You can do it, Dee!

I am finishing two tomorrow and will start the last two December 1.

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments well, 2 are in process and I need to finish up The Two towers before I can tackle my last one...lol! but the end is in sight - only 4hrs to go

I've finished:
Paper Towns by John Green - finished 11/29
Ulysses by James Joyce - 11/30

The latter took me nearly six months, and I am so glad to be finished with it.

Just four more to go, and I've already been listening to one of them. I think I may actually complete this this year. Yay!

oh dear... I thought I was early with my plan to announce on Monday, 14th but didn't imagine being asked for it first! ha ha ha...

Just got to be patient for a few days, ladies! Both LOST16 & MM16 (I like this acronym, thanks, Dee!) will be open on Monday.

lol, yes... but do not worry, whatever you've planned for your other challenges, I'm confident you'll be able to fit into MM16 ;)

Personally, I'm going to use this weekend to clean out my lists and drop those books I no longer want to read. I want to work with better lists this year!!

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9034 comments Mod
Sounds like a good idea, LynnB, but I don't have time this weekend :p


message 215: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments i'm just going to try and stick to my purchased-xx list when picking my books, but i do need to clean my want to read list up...

speaking of, one more book to go - so i'll have my start point for next year - finished up The Return of the King on the way into work this am - almost perfect timing, i finished it less than 5min before i pulled into the parking area

I ended up with 62 books and I don't think I'll read anymore. See below the distribution per years added.

Would have wanted to read more books published in 2010 & 2011 but 11 overall is not too bad. :) I did the best with 2013 for some reason.

Books Read per Year Added
2010: 6
2011: 7
2012: 13
2013: 19
2014: 17

You can do it, Charity!!

I, for one, have given up on this year's list -lol, I managed about half of it which is pretty good for me, I think :p

Sherri (lil_bookette) | 110 comments Unless I get some good reading time after Christmas, I think I'll end up with one left on this list. Hush, Hush

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments mental health break from christmas?

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments whoo-hoo! finished! on a low note though, wasn't a fan of my last book


message 222: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 1370 comments Congrats, Dee!

I managed to read a few more books so I'll update my list again when I'm done for the year. :)

Ended up reading 68 books distributed as follows:

Books Read per Year Added
2010: 6

2012: 15

Next year my focus will be on books from 2011-2013 - quantity before age, LOL!
