D.G.’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

Ok, I'll pick for you! :) Give me a minute...

How many picks do you want?

Thanks, Julie. Don't know which one I'll go with yet...

Excellent Bea. Thanks! Let's see which one I feel like reading. I think I'll take a dip in them all and continue with the one that calls out to me. ;)

Landed on P: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry -Book Request...can somebody please pick 3 books for me? Different genres if possible so I can pick depending on mood. ;)

FYI...here's my shelf as it hasn't been linked yet:

Here's my shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I'm going to put together my list and join. ;)

Way to go ladies!

I think I'm going to stop mine at 62 ;).

Waiting impatiently for MM16 to be opened.

I did theater in college so I'm fond of reading plays. It takes me back to those days.

Not sure what I'll read. I've had Waiting for Godot in my TBR for ages!

Next year, I'll do that from the beginning. This challenge REALLY help me pick up old books because if I picked lots of old books because they fit the shelf.

One thing I'll add next year is book from a series I started. I only add the next book in a series once I finish the previous book so once I read a series book that had been on my TBR for a long time, the next book didn't qualify for the challenge because I had added in 2015. :) So I'll add 'next in series' category. :)

Read , which I thought was fantasy but it turned out to be a paranormal romance set in medieval times. It was meh so I gave it 3 stars. Great idea but bland execution.

Thanks, ladies! After the first 10, I just picked them as I went depending on the shelf, which made it easier for me. Putting books in a list is a surefire way for me NOT to read them, LOL!

Finished book #60!

I have 3 more to go and I think I'll stop there. Here's the distribution per year added. I've made a lot of progress with 2013 books. ;)

Books Read per Year Added
2010: 5
2011: 7
2012: 13
2013: 19
2014: 16

I finished and gave it 2.5 stars. Lurved the narration but the hero drove me bunkers. Not enough brains for my taste.

Spanish is my native language so no big accomplishment there. :)

If a book was originally written in Spanish, I try to read it in Spanish if I can get my hands on it. I haven't read a couple of books in Spanish in a couple of years though.
