I hope it is good Donna Jo, she was so funny on The Daily Show. I liked Assassination Vacation

[Donna Jo]

Dlmrose wrotwase: "I hope it is good Donna Jo..."

I've been enjoying her writing style, but the subject matter is a little depressing--the US takeover of the Hawaiian Islands in the 1800's. It is worth reading, as is The Wordy Shipmates about the Pilgrims. I also liked her book of essays The Partly Cloudy Patriot.

I am reading The Founding Foodies: How Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin Revolutionized American Cuisine (interesting topic, but rather dry writing) and Haiti Noir (for a book talk on short stories I will be doing).

[Rosemary]

Oh wow yes!! This is my first challenge and my favourite part was picking out the books to read for each task! Reading them has been fun too, but now approaching the end there is not so much choice. Definitely looking forward to fitting my TBRs onto the new tasks!

I've only been doing these challeges the last several months, and I've yet to finish one completely. I do however have a tremendous amount of fun "trying" to finish. LOL. And yes, it's always exciting to see the new tasks.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I haven't finished one and this is my 7th one.

[★Meghan★]

I just finished Undaunted (10.4) and currently reading The Red Pyramid for 30.1a and will be starting Uglies (30.1b) soon too.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I loved Uglies

[Bea]

I read Jayme's comment about not finishing a SRC yet and then Meghan's comment about finishing the book Undaunted and my thought was "That is me - not yet finishing a SRC but undaunted in my attempts!" Thanks to both of you for a smile today!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Oh i still participate because it at least knocks some books off my TBR list. Problem is, I put more on.

[Dee]

ditto...I love going through the task completion list and adding books that look interesting...I don't get how people don't keep a to-read list...lol!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Mine is three pages long and that isn't all of my books.

[Dee]

3 pages...haha!! my TBR is like 2000+ books between ones I own, and ones I want to read

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

That doesn't count the ones I have on my Nook.

[Dee]

ditto on the kindle...haha and I just bought like 5 new ones this week

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I bought like 7 books this past month.

[★Meghan★]

Haha you guys! You are making me laugh. My TBR list is getting extensive. Almost 400 books on my Nook to read and that doesn't even include my wishlist of ones to buy/get/borrow.

[Bea]

And I thought I had a lot of books on my home shelves to read! Wow!!!
