Interesting story line. Was it worth it? The only thing I found was Legend.

I've read the book several times now, and I've enjoyed it each time. I really liked figuring out which famous person she meets on the island. It's not always clear.

My second choice for this task was The Legend of Luke by Brian Jacques.

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments I always find it interesting to read a book more than once when it leads to more discoveries than the first or second time. I have no problem with doing it over and over until I feel satisfied.

I have the first series book already on my TBR list for the Luke story. No sense on reading out of order if I have other choices. Need to see what my library has available. Thanks!

I agree! I have had multiple books from several series that I have been able to slide into tasks, even over other already planned books.

I think it would be interesting to see just how many books that were initially slotted for a task were actually read for that task :)

I have been keep track on my spread sheet for the books that were bumped off - for the ones I own at least, but was not consistent for others that I simply had titles penned in. Many were not even on my TBR list. I still have many tasks that are not done because I am determined to read the books I have planned, but not gotten to yet. Some are more important to me than others. I have been in a slump the last two weeks. I have books to read, but cannot convince myself to do it right now.

Whenever I get in a reading slump, I go back to my favorite books. After reading a few of them, I generally pull out of it.
