Thanks guys. I just seemed to have a burst of reading. Can't say that number will be achieved every year though. Just a bit of fun really.

55 books done! Think I may lower the number next year!! :D"

Good Job!! Would you like to help me finish mine?? Although I think I'm going to get a lot more reading done in the next coming weeks since my boss is out of the country and I will be in the office alone.

[Groovy]

Congratulations, Janet...

[Kerry]

Have torn several ligaments in my foot and ankle so I'm on bedrest for a weak or two. Yawwwwwwn.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Well done Janet & Rebecca!
Kerry take care - I know just how painful that is and if you don't rest up it takes forever to heal.

Thank you, Sandy! Honestly it's more painful than when I broke my other foot which I was surprised about. But what a great excuse to stay in bed all day and do nothing but read, huh? ;)

Ooh, it sounds painful Kerry. It looks like you'll be getting through even more books. :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Kerry, at least more reading !

Look after yourself.

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, little chicken, take good care. :)

Not a great way to do it, Kerry, but more time to read is good! Hope you heal fast!

[Sue]

Hope you feel better Kerry.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Get better soon Kerry, being off your feet is not fun!

[Amber]

Don't reinjure the feet on your way to the bathroom. A bedside commode is a good idea.

[Aymen]

Kerry get well soon, take care.

[Aymen]

Today in Al Fatah Mosque in Tunis the preacher called ISIS the Devil State, and we all prayed for its destruction, Ameen.

[Diane Lynch]

Yeah Janet. 55 books is A Lot of books! I took the easy way out and didn't commit myself to s number.

[Diane Lynch]

Kerry speedy recovery! Make the best of your down time.

[David]

I wish you a speedy recovery, Kerry, but what on earth have you been up to that results in breaking both feet on different occasions. My best guess: an overzealous stage version of Stephen King's Misery

[Groovy]

Kerry, you get to read, read, read, and be pampered--take advantage:)

Take care and eat lots of chocolate. They won't help healing but why not? :D

[Titas]

103 Done and counting ;)
Finished my Goodreads reading challenge of 101 books a few days ago and somehow still rolling in some more!

PS. I know I'll later regret for wasting so much time away from my study

[Sue]

Congratulations Titas!!

[Jean]

Way to go, Titas! Now your mind is primed for studying.

[Jean]

Kerry, chocolate does have magical powers...i don't know if your ortho doc would prescribe it, but it will help those brain chemicals that boost your mood, which is bound to aid healing...

This is why I always initially set my goal at 5 books higher than my previous year's total books read.

[Sean, Moderator]

Well done Titas !

[sonya]

[Sean, Moderator]

[Sean, Moderator]

Fantastic news for the group

Clare Mackintosh has agreed to do a Q & A for the group, either in December or January.

A great success story, as Clare is very much in demand after the success of her debut author that has done enormously well worldwide.

Many have "liked" my recent review on this outstanding book.

Next month our December author is a former Policewoman and Detective in Robin Burcell.

Well Clare Mackintosh was a policewoman and CID Detective.

[Aymen]

get well soon Sonya and Sean, and I m glad your wife went back to work my friend.

[Amber]

That IS good news, Sean. Esp. about your wife. I bet she's glad to get out of the house!

[Diane Lynch]

Sean is their a specific book for the December author?

[Diane Lynch]

Sonya wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Diane Lynch]

Sean I'm glad your wife is back to work and hope you recover quickly.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Diane

Our Readalong author for December is

The Last Good Place by Robin Burcell. A great book.

Our book of the month depends on dates for Clare Mackintosh, if she agrees for December I will recommend her book, as the same for January.

Our Readalong for January is Susan May book Deadly messages, which I am sure will be on a special near the end of the month.

Our November readalong Slur, is again on a special offer, and many have finished this book.

Clare Mackintosh book is the outstanding "I Let Her Go"

[Groovy]

Sean, I am so glad your wife is better. Maybe the doctors need to give you stronger medicine. This pneumonia you have is really tough.

Sonya--sorry to hear about your shoulder.

[Patricia]

@Kerry - ouch with your foot and best wishes to heal quickly.

@Titas - congratulations for reaching your reading goal!

@Sean - best wishes to you and your wife. It's been a rough recovery for the two of you.

@Sonya - hope your shoulder recovers quickly.

How on Earth did you know, David? ;) First time I fell off a ladder. This time my knee gave way from an old knee injury and I fell on it at a messed up angle. Life goes on haha.

Thank you so so much everyone for the well wishes, and Sonya and Sean I'm sending you healing thoughts and prayers <3

I've been saving The Last Good Place for the readalong so I'm really excited to get to it finally :D
