Topazriver's 2014 Reading Challenge

[Polly]

It's August and I've not long joined this, my first challenge. Although I've only set 10 books to read for the rest of 2014, it's because I don't read that many books usually and thought it would be realistic. Now I've set myself the challenge I'm reading more and choosing books, which I think, are rather good! I might have to change the challenge set to a higher number to push myself a bit further. I've got a good mix of biography, classic, historical fiction, contemporary, supernatural, and thriller. Really looking forward to reading them all. 3 read so far and if the others are as good then I'm in for a treat. Super!

Good luck Topazriver, it's good to have a variety of books to pick from!

Good luck Topazriver! I find that when I have a good variety of books, I read more...it becomes addictive.

Sounds like you're off to a great start with your challenge, Topazriver! Good luck!

[Camille]

Good luck with your challenge, Topazriver. You might find that you just read way too many books for the challenge and end up with a high number :) I had set my number at 36 and I'm currently at 49, which is awesome!

Thanks you guys. I've just finished my 6th book and upped my aim to 15. A few months ago I would have said, 'no way!'. In bliss enjoying reading again. Thanks for the support xx

I like your November list. I'm planning to read the Martian and Mr Penumbra's before the end of the year

happy reading :-)

Thanks so much Kiwi! Virtual hug :)

Just finished The Martian. Lots more to look forward to. All library books a part from Lord of the Flies (on my kindle). Really looking forward to Mr Penumbra's as it looks like a really fun read. I'm up for a bit of fun reading after The Martian as it was a little bit serious being stuck on Mars giggle.

See you about.
