Hi DoodlePanda. :)
How do you create the arrows that you are using in your posts?
HomeInMyShoes wrote: "^I really liked Deathless."Thanks. I've added it as a possible option. Depends on the price :)
@Nyssa - I looked up the code online, but cant figure out how to type it here as it just turns into an arrow... But you can copy paste mine, that works too...I used this webpage.
Click on "try it" next to the arrow you like, and somewhere there will be a code - it will be 7(?) symbols and numbers, i think they start with & and end with ;
Basically a bit of trial and error before I figured that one out :P

Yea its one of my favourite S. King. Not sure why :)It was one of the first of his I read, and the very first I read in English, maybe that's why it's special.
Been ages since I read it, can't remember noticing the references to the Dark Tower before!

Fantastic! Is it only the pages read challenge left?
Orlok wrote: "Fantastic! Is it only the pages read challenge left?"Pretty much! Im missing a buddy read and some manga, but no too bothered really :)
And Ive kinda given up on the SFE... Lol
Not 100% sure what the buddy read is, but I'm happy to help if that's what it's about :)
Buddy read is just reading a book with one or more people and discussing it as we go :) Just like a group read really, just smaller amount of people.I've just felt like reading whatever I want, when I want, so it hasn't been a priority.
I'm not really bothered about it, I mainly had it as a challenge to try different things :)
But thanks for offering to help :D
Thought it must be something like that. I still haven't identified the "A book recommended by someone you just met" read. Getting desperate now - may have to go to our local library and just randomly ask one of the customers, or maybe a librarian.
I hate all yall, lol.I have only finished one. boooooo!

Lol! We love you too :P ;)
As long as you're still enjoying the reading, who cares! :D
:-D
Time to wrap this up I guess!My goal for this year was 50, and I read 65 books :D
Summary of my challenges:
Bought but not forgotten (purchased before 2016) 10/10 FINISHED
Audiobooks listened 11/5 FINISHED
Buddy reads 5/5 FINISHED
Manga read 12/20 -> I was really into manga at the start of the year and then kinda went off it...
Got a little over half way on the Something for Everyone challenge, which I'm ok with... I don't think it was really for me as it had too many posts with stuff I would't normally read. And I hit a reading slump (again), which led me to read only things I knew I would like.
Total number of pages read is 17,938
Congratulations, Panda!! May your 2017 be filled with lots of Great reads!

Crime and Punishment is shaping up to be a very long read. Even at 650 pages, it is reading very long. Only 80 pages in so far. I knew it would be a struggle, but I've been meaning to read more authors from Russia.
