Maria’s comments from the tbr-reading-challenge group.

Samme her, så det er da super timing :) Så er det da bare det vi gør. Jeg skal ganske vist på ferie weekenden efter påske, men mon ikke også vi kan nå at læse den inden da?

Jeg starter en ny tråd :)

Så kom den endelig! :-) Jeg er klar til at gå i gang når du er det :-)

Finished "Breaking Free Day By Day". 3/5. Hadn't realized it was a devotional, but it had some good thoughts, so I'm not too disappointed.

Finished "Who Killed My Daughter?", 4.5/5, devastating book, but so well written!

Finished "Leap of Faith", 4/5. Fascinating book and an amazing love story :)

Don't worry about it - I hadn't really made the rules clear last year. This started out as a small, private group, so I'm actually THRILLED at how it has grown! :o)

Oooh, I want to read "When God Was A Rabbit" too - I hope you'll like it :)

Bare så du ikke tror jeg har glemt alt om det - jeg reserverede bogen 1. januar og er pt. nummer 32(!!!) i køen... :-/ Sig til hvis du bliver utålmodig, så må jeg se om jeg kan finde den til en betalelig pris et sted.

I know! But then all of his books seem to be, so I guess I should have known to expect it.

Finished "Down Under". 5+/5. Amazing book!

do i have to read one book per month or whenever?
Just whenever :) And if you finish all 12 before the end of the year, you're more than welcome to add more. The idea of the group is just to limit those TBR mountains we have, which is why books not owned aren't eligible :)

Thanks! I haven't read any of those yet other than "A Game of Thrones", but "The Awakening" is on my to-read list. Hope you like them :)

Taylor, which 12 books are you challenging yourself to read in 2012? Remember, they have to be books you own as per 31-12-2011 to be eligible for this challenge :)

Finished "The Maze Runner". 4/5

Yeah... not gonna finish that last one. 11 out of 12 books isn't too bad though! :-)

Uh, heldige asen! Men fint - så giver jeg lyd fra mig når jeg har bogen (og vi er efter den 15. januar). Skal vi starte en ny tråd her til den, eller blive i "din" tråd?

Super - altid noget at det kun er en af os der skal på biblioteket :)

Hvad om jeg så først i det nye år bestiller "Den 100-årige" over bibliotek.dk og så lader dig vide når den kommer? Ville det passe dig?

Gerne! Det ville da give motivation for at få dem læst. Og der er en del eksemplarer af begge på biblioteket, så det ligner ikke bøger man skal vente flere måneder på at få fat i.

Hævnens Gudinde er fantastisk, og hendes nye - De glemte piger - er endnu bedre.

Både "Den hundredeårige..." og "The summer without men" står på min to-read list, så jeg glæder mig til at høre hvad du synes om dem :-)

World Without End er - efter min mening - endnu bedre end Pillars of the Earth.

Happy reading!

Here's my TBR-list for 2012. I reserve the right to change the list if I end up reading any of these books before January 1st ;-)

1. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
2. Paganini kontrakten by Lars Kelper
3. Peter Pan's NeverWorld by Peter Von Brown
4. Breaking Free by Beth Moore
5. Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life by Queen Noor Al-Hussein
6. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
7. Down Under by Bill Bryson
8. Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes
9. The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
10. Who Killed My Daughter? by Lois Duncan
11. Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card
12. Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

One month and two books to go. Both mammoths though, so somehow I don't expect to finish both of them.
