Holly’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

I just can't get into it! It's the one novel I really really should read. Especially since I'm studying it next semester...

Yeah, I might give it another shot. If I can't get into it then, I won't bother continuing!

I've read that part. I don't know if its the writing, or the plotline...

That comic made me laugh! I really need to read Wuthering Heights (it's been haunting me like Jane Eyre has been haunting many people in this thread).

And I really need to try out some Anne Bronte! Any recommendations?

I'll definitely check some of those out!

And don't forget, the genre challenge is just an option extra, no need to commit fully. But perhaps this will be your month!

Out of interest, has anyone read The Castle of Otranto? Really struggling to get into it...

68. Maurice by E.M. Forster

Fantastic book, can't praise it enough. There are some specific quotes that I absolutely adore, and will post here later.

Really starting to love LGBT literature, especially older novels.

Completed!

Maurice definitely lived up to my expectations, and other peoples recommendations. Seriously wonderful book!

Thanks for the warning! :P

50 pages into Maurice and loving it! Casually dying over Maurice and Durham though.

I'm glad you think so, Sandy! :)

Yes, yes I am! :P

I'm so behind! Like 9 books behind schedule!

That's insane! And would make my life so much easier!

I keep on getting so behind on this...

Natalie, I'd be really interested in seeing that list! :D

I'll definitely attempt this!

A few new Mini Challenges are up!

We have the new Points Challenge, which we would love your input on!

And the Banned Books Challenge, to celebrate Banned Books week that happened a few weeks ago (which we forgot...)!

53 last year, but that was before I really got into Goodreads (which really started pushing my reading). I admit, I did aim big this year. But still, I want to get there!

I just don't like failing goals!

And I really need to get back into reviewing...

Maurice it is then!

But I'm not fast enough. Although, by fast, I mean like read a book in like a minute. So I can get through all the greats easily in a day! :P

I think it is definitely accumulative. I've definitely gotten faster over the last year or so too!

Although I don't think I'm going to be able to reach my goal this year! :(
