Updated :) Everyone you're doing great! If you need to adjust your goals that's no problem. I tend to overestimate a lot during the exiting time I choose my challenges :D

Update to message 47: I've completed 8/20 with Portnoy's Complaint. This one wasn't for me.

I'm still making my way through two super long books: The Complete Sherlock Holmes and Kissinger: Vol 1: The Idealist, 1923-1968. Both are good but really keeping me from making faster progress on my challenge.

[Siren]

Its a bit late in the year but I'd rather like to join :) I'm in for 20!

1. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
2. Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
3. A Room of One's Own / Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf
4. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5. Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
6. ✔ The Gypsy by Steven Brust
7. Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King
8. The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King
9. Beloved by Toni Morrison
10. ✔ Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf


Because of time-restrictions I think I'll have to go from 20 to 10. Heh.. And even that will hold tight now that exams are coming up.

[Greg]

Blood and Honor for the seventh book of my challenge.

As with other challenges I've joined, I'm late with this commitment, because I just recently discovered all of these very cool challenges!

I'm in for a minimum of 6 and will generate my choices one-at-a-time. If a book from a series comes up, I will read the first in the series (or whichever would come next, given what I've read so far in the series). I won't include how-to, self-help or business books.

The first to come up in my randomized TBR list was (drumroll, please):

Florida Roadkill (Serge Storms, #1) - by Tim Dorsey
started August 1, finished August 5

Next to come up - The Long and Faraway Gone - by Lou Berney
started August 12, finished August 17

Next on the list (by far the toughest for me, it was a slog...)

Stand on Zanzibar - by John Brunner
started September 5, finished first week of October

Next randomized choice was A Fatal Grace - by Louise Penny
Started - October 21, finished October 28

Next randomly selected book was A Share in Death - by Deborah Crombie
Started - November 9, finished November 12

... and the final randomly selected book is Before the Fall by Noah Hawley. I had selected another book, but I ran the randomizer again tonight (forgetting that I had already run it for book 6), purchased the book and so now I'm committed to it. That Lois McMaster Bujold title will have to wait! And I'm looking forward to Before the Fall. :)

UPDATE - finished book #6, Before the Fall, By Noah Hawley, thus completing the challenge!

Started book # 6 of 6 on December 1, 2017, completed on December 9, 2017
