I didn't get to any of the books in this shelf I planned to read so I picked up
, an erotica book set in Russia. Oy vey! This sucked completely - I gave it 2 stars. The plot was crazy and the "hero" was so freaking unappealing. It gave me the inspiration to create a WTF shelf.
Wow, I just realized that I didn't read ONE classic in 2014. I make a point of reading a couple every year but I think I missed them last year because of the big reading slump of 2014. I may have to read at least one of the classics I see in the world lit shelf.
And of course, Harry Potter is in there but it makes sense to me. Those books were read by millions of people all over the world.I'm considering the following...most likely I'll read one of the first two because they fit another challenge I'm in.
Vote everybody!

I would assume that Tien wouldn't pick a shelf with 28 books for us to read and she meant another shelf (either the one I posted or others with a similar name) but she can come in and confirm.

Here's my review of RPO: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... (it's a bit long but that's the usual with me, LOL!) I just realized that I re-listened it less than 6 months ago and enjoyed it as much the second time around. Now I'm thinking of relistening to it again!
It has the most books so I'm debating between that one and laugh out loud.
Lauren - I don't know if you read dystopia but a lot of it is considered science fiction.
is fantastic.
Wow! I wouldn't know what to pick from that list!
No shelf yet?
LOL, Susan. I thought your message was the new shelf announcement!

I'm not participating in Readers's Pursuit so I'm having time to concentrate on this. Also, I've decided to take it somewhat easy and pick books that are calling out to me instead of those that I've been neglecting for whatever reason.
I didn't realized I hadn't updated this list in a month. Anyhow, I finished my 13th book, which sucked by the way. :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
As I originally had decided to read 17 books and I'm almost done (I'm reading two books from the list now) I decided to up it to 25. As an additional hurdle, I'm picking only books that have been on my TBR prior to 2015. Just for kicks, I'm keeping track of how many books I'm reading per year added. No surprisingly, 2014 is ahead!

Matt & Debi - The Harry Potter series is SO worth the read. I came to it late too - I read the series maybe 2 or 3 years ago and was blown away.If you are into audios, I totally recommend those. They are among the best I've listened.

This is a shelf where looking at the genres tab for the most read list might be useful. I found several more books from my TBR in there without having to look page by page:

(didn't even have to check the shelf, LOL!)
It seems a lot of what I read lately falls in this shelf. :) I just finished
(a book from my Moving Mountains list) and gave it 4-stars. There weren't that many new things in this series that I haven't read before but I really liked the heroine with a Chinese ancestry and the serious discussions on the whole mated pair business. Definitely continuing the series. :)
