Aww! If the bingo goal is GR recs you could visit your recommendation page and choose from there.

^What Orlok said! :)

I hope you have more luck with your next read!!"

Ditto!

Thank you DoodlePanda! :)

I was so thrown off this last year that everything was just... messy.

I was honestly too lazy and preoccupied to update my last read of 2017.

I really must do a better job of keeping my thread(s) updated this year.

Here is my Year in Review.

You had a very successful 2017!

I wish you continued progress and many great reads in 2018!! :)

I feel no pity. I Love the Potter series!

I may reread them one day. :)

Fast!?! They're like 700pgs long! lol

I also read the first of the Innkeeper series, and I loved it. Rearranging my reading schedule is what allowed me to add them in at the end of the next year.

I really hope I can keep up!!

Looks like a good year to me. :)

Wishing you a fantastic 2018!

Quite a few changes were made, things were added, and liberties were taken. What I saw wasn't bad... in fact, the movies are quite beautiful. Like with reading, however, I just have to be in the mood to watch movies, and that doesn't happen very often.

I'm an extremely moody person. I'll blame it on my zodiac sign (Cancer) LOL.

The Hobbit is the only book in the series that I have read more than once, and I have no idea how long ago that actually was. It will be nice to revisit after all of these years.

I had planned to watch the Hobbit trilogy during Christmas but lost interest in the middle of movie #2. I hope to go back to it before winter break is over, but my kids want to do a Marvel Movie-thon for the New year, so I'll have to wait and see on finishing the Hobbit.

Orlok wrote: "Cool! Especially The Hobbit ;)"

That is one of my favorite stories of all time! :)

Thank you! I'll need it. :)
