Hi First Group - First Post

[Kristi]

Hi my name is Kristi G. I am an avid reader and my standard line is that if I don't read 50 books a year there is something wrong so it is nice to have a group of people working toward that same goal.
So far this year I have read:

1. Difficult Second Book - Chirs Moyles
2. Harry Potter/Deathly Hollows
3. My life behaving badly - Leslie Ash
4. posh and becks - andrew morton
5. Gone with the Windors - Laura Graham
6. Gods Behaving Badly
7. Rules Britania toni hargis

I have enjoyed seeing what other people are reading and some of your posts have inspired me to look up some old favorites from childhood and my teen years to revisit this year.
Thanks and happy reading!
Kristi

ooo i want to read that how was Duma Key?

It was really good. I have read everything SK has written and had not 'loved' his last few. This read like vintage King.
