Ok, so I'm not going to completely fill out my list until closer to 2016 to
TRY
and avoid changing titles multiple times...plus I'm still trying to finish the 2015 list! lol
me too, one of my favorites. and an easy read :)
Ooh! I'm reading my first Ian Fleming right now (Casino Royale) - it's good to know that you liked him enough to read another. :) I'm actually really enjoying it so far - such an easy read, plus I'm a huge James Bond fan. I can't believe I've never read any of the books before.

I'm currently in the middle of the first one, which is why I haven't listed which Bond novel I'll be reading for next year.
I also really like James Bond and spy books, it's really weird I've never even considered reading a book by Ian Fleming. On the TBR it goes!
I just finished it! It was really fun - I found the character quite different to the movie Bond though. Already looking forward to the next book!
I'm determined to read the Lunar chronicles series next year as I currently feel like one of the only people out of my goodreads friends that hasn't read it and it does seem like a series I'll really enjoy. Glad to see that I'm not the only one!
I'm reading Cinder next year too Francesca!
Jody wrote: "I'm reading Cinder next year too Francesca!"Yay! I'm so pleased I'm not the only one that is so far behind on this series. Luckily, I've also managed to avoid any spoilers so I can go into it completely unaware of what to expect.
It looks like a few of us will be reading the series, or at least a book or two from it. I'm looking forward to a good discussion :)
Alrighty, now that we are actually IN 2016, I'm going through and filling in more of my books (which I will probably change lol)...buttttt luckily I'm totally awesome and didn't finish my 2015 RC list because of side reads, so I'm bringing a couple of those over to this list. PLUS I'm adding Fablehaven to week 1 simply because I thought I would finish it by the ball drop....and well I didn't because I got tired haha.
I brought over books that I didn't manage to read last year too. I still really wanted to read some of them! I've also included the book I'm currently reading although I started it at the end of last year. That definitely counts!
Glad I'm not the only one counting a book I started last year haha. I thought it may have counted as cheating!!!!!!! :P
Nah! Technically you did mean to read it in 2015 but didn't so it actually fits the first topic perfectly!
That's the way I've managed to justify it to myself too!
Ok, So I've gone through and updated my list to include the BOTM and the other 4 books that I've completed. my overall goal this year is to read 100 books and I've read 6 so far...so I'm a bit behind schedule on that. Luckily some of my book choices this year are the actual novellas in a few of my series though!! I should hopefully be able to catch back up in no time :) until I get around to game of thrones anyways. I will finish the first book this year though!!
