Thanks for the info Dagny, you're the best :)
Yay! Happy Birthday to Mr. Verne (I hope he's enjoying his afterlife well!)

Yea, I agree! I'll try to read his books after a year though! No harm in trying again :)

Yea, sure! Maybe a Stephen King book next month... :D

Book Review: Almost Adept

I'm really glad you're liking it :)

I don't know how to say this but I'm just can't read more that 2 pages of Verne's writing after reading (actually DNF'ing) Journey To The Centre Of The Earth!
I don't like his writing style... Not for me!

Sorry Andrew... I'm DNF'ing this one, though I hope you enjoy it :)

Hhahaha! I knew you'll say that! ;)
I'm myself reading 5 books presently! lol!

I'm done with The Lupane Legacy. It was a great read and surprisingly I enjoyed the political elements in it far more that I thought. 4-stars.

I started Around The World In 80 Days... but I'm getting horrifically annoyed by Verne's writing! It's a DNF for me. Don't wanna waste my time reading (slogging through) just half of it for the entire month!

On to Greenmantle by John Buchan.

Dagny wrote: "Cool! That's one of mine too. I wasn't sure about #6, because some sites put it in the series and some list it under "other." I just looked at it and it opens with a prologue by Sir Richard Hannay,..."

That's great... I'm starting with Greenmantle now :)

I hope you like the next part better! :)

Chris wrote: "Is anyone else getting the plots mixed up when reading multiple crime novels simultaneously? :) Clearly I'm not used to this genre :("

It's never happened to me so don't know much about it, but yea, as Dagny said it might help to read books from completely different times!
Or else, it'll be better to just stick with one as a time :)
Hope you're enjoying your reads... :)

I'm gonna complete Richard Hannay series for this challenge :)

This month is everyone's favourite and also quite a lucky one!

"Frau Richter need have no fears for her husband's virtue from this quarter, at least."

Definitely Dead"

"all-vampire radio station".... now that's interesting! Nice one Dagny :)

Yay! Me too! :)"

Already started it - and really enjoying it. I love her writing style...and whoever does the translation is great (must check)."

That's great... will surely do. Thanks Leah :)

lol! I agree! It's awesome that we all keep each other motivated and going! :)

Oh yea, I totally liked it! I'm already beginning to feel that we need one more month for Mystery! heheh...

Are the other Richard Hannay books also available on Project Gutenberg?

I've just completed the following and I liked both of them:

-The Thirty-Nine Steps
-The Affair at the Victory Ball: A Short Story
