Dawn's Dash "To infinity and beyond"

[Sarah]

I only "discovered" Atwood last year (and audiobooks for that matter)!

[Dawn]

I only read my first Atwood a couple years ago but I've known about her forever, she's pretty much a national treasure.

Audiobooks I picked up about 2 years ago and now I can't imagine commuting without them. :)

[Sarah]

Yes they do make a commute much less stressful! Oh and chores are more fun too!

[Dawn]

Oh for the love! I don't know why I even bothered pre-picking my chunksters. I've changed Mickey 4 or 5 times already and I think I'm gonna have to change it again...

[Tasha]

Hahaha!! ;)

[Dawn]

Go ahead and laugh! :)

[Janice, Moderator]

ROFL! We laugh in shared commiseration. :)

[Dawn]

As long as it's in commiseration...... :)

[Sarah]

I've changed mine so many ties too Dawn. The amount of times I've added books in then had to move things from Slicks to Mickeys and then change the others to follow suit - I'm thinking I might put them all in one post until I ACTUALLY read them and then put them in to the corresponding category - that way, I only have to edit one post instead of all 5 when I want to add another book!

[Dawn]

Yes, editing all the posts can be quite annoying. I put all mine in a word document to sort them out, it was too hard trying to figure out the changes in so many different posts!

Once I get to Buzz it will be easier, everything will be in one post.

That what i did. My mickey post is a building list until I get there. I had a feeling books would move around.

total commiseration! Just laughing bc we're all there or will be there at one time or another in this challenge. Plus the way you wrote it made me chuckle. :D

[Dawn]

Finally finished Mickey Mouse, now on to the Roadrunner!

[Esther]

Perfect timing. I want to read my book for this month challenge then I was considering a safehold. What do you think?

[Dawn]

I was just looking at my list and thinking it was time to pull out a Safehold book. I can start in a week or two depending on how fast I read my library books!

[Tasha]

Congrats Dawn!! You speed reading demon you. ;)

[Tasha]

I see you have Of Human Bondage up next. I'll be curious what you think of that one since I ended up putting it down.

Pretty much the same for me.

[Laura]

Congrats Dawn!

I may scrap my Mickey's completely. All the time it took to put that list together, too. Argh!

[Tasha]

Do you mean scrap as in change or scrap as in stop!!??

[Laura]

Change. Totally change!!

[Tasha]

I thought so but couldn't tell for sure. I was worried. ;)

She says, "finally". LOL! I'm still slogging my way through Slick's Slugs. It will be a while before I can say "finally."

Congrats on polishing off another section.

[Marnie]

Look at you go!! Congratulations on Mickey!

Unless I end up changing the list around completely......I don't think Mickey ended up with any of the original books on it. :)
I will get to it sometime this year though.

I'm a week late! My plan is to read 6 chunksters a month and now I'm behind!! :)

[Dawn]

Thanks Marnie!!

Wow, you are tough on yourself, lady!

[Dawn]

Just easily sidetracked by short books! And the week long toppler, I crammed in so many books in one week I had to take a small break. :)

[Dawn]

Ohh, I'm racing through Roadrunner.......3 down, 3 to go!! lol

[Dawn]

Finished another section!!

Lark Rise to Candleford was my favorite book of the six!

Now on to my next six chunksters, hopefully the Easter long weekend will help me finish it up this month. :)

[Laura]

Congrats!

[Marnie]

Congratulations!

[Dawn]

Thanks!

[Tasha]

Nice!! :D

[Dawn]

I think my favorite part is picking out the next six! I spent last night looking through what I had on the list and what I wanted on the list, did some revisions, put my orders in at two different libraries, pulled books off mine and my sisters shelves.....

Now I'm all set. :)

[Tasha]

It is fun. :)

[Dawn]

How are you doing with your challenge??

[Tasha]

I'm in Mick's. 2 down....

[Dawn]

So, so slow. But I'm finally done Taz and am moving on to Buzz!!
Maybe I won't take so long to finish this section...

[Tasha]

Dawn, no matter how slow you think your reading is, you are still fast to me! ;)

congrats!!

[Dawn]

lol

Thanks!

[Dawn]

Done my 30 books for this challenge!! Hurray!!

[Janice, Moderator]

Congratulations, Dawn! That's quite a feat, and there's 4 months left in the challenge. You'll feel bereft!

[Dawn]

It's true, I probably will. But I will just think of it as a breather before next years challenge! It's only 4 months away after all! :)

[Cherie]

I looked over the books you read, Dawn and I only know one of the authors. The only book on your whole list that I have on my TBR is your #1 book. I feel unread.

[Dawn]

You have Blood & Beauty: The Borgias on your TBR too (book 12). :)

I guess you can tell my taste in books huh?? Fantasy, Historical Fiction and Canadian Literature.

[Tasha]

Congrats, Dawn!!!

[Dawn]

Thanks!!!
