Stacy (stacymarie913) | 3399 comments Ok - here's a fun idea (well, fun to me, lol). How about I post a challenge to all of us as a group to read 1,000 books in 2011?
Do you think we can do it?


Suzanne | 566 comments I'll participate! I'm going to try for 100.


Kourtney | 938 comments Sure! Why not?!


Kristine (kc0217) | 323 comments Sounds fun! I'm trying for 100.


Ashley If we keep having the Quarter Challenges, we're bound to hit 1000!


Stacy (stacymarie913) | 3399 comments Awesome you guys! I figure the easiest way to do it is to post the number and the book. But as always - feel free to add some commentary about the book too. We need to replace the vancancies on the TBR list! :)


Kristin (Kritters Ramblings) | 461 comments I am in. i wonder how quickly we can get to 1,000!


Stacy (stacymarie913) | 3399 comments I don't know, but I'm excited for it. I wondered if 1,000 was too many.....but I don't know....

I don't think so!!


Kristine (kc0217) | 323 comments Don't know where you want to post them Stacy, but here is one I just finished:

1) Guyaholic - Carolyn Mackler


Stacy (stacymarie913) | 3399 comments Yup, post 'em here. That's exactly what I was thinking Kristine! :)

Thanks for getting us started!!!!

I can't believe I was the first one! I thought for sure Kourtney would be first!! Couldn't sleep last night (late night cup of coffee).

LOL, if my daughter would've been at her dad's yesterday I might've been the first one. :) I'm reading Jen Lancaster's second book right now, Bright Lights, Big Ass: A Self-Indulgent, Surly, Ex-Sorority Girl's Guide to Why it Often Sucks in the City, or Who are These Idiots and Why Do They All Live Next Door to Me?, and it's freaking hilarious. I can't count how many times I've laughed so hard I couldn't read until I calmed down. My poor bf has been stuck listening to bits and pieces of it when he's here. He laughs too, whether that's because he genuinely thinks it's as funny as I do, or he's just going along with it because he thinks I'm a loon, I'll never know. :)

Nope, still counts as a book read. So funny that you ask that too because the book you posted is on my covers challenge list, that whole series is. LOL!

Suzanne | 566 comments 6. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I guess that could happen a lot, if people read the same books for the cover challenge :)

How was that one?


Suzanne | 566 comments Stacy wrote: "Suzanne wrote: "6. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins"

Stacy- I loved it! It was so cute. Great characters, plus it takes place in Paris (which I love!) I could really relate to Anna--I think I was a lot like her in high school and college.

And if you got that one from Stacy, can I mooch it off of you?! I've been wanting to read it!


Kristin (Kritters Ramblings) | 461 comments 11. The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog by Andrew O'Hagan


Kourtney | 938 comments 12) Cracked Up to Be - Courtney Summers

GREAT BOOK - although very heavy storyline it's so great!


Stacy (stacymarie913) | 3399 comments Wow, it was only the 4th day of the year with the last post and we've already gotten to 12 books! We're definitely gonna hit 1,000 before the end of the year.
Anyone want to take a guess as to when we'll get to 1,000 books? I'm going to say......Octoberish?

I'd agree with October... I would say sooner than that, but, summer always slows reading down.

Actually I got it at Bargain Books. I really liked it. The lengths that the mothers will go to especially when you have money. It made me laugh.

Someone has it posted on PBS (last 2 books I got from there had cat hair so I don't want to request it). It is on my wishlist for BM though!


Tara | 1331 comments I will post it to your bookmooch then. I will do it either tonight or tomorrow morning. :)
