Jennifer | 236 comments I have this thing about too many unfinished projects... And that includes books. So last year I randomly started finishing books or banishing them to a dnf shelf. It was working great. I have a few titles left. Some I started in 2014 and some mid 2016:

Winnie-the-Pooh

Leading Physicians Through Change: How To Achieve And Sustain Results

The Magic of Positive Parenting: How to Raise Great Kids

No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind

Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science

Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

Love in the Time of Cholera

The Town House

It looks like I've left most of the non-fiction when I see this list.

The library called once as I had a book on procrastination and it was overdue. This one was an audiobook and so it disappeared before I was done. It was good for the bit I heard on way to Regina.

Jennifer | 236 comments Finished Love in the Time of Cholera I had a hard time following the names as an audiobook. This left each story feeling disjointed. Most of the book I didn't get the love triangle aspect. Some parts seemed disturbing. At one point I wondered about starting it again on paper but I don't think I found enough there to make it worth my effort. I wanted to like this more than I did. Disappointing. Started Dec 2016 and finished jan 017

Jennifer | 236 comments Finished the The Magic of Positive Parenting: How to Raise Great Kids. This audiobook was free from my library. Started it one day over 2 years ago. Some great ideas but lots of crap to get through.

Jennifer | 236 comments I'm adding The Memory Keeper's Daughter to this list as it was on my shelf and like Love in the Time of Cholera, I wasn't sure if I had read it or not. So if I had, it could move out of the house. Turns out I hadn't read it so on pg 66.
