Like any bibliophile, I love reading books about books. This challenge was right up my alley! When I joined it, I had already reached the second level of Short Story, which was to read 6-10 books. So I decided to aim for the next highest - Novella (11-15 books). And I just made it! Here are the eleven books I read for this challenge:
The Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble
Book Row: An Anecdotal and Pictorial History of the Antiquarian Book Trade by Marvin Mondlin
Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose
The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things by Paula Byrne
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
The Cherry Cola Book Club by Ashton Lee
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
One for the Books by Joe Queenan
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover Bartlett
Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books by Paul Collins
Book Row: An Anecdotal and Pictorial History of the Antiquarian Book Trade by Marvin Mondlin
Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose
The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things by Paula Byrne
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
The Cherry Cola Book Club by Ashton Lee
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
One for the Books by Joe Queenan

I would love to read many more, but I'm running out of time in the year, and I have other challenges to finish up. I'm sure there will be more books about books in my future once 2014 hits!
