Christy | 86 comments I missed my goal this year by about 10 books but I still feel a great deal of accomplishment. I have never been an avid reader, more of a go outside and play kid. My husband is just the opposite so he has really encouraged me to read over the years and I have yanked, pulled and tugged him out of the house. I am thinking of a new challenge this year besides just reading "x" number of books. I see Babs you had a goal of A-Z, is that titles or authors? I'm looking for ideas??


message 1460: by Babs (new)

Babs | 258 comments It was by author and unfortunately many of the books I wanted to read seemed to have author with last names beginning with R or S. I did get through the bulk of the alphabet but not all of it.
I hope to finish my 25th book by the week end.

Congrats on your soon to be finished 25th book, well done! Authors, that would be a challenge and sounds like a good one. I can start looking now for authors and it will force me to go outside my comfort zone. Thanks for the idea.

Babs | 258 comments I tend to read "favorite" authors I thought the challenge to read authors A-Z would encourage me to explore the works of a variety of authors I might not have otherwise read. It was interesting and I did find a few new "favorites".

It's worth the effort. I think I'll go for it again this year but plan better...

Babs | 258 comments I'm impressed by the advances the Kindle has made...but the fire has more quipment than I would ever use. I wouldn't surf the net, or that kind of stuff...basically I use my kindle because it's easy to get books ...immediately!

Babs | 258 comments Started Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America Today. I've started the New Year attacking some social issues. Racial relations, poverty and the like. Maybe it will help me shape an outlook for who I might want to vote for this year> :-)

I had to put The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on the back burner since my brain was not ready for it. I am sure it is a great book I am just not in that kinda mode yet so I picked up The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake which is TOTALLY different!

Babs | 258 comments Just finished Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. Wow if I ever thought I disliked Wal-Mart before now I'm certain! Gives an excellent look into the cyclical patterns of those in low paying jobs. Onto two more books..one for my work with youngster Who Was Albert Einstein? and another by one of my favorite authors, After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away

Christy | 86 comments Finished my first book of this new year The Name of the Wind. The book was a little on the strange side, I liked the story I just get tired of reading words that are made up and I have to fill in the answer. My son recommended this book, maybe I'm just getting too old :-) don't tell him I said that.

I brought this book not too long ago and have yet to read it. I hear great things but many books drove me nuts with the "new words"

This has plenty of "new words". It's a good book and I won't tell you more so I don't spoil for you. It is pretty long 700 plus pages. I just started The Soulkeepers which is only 300 pages, piece of cake. I'm anxious to hear what you think of The Name of the Wind, when you read it that is.

Absolutely intriguing and page turning, just like a [author:James Patterson|3780] style novel. Can't wait to read Lee Weeks other books.

Babs, it never grabbed heart strings, but was a good book from a horse's point and love Michael Morpurgo books anyway.
