[[deleted user]]

Sounds good to me too!

[Jay-me (Janet)]

But there could well be more than 25 (eventually)

[D.D. Chant]

How about the 'Possibles' challenge???

Or how about..............
"Possibly 25 but may be more books downloaded to my kindle at least 12 months ago but not read yet"

subtitle : this list contains some books that were free and some that were paid for.

I like it!!! It has a certain ring to it, trips easily from the lips with the grace of a ballerina.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

The ballerinas from "Fantasia" ?

I haven't updated this for ages, but I have been busy reading! I've been reading some authors and series, which I either bought in sales or collected when they were free. I've now finished:-

M.C. Beaton Edwardian Candlelight series as well as a one off book - The Skeleton in the Closet(bought 1 Aug 2011)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Skeleton-...

I've also read all the books which I had downloaded by Marcia Lynn McClure, about half of the books that I'd collected by Carol Grace and I've recently finished the Princes of the North series by Cindy Bouchard.

I think that I will read a few newer books now...

Good on you Karen. I need to tackle my 2011 books.

[Elle]

Woah - you are on fire Karen!

Yesterday I finished reading The Queen's Dollmaker which was ok, but it didn't have much depth to it.


bought 1 Jan 2011

Wow! I notice that it is over £8 now, it's definately not worth spending that much on!!

I haven't thought about this challenge for a while! I've been mostly reading books bought more recently - although some have been on my kindle for a year. I did read one a while ago which goes back to 2011 - Tainted Tree - and it was very good, I should have read it sooner!!

Bought 6th November 2011
Much too good to have been languishing in my TBR for so long!

Hi Kew! Hope the challenge is going well even if you arent focusing on it.

I haven't consciously thought about this challenge for a while and have just been reading what ever I fancied. For some reason I decided to read Kane and Abel today which I know has been on my kindle for ages! I read one Jeffrey Archer book that someone lent me a few years ago, can't remember which now, and I wasn't very impressed with it. However, I decided to give this a go - I downloaded it on 5 May 2011 when it was free! Only just started, but so far I am actually enjoying it!

I think I read Kane and Abel years ago and really enjoyed it

[Elle]

i downloaded it when it was free too for my dad but i think ive since deleted it

Well, I've been pretty rubbish at this challenge, basically just reading what took my fancy instead of sticking to my plans here.

However, I look at the kindle daily deals today and find one that I bought in December 2011 - A Carpet Ride To Khiva: Seven Years On The Silk Road
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0... (99p today).

I've just finished reading something so have decided that this will be my next read. It's garnered some good reviews since it was last on promotion!

[Elle]

It's okay Karen - the main aim in reading (in my opinion) is to enjoy it!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Elle - I've decided to continue this challenge next year too as I still have many books on my kindle which are over a year old!

Finished and enjoyed A Carpet Ride To Khiva: Seven Years On The Silk Road

Now I've started Yesterday Morning which I noticed in the 12 days of kindle sale and had already bought in Dec 2011.

99p at the mo

I let this slip a bit last year, so I am going to carry this challenge on next year. I'll start a new thread though so that I can track my progress afresh.

This can be archived now, Patti.
