Love the ticker!
I have Outlander, Cutting for Stone, and Olive Kitteridge on my list too. A few of us are going to try and sync our schedules and read together. I am like you. I have no interest to lay out the months. What if I feel like an adventure and that month is a bio? Too confining. I have read The Red Tent. Very intereting and compelling story. Great list!
Welcome Qixochitl. Please tell us the origin of your Goodreads name. I also thought it was Aztec or Mayan.
We used to have a member from Akmaar. She told us lots of great things about the Netherlands. I would like to go there someday. It sounds so picuresque.
Welcome Liisa. Glad to meet another Book Addict. For the challenge, you don't have to already own the book. Just a list of books you have had on a TBR list (even mental) for at least a year. Please join us, it's going to be great fun. Plus we vote and select 2 books each month as club reads to discuss together.
Welcome Lolita. We have many Canadians here at Book Addicts. Your 400 book collection sounds fabulous. I can't help you either since I don't keep most of my books. Only a few favorites. I like to match them up with the right person and pass them on. When that fails, I get credit at the second hand book store and get my new books practically free.
RIP Buckeye. You will be remembered for reviving your species.
The Shining is a masterpiece.
Mary, I took Midnight's Children off mine. Too many others were calling my name....
It's like the old stranded on a desert island thing... who gets left behind?
So many books, so little time!
pretty ticker
Cute!
I'm the same way. I pretty much always finish. Your non-fiction list is awesome. I read and enjoyed two of them.
I think I'm pretty happy with my list now.
Sounds good. A lot of us have books in common and would be awesome to be able to discuss. Was it David who was keeping tabs of which books were overlapping? I wasn't planning on laying my books out by month so I could be impulsive, lol. But I will wait until you ladies read The Lovely Bones. I would also like to share Outlander, Olive Kitteridge, and Cutting for Stone. I have purposely avoided the Outlander discussion thread since it's inception because I knew I would read it sooner or later.
I'm changing one book. Subing Blood Meridian for Slauterhouse Five and making it an alternate.
Still plan to pick up Water for Elephants before the end of the year. Probably for December as I read Dicken's Carol the last time we read it as a club and am not interested in the other main read this go round.
I will probably end up with more tbrs as I research your list. I have heard of very few of them. I have read other Lisa Gardner.
oooo, I may change my challenge reads to include Blood Meridian as it qualifies as a TBR for several years...
Love your ticker,Karen. You almost made it to 12!
Silver, leave it to you to make me laugh in a discussion of a dark story. "I love bleak and depressing." lol
I really love The Border Trilogy, got a lot out of No Country for Old Men, think The Road is pure genius. (So many levels) But many McCarthyists swear Blood Meridian is his true masterpiece. Someday I will read it.
Happy Birthday Britta to a fellow Sagittarious. Mine is on Thanksgiving.
You won The Book Thief on Goodreads? Wow
