Self Challenge -Jud's back log catch up

[Jud]

1 more book from 2010 to go, David Copperfield. Don't think I'm in the mood for a Charles Dickens next especially one as long as that but will be good to get it read and have no more books left from 4 years ago :o)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Fantastic, although don't envy you with a Dickens

[Jud]

6 more books down, most of them from 2011 and even one paid for book! (Black by Rose)

I have started David Copperfield as well since I had a bit of a short book spree, time to even it up with a longer one. Show week is over now and I'm only on stage for 2 minutes in Aida in the 2nd act so I have time to read again! Woohoo! David Copperfield is my last unread book from 2010 :o)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Fab!

[Jud]

I'm 5% in and my phone tells me I have 16 hours of David Copperfield left to go! Oh Lordy, I need to get reading.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

The diwnside of a timer! Good luck

[Jud]

I thought I was going to have to give up on David Copperfield, but just as the homelife was getting too much for me he was packed off to school and now I'm much happier to keep reading it.

His mum is a right wash out. I hope she grows a pair and sorts out that husband and sister-in-law. Or else David grows up and he does.

[Jud]

It only took me a month but david copperfield is finally finished!! I loved it and would recommend it unless you hate waffly dickens type books

[Jud]

only 12 books behind on my Goodreads challenge now.

Eeek!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I don't think I'll bother then Jud, haven't enjoyed a Charles Dickens book yet. Good luck on getting g in track with yours, I'm amazed to be 3 books ahead, reading 4 at once is clearly good for me

Maybe you could use your belly as a book rest....?

That'll make reading in the bath so much easier :o)

[Jud]

1 more down, have started reading DTB's as well which is holding me back from my kindle back log. I might include them as well though as they have been piling dust under my bed for ages.

[Jud]

I'm not getting through these books as quickly as I'd like but looking at the first page I'm doing better than I thought.

And as a bonus I just knocked 73p off my unread books total so now I have £34.19 worth of unread books.

I totally recommend Treespeaker by the way!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Fingers crossed you can catch up a bit before baby arrives!!

[Joo]

Obviously baby will need to be read to. You'll have to practice reading horror books in a baby soothing voice :)

[Jud]

Horror books? I'll give myself nightmares Joo!

[Jud]

I managed to catch up a little on my holiday and now I'm only 11 books behind instead of 16 :o)

Better keep reading.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Wow, that's a good catch up

[Jud]

Aye, I didn't do too badly, read a few super short ones though. I have updated the first post with all the books I want to read this year, hopefully I'll get through them all. I've been getting quite a bit of pelvic pain so have a bit more time to put my feet up and leave the housework for Gee if he wishes the place to be clean.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

God luck, at least there is an upside to pain!

[Joo]

Is that pain continuous Jud ;p
Does moving and cleaning make it worse?
I think you had better be safe than sorry and give up all movement except the thumb twitch and lift nothing heavier than a cup of tea and a biscuit.

[Jud]

I think you are right Joo, better to be safe. Now where is my kindle?

[Elle]

How you doing Jud?

[Jud]

I could be doing better :o)

I just wanted to focus on reading (or getting rid of) my old free books so even if I don't read anymore this year I'll be happy enough. Trying to work myself up to read A Tale of Two Cities

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Gooduck with that Jud.

[D.D. Chant]

I've read David Copperfield and The Tale of Two Cities. I enjoyed them but they are one of the few books where I had to read other books at the same time. They can get a bit heavy. ;-P

Hope the tummy pain is a bit better. xxx

[Jud]

I think I will enjoy them but it's the length of them that makes me delay starting them. Wont start this week as I'll not get a proper chance to get stuck in with mum and dad over

[Jud]

Just finished another book that I bought this year, I really should stick to my older ones. I'm reading Virtual Justice now which I bought in 2013 so at least that will count

[Katy]

I've just finished Virtual Justice, Jud. It's a good read (:

[Jud]

I'm enjoying it so far :o) Been reading it at my desk while no one else was in the office

[Joo]

I have a few of Mel's to read. I'm sure I've read 3 of them, but I can't remember #3.

[Jud]

Have you maybe read one of the short stories rather than the 3rd justice book?

[Joo]

Possibly.
I downloaded the sample to check and was reading it in the garden and decided to buy it, but my wifi refused to work :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I'm reading Virtual Justice at the moment, I've been reading the entire series, including the shorts. Would highly recommend the novels, wasn't keen on the shorts.
Naughty wi fi Joo!!

[Joo]

I bought book 8 as it is on a kindle countdown sale at the moment.

[Jud]

Oh! thanks for the info Joo
