Neko I'm currently sitting on 34/50 with 3 different books on the go. I'm posting this thread to hope excite me into wanting to complete the 50 before we get to the new year. I'm not so fussy in what I read as in ANYTHING I read will be counted..Novels, graphic novels, children's books (less likely)..

I CAN DO THIS (or not?)!!!

Deb | 219 comments Good luck. You can do it. Why not try some YA books.


PattyMacDotComma | 3321 comments Yes you can! I've just downloaded Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea which won the Pulitzer Prize. It's only 132 pages, so won't take long. And it's free.

I've read it more than once and will read it again. Hemingway is a man who doesn't waste words but somehow conveys a lot with only simple ones. I've always loved this one. Spencer Tracy played the old man and was nominated for an Oscar.

You can do it! Heaps more time left. :)

Neko @Deb -Thank you :) Yes YA are actually sitting on my Kindle but two total over 2k pages...LOL...Still it's like 8 books or something..SO..Maybe I should crack em open!!

@Patty - Thankkkk you! I will go peep that book :) There is loads of time I agree...It just depends on how I use my time...I sometimes get lazy which is usually my problem in the end...lol
But I should say shorter novels are a winner for now so I can reach my mark! xD Playing dirty!!

Neko @Sally - Ty :)

Admittedly, I've been reading quite a few children storybooks and I still like keeping track of them here..SO, it has allowed me to push my books to 51/50!

If I didn't date them I know it wouldn't count towards my goal but I find it important too.

48/Dinosaur Roar!
49/Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp
50/Dinosaurs Galore!
51/Magic Beach

Still going to keep on reading all my novels and such though..If I can notch them on the goal I will do so.


Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Woohoo, well done Laura...and still going strong! :)
