Natasha's Reading List
Mod
No problem can't wait! I'm actually working on compiling a list, I work better that way =)
nice list. I need to find me some throw back novels, going to go thru my kindle tonight
Thanks! That's a good idea, I should've done that lol! That library is outrageous!
how was Scandals, what would you rate it?
Sorry, just now seeing this. I gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed it, I reviewed it as well.
2 books down! I'm off to a good start this year =)
Mod
I started with the throwback year because I thought it would be so hard but it really wasn't too bad. So I challenged myself to look for appealing books that weren't in the last 5 years.
Oops forgot to update! Just finished my 3rd read from the list the other day =)
I don't know where my head is smh... I have knocked 4 reads off the list.
When you comment on my post if I add a comment will you see it or do I need to come here and comment?
I get notifications for the activity of the group so I see both :-). It's just a matter of me paying attention.
7 down.. I really need to focus on my list more. But some books I chose are in a series so I'm trying to read the books that preceded them lol..*sigh*
Lol... I am having that same problem. I am back on track a Lil bit the two I am reading now are on my list. We only have 8 months left.
I need to add like 5 to my "read" side by July to be on track! I'm struggling to find solid reading time. Too many books and not enough time... the struggle!
Lol, I hear you I have to balance between Candy Crush, reading, husband and kids. At the moment husband and kids are losing.
Lol! I need that balance! Right now reading is losing to the games, dvr, work and home stuff...*sigh*
Mod
Okay, I gotta get back on track! My goal is to knock out 2-3 off my list by the end of the month. Smh...gots to do better lol
Just finished #9... at this rate I'm not going to make it! I better get on the good foot!!
I guess I won't make it either I am father behind than you.
#10 down and currently working on 11 and 12 =). Maybe I can do this!
#11 out the way with #12 close behind =)
Finished #12, 1/2 way through #13... slow and steady...
#15 done...slow and steady... :-/
Idk how I'm going to read 10 books in less than 2 months o_O! I only think one of them is on audio (11 books since "x" will probably be 2 sigh)....Going to try to get at least one out the way this weekend while on this road trip!
Don't think like that we are going to do it, we are going to stop reading stuff not on the list and focus on list or change list to what you are reading. We can do this.
Your letter O book was a page turner for me, I read in one day.
It's so hard Shavonna! Lol, I have two of the books on deck, one to read and one to listen to. Just gotta stay focused I guess. Thanks!
Ooh really? Do you have it (ebook to lend) or did you borrow from the library?
I am determine to finish this challenge.
Let me check but I think I got from library.
Darn just finished #17, going to attempt to finish #18 by Turkey Day and hopefully #19 will not be far off. I really slacked this year!!
