Third Time's A Charm!!

[Sue]

Ok so once again I have chosen Mount Kilimanjaro as my goal (for TBR challenge) and I will also be doing the Popsugar challenge (50 books) for an overall goal of 110 books for 2018. I need to be more productive with my reading in 2018 and I must definitely stay away (yes STAY AWAY) from any type of book sales, garage sales, flea markets etc etc. I don't need any more books!!!

Happy climbing (and you always need more books - sorry!)

[Sue]

I have altered a few of the requirements for the Popsugar challenge in order to use books that are part of my TBR pile. One of the requirements for that challenge is to read a book recommended by someone else doing that challenge. I have changed it to a book recommended by someone doing the Popsugar or TBR Challenges. So folks I am looking for a recommendation for a book I could read for this requirement. Please send me lots of recommendations as I may not currently have the book or may have already read it. I will pick one book from all the recommendations. Thanks!!

Okay I see you want to read The Time Traveler's Wife so that is one recommendation!

Oh and the Sue Grafton books :D

[Jennifer]

Good luck on your climb! You seem to be into mysteries, so I'm going to recommend to you the books of Megan Abbott. I love her books, most of which I would describe as high school noir.

Not too many people gave me recommendations but this is what I decided. I am already using The Time Traveler's Wife for another category on the Popsugar challenge but I do have a Sue Grafton book that I have never read so it's the winner!! Thanks for the recommendation!!

Thank you Leslie. I am currently behind by about 7 books. Hoping to get more reading done on my days off/vacation days so I can get caught back up.

[Sue]

So I have finally made it to the halfway mark of my goal for the year. With only a little over 3 months left I may not make it unless I start reading a gazillion pages per day or start reading books less than 200 pages lol.
