Self Challenge: Attacking my Kindle Free unread books list

[Elle]

You are on a blue theme!

[✿Claire✿]

I am, one of the challenges I'm doing needed some blue books read. Now I'm onto the seven letters/words category!!

[✿Claire✿]

Reading next :)

[Elle]

That cover is a bit creepy...

[✿Claire✿]

Yeah, I can't decide if it's creepy or really pretty!!

[Jud]

If the lady's face was different it would be pretty but she is a bit creepy looking. the rest of it is good

[✿Claire✿]

Well, I've finally caught up on the ones I've read recently! Now everything's finished I can get back into reading books again :)

[✿Claire✿]

I've just finished it was surprisingly good :)

[✿Claire✿]

I've just read , a surprisingly good read. I'm hoping to get back into this challenge more now, want to get to at least 50 by Christmas, preferably more :)

[D.D. Chant]

Well done Claire!

[✿Claire✿]

Thanks D.D! I've started The List today :) It's good so far

[✿Claire✿]

Finished . Definitely worth a read and I'll look for more of his books.

[D.D. Chant]

Wow!!!

That was quick!!

[Elle]

i dont think i mentioned this before but i really applaud you for doing this Claire.


its nice to see someone really trying to tackle books they got for free as most of them are self-pubbed and that is daunting!

[✿Claire✿]

The problem I'm finding at the moment is that these ones tend to be the earlier ones and I'm having trouble finding them on my kindle!! I might put the books for this challenge into a separate folder so they're easier to pick :)

[✿Claire✿]

And Thank you for that Elle :) The majority of books I've on the kindle are free, unless it's really cheaper on the kindle, if I'm going to buy it I tend to go for a paper copy as it's likely I'll re-read it so the free ones take up a very significant bulk of my books!

[✿Claire✿]

I'm reading at the moment :)

[✿Claire✿]

I've read and over the last couple of days, now onto . 42 down, hundreds more to go!! :)

[✿Claire✿]

As I've had a bit of an uncertain week, I've done an awful lot of reading and read:

I'm now halfway through

[✿Claire✿]

58 out of the first 100 read :) and resorting my kindle books has made finding the next one off this list easier :)

I've read since my last post and I've got ready to start on my way to my course tomorrow :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Good on you Claire.

[✿Claire✿]

Thanks Desley, if nothing else, this last week or so has given me some quality reading time :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I am jealous, I've had the opposite!

[✿Claire✿]

I've updated with the last few books I've read from this list.

I've also taken two books off the list from a series I thought I had all of but don't. So I've replaced them with two other books :)

[✿Claire✿]

I'm all up to date now, still trying to finish two that are in progress. 64/100 read for the first 100 :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I'm jealous, I wish I had read that many books this year!!

[✿Claire✿]

Ok, I've randomly drawn the next four to read, hopefully before the end of the year :) They are...
Number 77:
Number 69:
Number 67:
Number 7:

[✿Claire✿]

I've just finished The Pharos Objective (which was great) and Twenty Tiny Tales (which was terrible!) so two more down :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Good on you, I have twenty tiny tales, I hope I enjoy it.

[Vanessa]

I should so do this too....... Keep it up! :)

[✿Claire✿]

So it seems I've already read . But it's far too late at night now to think about another one to replace it so I've decided to be generous and give myself a freebie!
I've read two out of the four on my 'next' list in the last few days, as well as and have started the third one :)

[✿Claire✿]

That's my 'next' list finished so I'm now going to read followed by and then

[✿Claire✿]

I've read a few more - 19 to go - I'll update it sometime after Christmas when I've done a few more :)

[✿Claire✿]

I'm hoping to almost finish this set by the beginning of february, so I'm now debating... Do I add the next lot in here or start a new thread? Any suggestions?

[D.D. Chant]

Ummm...

New thread??? I think Peppermint P said that she was going to clean up the 2013 challenges. (Stop laughing!!! She'll probably get around to it by summer!!!) ;-P

[✿Claire✿]

I didn't realise they were supposed to be yearly challenges! Whoops!! I never expected that I'd get through as many as I have done! I'll start another thread then :)

[Elle]

Lol. Well technically you could continue but most of us use it for challenges in a year because we coincide it with the yearly book challenge on goodreads and just read a certain type of books for it.. if you know what I mean!


say you want to read a 100 books this year, you'd make a challenge wanting to read 70 free ones etc.

but like i said, feel free to keep going with this

[✿Claire✿]

Ah, ok. I missed that when I first signed up!! In that case, I'll get the rest of this lot finished by the end of the month and set up a new one for the next 100, which I'm hoping to read at least all of in 2014 (last year I made the mistake of reading other free ones rather than just the ones on the list!)

[✿Claire✿]

The challenges don't get completely deleted do they?

[Elle]

This is our first year which we have finished fully.

Patti wanted to archive them just!

[✿Claire✿]

Ok, that makes sense :)

[✿Claire✿]

I've done an update, at the moment, I've read 79, failed to finish 6 and have 15 left to read :)

I've already started and so I'm making good progress. My aim is to finish them by the end of January :)

[✿Claire✿]

I've read two more, and , both were very good. I'm going to read the rest (hopefully) in roughly shortest to longest order, not many more to go :)

[✿Claire✿]

This is the order I'm planning to read the remaining books, hopefully to finish them by the end of the month (but I may be being optimistic!!)

1. - 253 pages ✔
2. - 256 pages ✔
3. - 260 pages ✔
4. - 275 pages ✔
5. - 286 pages X
6. - 320 pages (already started)
7. - 370 pages
8. - 382 pages
9. - 392 pages

11. - 400 pages

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Good luck!

[✿Claire✿]

I've read and which were both fairly awful! The first one took ages to read, the second less so. On to next

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Hope you enjoy this one more Claire.

[✿Claire✿]

It's good so far :)

[✿Claire✿]

was great, I really enjoyed it :)
Now on to

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Glad you enjoyed it. You're doing well!
