Hi Gabriela! Was this a book you've owned for more than 6 months? Or was it something on your To Be Read list for more than 6 months?

It may have been on your TBR list for awhile but it didn't take you long to get to it once you owned it. I'm glad you were finally able to get it and read it.


message 257: by Diane (new)

Diane | 1234 comments I know, thanks for posting that deal. It was nice to be able to finally read it and use it for this challenge. Now I will have to eventually get the next ones in the series ;)

Diane | 1234 comments I just finished #8 The Martian by Andy Weir i have had this one for more than six months. Yay I am now bronze and starting on silver. It is amazing before this challenge I had read only two books since May! I needed this jump start like crazy and the fact that I had already owned most of these books is a plus too.

Don't feel bad Rae! Sometimes life just happens and we can't do everything we has set our minds to.

I need to finish that series too. I am on # 4 can't remember the name. It is just such a dark gritty series that I needed a break and have not gone back yet. If you want to do a buddy read for it sometime let me know.

Bwaaahahaha! It's true, Casey, that GOT might not be the fastest book to read for a challenge of this type - but at least it's a really pleasurable book to read! (Well, pleasurable and painful, I guess - but in a way that means that the book is just really riveting).

Diane, the third book did bother me a little. I had a hard time with the first half, and almost gave up. You are so right about the dark and gritty part, but I really like the ending. Let me know whenever you want to do a buddy read. :)

Hi Anna! I'm going to count The Princess Bride as your adult book.

Also, isn't the book just the best?! I've loved the movie since I was a kid, and love the book just as much. One of the few instances of movie/books both being amazing. :)
