Welcome to our group Trea, that's a nice list! Have you already planned what you're going to read for the reminding weeks or are you choosing as you go along?

Have you already planned what you're going to read for the reminding weeks or are you choosing as you go along?"I'm still working on filling the list out...I know I have more read than what I've currently got filled in. I just ran out of time last night filling things in, as I had to help get my son in bed. He's autistic with ADD as well, and it helps him if he sees that Mommy and Daddy are on the same schedule he is, especially since he knows Daddy goes to work early and has to go to bed with him.
I've already planned a couple of books out that I haven't gotten to yet, so I'll probably plan the entire list out and just read one a week. I'm hoping that I can get on track with the group at some point before the end of the year, but I may end up derailed some weeks.
No problem with doing the challenge at your own rhythm, we follow a weekly schedule for the group to keep track of the time but most of us read randomly :)

I just read the first of the In Death series and really liked it. I am planning on reading more. I see you have several of them on your plan, so I guess you are a fan.

I'm thinking of reading another one for the challenge if I can fit it in a category.I also read Hearts in Darkness and I liked it very much. How did you like it? You don't show your rating of the books.

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize that I should add my ratings too! I'll add those in tomorrow, as I'm heading out for dinner in a few minutes. I rated Hearts in Darkness with a 4 star rating, knocking a star off for the abrupt ending.
You don't have to add the ratings, it's just nice to know what the others thought about a book.
Yeah, it was abrupt wasn't it? I turned the page to read on, and there wasn't anything to read...
