I kinda cheated. I've only got 30 books from 2010 on my list and I looked at them a most are ones I'm not interested in reading any more. So, I am thinking about moving them to a revisit exclusive shelf to see if I am be more interested later.

Good idea about the "hard to get" shelf. With the closure of many online book publishers (ARE, Fictionwise, Samhain, Ellora's Cave) I've missed out on a lot of books

Lusie, I tanked last year with the lost books, so I'm hoping that finishing this year helps me going forward.

I found that several of my books on my wish list that are old are now out of print so that's been difficult

FINISHED!!!

I'm going to to continue on with 2011 for Lost 2019 too. I'll keep chipping away!

Woot! Go Lusie!!

Great job!!

Oh ok! Can I back date from the date I finished last time?

Wait we can do another round? I'm on board for that!

Woot! Great job!!

This was a hard one, but I really loved the challenge.

Great job, Dee!!

I've only got one more to go on this one, I'm determined to make it!!

Tien wrote: "bahaha, Sassafrass, good try! The movie was just as crappy! lol"

It was so close to a DNF for me. But I kept at it just to say that I finished it. It was pretty bad in some places. LOL

I will NOT be looking for this movie on netflix I can assure you that.

I read Vampire Academy for this month and this was just "ok" for me. There were a lot of eye rolling moments. Lots of extraneous high school stuff and I guess I should have expected that since it's set in high school. But for some reason it did nothing more than annoy me. I started to enjoy things a bit more by then end but the damage was done and I really couldn't give it any higher rating.

I don't know if I will continue on with this series. Maybe if it Need it for a challenge or something.

I gave this one *2.5 STARS* simply because I thought the premise was interesting but the story was too all over the place for me.

Done!!

This was a great review Christina. I've never read any Patterson books and honestly, I only know of the book through the movie which I did enjoy. It's interesting how the character in the book is different than how he was portrayed in the movie.

I think I may have to read the book just to see how I feel about it as well. Funny how a good review can make you want to read something even when the person who is reviewing didn't like the book.
