118012 Well done, Rosemarie! I struggled to eat even one pie last year, so I'm impressed at how well you're doing. Glad you're enjoying the selections.

118012 Depends... it might be good for a while, but I hear immortality grows tiresome. ;)

118012 Don't know what it is about those shiny new books, but the allure is deadly for sure!

118012 Lol, I'm not sure why, but that happens to me a lot too. That's why it's good to give yourself a bit of choice instead of forcing yourself through them in order.

But, maybe it's time to re-examine those books that you're really struggling to pick up and see if you think you ever will. Sample the first 20 pages or so to see if you're even interested anymore. If not, take it off your shelf altogether. At least you'll have made a choice.

Good luck both of you!

Becky, there's a list of the top 200 books published in 2017 that have been added by Goodreads members here: Most Popular Books Published in 2017. Not all of them have been published yet, but it might give you some ideas.

118012 I'm trying not to eat the food in Fairie - appropriately this was an issue in Flame of Sevenwaters!

118012 I finished Flame of Sevenwaters, the last book in the Sevenwaters series. It's all about family, with a brother-sister relationship as one of the main themes of the book. Loved this series...

118012 Ha. That's terrible. :)

118012 That's always just a little frustrating.
