Self Challenges:- Elle for 2013

[Elle]

I'm going well so far. Keeping up with the HP re-read and been spending the last few days attempting to cut down my dipper books.

I have 41 in my dipper collection on my Kindle and currently 26/27 books on my currently-reading shelf on goodreads. Freaking ridiculous!!

[Elle]

cheek adding that last book by ah well.

you can download the HP 'prequel' (its like a super short scene with some well loved characters) from goodreads for free!

[Elle]

I finished Invictus earlier.

Henley has a wonderful way with words and I'll be taking to the poetry thread to share some of my favourites tomorrow.

[Elle]

I finished a dipper book last night.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Million-Plays...

It was pretty poor. I do not recommend it.

I finished a few shorts also

the lovecraft book is available for free on places like project gutenberg etc etc. i can't remember exactly where i picked it up from.

[Elle]

I'm shamelessly dumping a link here so i don't loose it

Good on you Elle, I'm not a fan of Lovecraft

[Jud]

Elle, I'm reading Dinner With a Vampire and I think you might like it, it's not the best, written a little 'immaturely' and there is something about the story that doesn't sit right with me but it's still enjoyable.

I have the DTB version so I can lend it to you next time I'm home (we HAVE to meet up next time! - it's my fault though, I know) or I can post it

[Elle]

Hi Jud - Sorry for the late reply. It's been a busy time. I have found it in the library and will pick it up when I get a chance and yes, we definitely need to organise something!

Desley - I am still a little unsure. I'm still finding my way around him but so far I like him.

[Elle]

I'll be back here a little later to actually update it!!

[Elle]

Finished 15 books so far in 2013 - but a lot of them are shorts so my page count is just over 1100 now.

I am going to try and read some actual books in the next few weeks.

Fingers crossed

That sounded a bit naughty, Elle!!!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Glad your liking him. Think I should have read some shorts

[Elle]

LOL DD!! I never even thought about it that way.

Desley - I haven't tackled a longer one yet but I think I will stick to the shorts for now

[Elle]

Everything updated so far

[Elle]

Updated with another 2 movies

[Elle]

Updated another time.

I managed to complete one book I had put to the wayside and another 2 books. One was a short story (which was incredibly fucked up. holy crap) and another a short book (200~ pages)

[D.D. Chant]

I'm afraid to ask...

Well done anyway, Elle! ;-P

[Elle]

It was.... very screwed up. I almost feel bad ruining it because I feel like reading it blind is almost more shocking.

[Elle]

Updated films and 1 new book (The Great Gatsby)

[Elle]

updated movie list and another book

[Elle]

Updated. I'm so way behind on my page count. I need to read longer damn books.

[Jud]

Try War and Peace! It's taking forever...

[Elle]

I'd rather shoot myself in the foot, but thanks Jud ;)!

[Jud]

I'm beginning to wish I had done that instead

[D.D. Chant]

Lol!!!

[Elle]

Hahaha!

Just about to update with two shorts an a short-ish anthology. The anthology I had like 20% left and I only realised last night that it was all like things that weren't Kindle appropriate (puzzles and the sort) so bleh. Two shorts have been sitting on my kindle for a while now and I have a few more I wanna clear out too.

[Jud]

I'm 16% into War and Peace...

I'm sorry Jud, but every time you say that name I just think about 'Sky High'!!! You know: the lad who's name is Warren Peace!!! ;-P

[Elle]

HAHAH Omg I LOVE THAT FILM!

[D.D. Chant]

Me too, Warren Peace was kinda hot!!! ;-P

[Elle]

Yes.

[Jud]

I don't care, I'm 17% through now!

[Elle]

LOL! A whole 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Party timeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jud]

I'm away for a 30 minute break now, I bet I don't even get to 20%

[Jud]

Still on 17%...

[D.D. Chant]

Lol!

[Elle]

,....................


NEVER reading that book.

[Jud]

After an hour reading in the sunshine I finally reached 20%

I'm hoping the last 20% or so will be all appendices that I don't have to read... Wish I'd never started.

[Elle]

updated as i finally plowed through the 3rd hithhickers

[Jud]

Ive reached the dizzying heights of 21%

[Elle]

You'll be finished in no time! is it at least a good read?

[Jud]

I hope you are being sarcastic! !

I am enjoying it (thankfully) but its quite slow

[Elle]

Ha, no time as in never ;)

And that's good at least. I have no idea what to start next..

[Jud]

Have you read dracula yet?

Robin Hood is more like a collection of short stories of what Robin Hood and his Merry Men got up to, so if you fancy shorter stories you could go with that?

[Elle]

I read Dracula many years ago but I plan to re-read it this year. I also have the audiobook from the library.

Robin Hood is also on the list for this year.


I think I might read another series book next then move on to Robin Hood.

[Elle]

i've updated one book and also wrote up my year challenged. i had to kept updated it in the other group but hadn't edited it here

[Jud]

I'm finally 36% in to War & Peace! I was so excited I had to share :o)

[D.D. Chant]

Wow! Well done Jud!!

[Elle]

i need to update this but working tonight so will need to wait until tomorrow.

go you jud!

[Elle]

updated my lists!
