Hey! Hey! Let's not throw the towel too fast on this one! We had extended to 12/31/2014 so I still have 1 full month before seeing if I'll make it or not. I'm reading #6 of 8 and I have good hope. Lol

[Sam]

Oh, I didn't know that. The post is well hidden in the middle of this thread.

Cool, I have only two books to go!

[Catherine]

Rachel..you extended to Dec in post 28:) so I still have time

Well shoot. :) Sorry! I WONT be closing this thread yet!

[Sam]

Done :) I even managed to find a second book (after failing with number one) for task 4: "Book you gave up on but promised to try again and finish this time".

I 've always hated to give up on books, but lately it happened several times and I was just relieved. Am I getting old? Yesterday I found myself standing in front of my shelf, looking through all my tbr and thinking: Do I really want to spent my precious lifetime on reading this?

I had never happened before. I have a feeling it will happen again.

I figured I could live with the thought of not having read Man of Fifty by Goethe, and also Pygmalion by Shaw as well as A Streetcar named Desire by Tennessee Williams.

...maybe I'm going crazy.

Congrats Iselin!

Crikey! I completely forgot I had signed up for this challenge! Talk about Oldtimers settling in, haha.

Thanks for posting new posts; Goodreads sent me an email to let me know about activity on this discussion (wonder why they didn't send me emails before?)

I've update Msg #14; I still have 2 books left to go. Now i have to figure out how to squeeze them in.

I missed this challenge in 2014- DOH! But I'll be ready for 2015. This is a great idea!

Hey, what happened to the Hoarders Challenge? It was said to be continued in 2015. I'd love to have a second go :)
