I wish I could do that. I always get so into one book that the others just sit there, lol.
Hi, sorry I haven't been updating more consistently, but I've finished four so far!Series
TBR

Finished #4

I've finished my 5th book
Its a series I haven't read in over 6 months and I have now read at least one from each category.
Updated post #32
I finished #5 for a book that has been in my posession over 6 months

I thought I just finished a book for this and when I went to mark it complete I noticed I didn't add it to my TBR shelf til July! Darn! I'd wanted to read it longer but it wasn't on the list.Oh well I still have time!

CONGRATULATIONS Kdbrand! If you stay on the same track, you could have a Gold medal by the end of December :)

That was actually one of the first books I got on Kindle. - I was resistant to e-readers for sooo long but now I prefer it because I can adjust the font and do not need good lighting. I was in the mood for a zombie book and that and the sequel did the trick.
I finished my third book:
This is from my "One or more of the books that have been on your TBR (To Be Read) Goodreads bookshelf for 6 months or more" list.
I updated my original post #40.

Diane, I resisted e-readers for a long time as well. Now I love my Kindle app, especially with all the good deals on books that group members share!
I have taken much more advantage on the Kindle app and Amazon's buy with one click option, than I could read in a year. I always have my phone or lap top near so if I am at work with some spare time (hardly ever happens)I pick up reading. If the kids want to stop and play at the park I use my phone app. to read. I will never be with out because there are so many on it now. Before I sometimes had to wait with nothing to read days or a week until I got to the library or a bookstore.
Finished my fourth book:
. It's from a series that I started, but haven't continued for 6+ months. It was good,but I didn't really remember what happened in the previous two books, so I had to re-read those first. Anybody else having that problem?
Also this is a middle-grade, non-YA book. Wish it wasn't. Then I could read
next. Well, maybe I'll get 6 done and then I can read it later for this challenge. :)Updated Original Post#14
I'm having that problem Amber!! i'm about 55% in to
but it's been hard since I almost didn't read at all for almost a year. My own fault I know :\
I finished book #9!
which I've owned since January, and it is my second new release.
Done with #7
. It's been on my Kindle since Nov 2012.Updated post #10
I feel like I am failing at this challenge compared to how I usually am with the challenges. I blame all the new books that came out in October and November that I wanted to read. Hopefully with the holidays coming up I can meet my goal of 12 books!

Midway through November and you've already made it to bronze. Keep it up, Kdbrand! I'm living vicariously through your victories. :)

Oh I'll get at least bronze but I am going to try for better!
It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to do even a single book for this challenge :(
I read
(post #11) which I've owned for two years. I've seen this categorized as YA and as middle grade. If it needs to be my one non YA books that's fine.
Finally got around to #5
. This has been on my TBR list since 2011. Updated post #6.
Finished book 9:
(adult) from my physical shelf. I think I've had this thing since I was stationed in Cherry Point—it was time to read it, mostly so I could justify donating it to some hapless library (mwahahahaha). If you find this in a bookstore . . . run, don't walk, RUN away. Do not be fooled by the pretty horse on the cover.
Post #7 is updated.
Finished my third book for the challenge!
(11/23) Series not continued > six months My original post #9 is updated. :D

Finished #7 from my TBR book shelf
I hope to be Bronze by the end of Thanksgiving :)
Diane wrote: "How was Princess Academy? I am hoping to find something to draw my 5th grader in."I liked it. Definitely appropriate for a fifth grader. When I was around that age I also liked Tamora Pierce's books and still do. Her Emelan series would be perfect for a fifth grader.

(The Chicago Library system classifies it as Elementary, even).
That aside - CONGRATULATIONS, Ashley! You're now an official "finisher" in this challenge. You can take a break - or you can keep up the race and score a medal! :)
