Congrats on finishing your first books in 2016! I really liked the Martian, and if you enjoyed it, I highly recommend the movie!

How are things going Monika?

[Monika]

Great! Have a huge "to read" list. Looking forward to summer beach reading! How about you?

[Cassandra]

Sounds nice! I'm looking forward to doing some of my reading on the beach this year.

Just finished my 50th book! Halfway to the goal of 100. I wasn't sure that it would be achievable, but I'm balancing longer books (Les Miserable, Pickwick Papers, Five Days at Memorial, The Raj Quartet) with relatively quick reads (The Gambler, The House of the Seven Gables, Ripper, Maigret mysteries and the Novella Series). Next read: The Orphan Train-book club selection.

I've recently discovered the "Serial Reader" app. It's somewhat limited, but has wonderful classics available. I'm also listening to books on "audible" while driving. Latest favorite narrator: Steven Crossley" In the Woods.

I noticed that Anne L had a great idea...to list the 10 books that you own and would like to read/complete next. (I'm going with my top 20 though.)
