 195 ebook pages, but then the ebook version of Dracula is over 1000 pages... I highly doubt that book is 1000 pages long. That's Les Miserables page count territory. 

Yeah. I'm weird.

And yes, once I finish a book, I'll do a review. I'll post a review of Changeless sometime this weekend.

    1. It gets even better, my book-geekiness. I have another spreadsheet that catalogs ALL my books and there's separate tabs for Fiction, Series, Manga, Non-Fiction, Classics, etc. And everything's color coded.

      I think I have a problem... o.0
