Even though I do enjoy reading them; I can't put them too close together.

[Tracy]

49. A book from someone else's bookshelf--Burial Rites --(I took it from the bookshelf at work!)--READ 4/16/2017
Excellent book.

[Tracy]

8 books left to read. I hope I make it!

[Kelly]

Looked at your last 8 books i only read one "game of thrones" it was really long and confusion cause it has a thousand characters BUT if you are reading it after watching the show and know the characters it might go faster. GOOD LUCK hope you finish! But there is always next year if you don't! ;)

[Tracy]

I know Kelly, I've decided that I'm going to read NeverWhere instead, since I already own the book and it's much shorter. It seems like when you don't do the challenge in order, you tend to read the books you are looking the most forward to first, so now I am left with books I'm not that interested in :( I'll have to remember that for next year, as I think this challenge is making me read LESS, not more!

[Zaz]

I don't remember who, but one of the members started by the books she was the less interested in, as at the beginning of the year the motivation is stronger. I read more or less in order, but the last quarter is always a bit tedious because I crave only free reads :)

[Tracy]

Books remaining:
Middlesex
Neverwhere
The Secret Daughter of the Tsar
The Year of the Flood

[Tracy]

You can do it!!!!!
I'm right behind you, I have 5 left :)

[Kelly]

Good luck!! I read middlesex a while ago it was pretty good but wasn't a fast read for me.

[Tracy]

Thanks for the encouragement :) It's about one a week so it's doable right? No pressure! Life is so hectic at this time of year though. Tracy...you ARE going to do it! I just know you will finish! :)
We both will!

[Tracy]

Absolutely!! 😊

[Tracy]

I am soooo done! On to 2018!

[Jody]

Congratulations! 🎉

[Zaz]

Congrats :)

[Katie]

Middlesex was really really good! A 5 Star for me, but no, not a fast read, but it definitely kept me interested and wanting to go back! I read into the late late night when I should not have done so ... all for this book right here:
