Lol Angela! Seriously though, I hope George starts being interesting soon - I'm really disappointed! Plus Angela is bound to run out of egg jokes at some point...
Cool - I enjoyed Mr Stink when it was on last year, it was really funny but with a good message and a bit sad at the end.
The Island of Doctor Moreau (the island is apparently in the vicinity of Indonesia so it counts)
It's not a challenge if it's easy ;)
Oooh I like the look of the challenge of the century! Good Luck :)
That was the plan - I found some really good books that I might not have read if I hadn't been looking for something set in a specific country. As I said, it was supposed to be a yearly challenge (from the group Around the World in Eighty Books) but I couldn't do it in one year with group reads and other stuff I wanted to read as well - so am just globetrotting at my own pace now. Off to Indonesia with HG Well's next!
reserved just in case ;)
1. I'm continuing on with an Around the World Challenge where you read a book from each country - it was meant to be done in a year but I only got halfway through last year as I get distracted too easily. Here is where I have already visited:(view spoiler)
So I've been to a total of 47 different countries in sucession last year and have another 33 left to finish my circumnavigation just like Mr Fogg (After that I might fill in the gaps, haven't decided yet)
A lot of the fantasy and scary type novels that I like to read are also a lot quicker to get through than proper literary fiction so I think that helps ;) Plus I very rarely switch the telly on either!
Definitely, it was just what I needed when I read it as well, I was tired and couldn't concentrate on anything but a good, old fashioned story for kids with magic and adventure and stuff was just the ticket!
When my brain functions properly I'm a pretty fast reader lol - I made it to 178 last year so thought why not try for an even number?
I challenged myself to read 200 books this year ( as I managed to beat my target in 2013 which was 150) so here goes....
Not yet ha ha, I think we are all round about halfway through ;)
You can do it Ellie! Good Luck :)
ha ha we are all champing at the bit to start this years set of challenges and reads!
Ok cool, I didn't use it last year cos the group only started halfway through the year but will defo use it this time round ;)
Yeah, if I haven't broken at least 2 of mine by the end of New Years Day's there's something seriously wrong with me!
Are we having a folder for personal challenges and/or book lists this year?
Right now I'm reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood and also having another crack at The Children's Book by AS Byatt - I've tried to read it before but gave up but having more luck this time round so far...
Got it! Lol and I wasn't going to buy any more books this year till I'd made a dint in the tbr pile..... oh well, best get started ;)HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
