✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments Finished Death Of An Obnoxious Tourist (Dotsy Lamb, #1) by Maria Hudgins so 7&1/2 to go ! :)


message 207: by Jud (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Go Claire!

I have barely any free books


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments Great Claire. I'm similar to Jud


message 210: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I'm down to 568 now :o)


message 211: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments Thank you everyone, I think I have roughly 800, or at least did when I started this challenge!!


message 212: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Flip. You've read a lot of books!


message 213: by ✿Claire✿ (last edited Jan 25, 2014 09:16AM) (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I've not got in well with Flux by Mark R. Faulkner so far so I'm going to put it aside and read some of the others first while I decide whether to finish it or not, so I'm almost finished with Wolverine's Daughter by Doranna Durgin .


message 214: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Flux is one of my free books to read this year!


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments I have Flux too, but doubt it'll be on this year's list!


message 216: by Joo (new)

Joo (jooo) | 1351 comments I loved Flux. So did Ignite


message 217: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I put Flux aside as well, Claire. Was ages ago now, so I can't recall why.


message 218: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments It's not one of the books that isn't a good read (although there have been a few of those!), it's more that it's just not my cup of tea. I wasn't sure it would be when I read the blurb before I started it. I think I'll put it as one of my didn't finishes, I might go back to it sometime, but not this month!! I've nearly finished Wolverine's Daughter though so I'm getting through the list!


message 219: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I've just noticed that Flux is classed as a horror book, think that's probably why I didn't get on with it!!!


message 220: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments That's Wolverine's Daughter finished, it was quite a good read! On to the next one now :)


message 221: by ✿Claire✿ (last edited Jan 27, 2014 01:30AM) (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I gave up on light at the end fairly quickly, it's another horror (for someone who doesn't like horror, I've got a few on here!!) Starting ' The President's Nemesis by Michael Beres ' now


message 222: by ✿Claire✿ (last edited Jan 27, 2014 01:31AM) (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I've done a really good job of leaving the not so good books for last, The President's Nemesis by Michael Beres lived up to the negative reviews it had!


message 223: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments LOL!

Least it means you are whipping through them now ;)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Go go go!!!


message 226: by ✿Claire✿ (last edited Jan 28, 2014 08:31AM) (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments Well Wrongful Death The AIDS Trial by Stephen Davis was a load of c**p. It's seriously worrying that some people believe what the author's written, even without looking up the facts for themselves.


message 227: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments On to the next one, I've switched the next two round cos they're the same length but I fancied a bit of action rather than a romance!!


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments I enjoyed Wrongful Death, and Are You Positive, made me think a lot


message 229: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments Sorry Desley :) It was well written but I'm probably still looking at it from a scientist's point of view!!


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments No problem, we all have opinions. It shows the difference between a scientist and a layman


message 231: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa Wester You are a machine... Wow! :)


message 232: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I've finished the Istanbul puzzle and the half life of Hannah, on to the last one!! Yay! i might get this finished by the end of January :)


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments Fab progress Claire!!


message 234: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Yay!

Go you :o) I feel so inadequate having only read about 4 of my free books... The one I'm reading now is 438 pages and I'm not getting a lot of time to read it so think it will take me a good while.


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12595 comments You've read more than me, if that makes you feel better Jud! I've read 2 books and got 2 on the go, and one of the read ones wasn't a freebie.


message 236: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Only because you are too busy rescuing cats!

Ask me again in 6 and a half months and hopefully I'll have read more :o)


message 237: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine  | 575 comments You need to get all your reading in now jud,once the littl'un is here you won't have time for that,or anything else for that matter.


message 238: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I know, I'll soon be able to use it as an excuse to not do other stuff so I'll have plenty of time to read. (Gareth can do all the housework for a change)


message 239: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 2602 comments I've finished it!!!!!! Yay!!!!! :D


message 240: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments YAY!!!!!!
