Starting off with "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt, then I'm going to delve into one of the 5 or so others I started but didn't finish! :)
So looks like my first full read was the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Several hours of my life I'll never get back! Onwards to finish The Goldfinch.
Good luck with your challenge, Helene! It's a nice feeling to go into February on track with your goal.
Thanks Cassandra, Just finished the Story of Land and Sea and diving into The Round House..so far so good. Already have my reads picked out for March :)
Ok, have read The Round House as my second in February. Already read both for March, they were 84, Charing Cross Road and the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up. Now on to Icy Sparks as a bonus March read :)
Just finished Icy Sparks, on to The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street for #4 in March
Two read already in April: The Storied Life of AJ Virky and Orphan Train
What did you think of AJ Fikry? I read it last year and loved it. Orphan Train is on my TBR - was it good?
Sorry I missed this message Megan. Loved AJ Firky. Nice light read and a great one for "bookish" people. Really liked the orphan train. Clever plot!
Ok, so far for May I've read "Paris Letters" and did two audiobooks " unbroken" and " I know why the caged bird sings". Currently reading "night film". Creepy as hell but liking it so far. Cool addition of web page printouts, letters, photos. Hope to finish it by month end.

FYI, I listened to Eleanor and Park, Furiously Happy, and Leaving Time this year. Furiously Happy is a great "quick" read, and Leaving Time was one of my favorites of the year. Great narrators for all three. Enjoy :)
And last but not least...In The Unlikely Event.BAM. 24 books for 2015. Challenge Completed. :)
Hi Jessica. I've already listened and enjoyed ! Just catching up on recording them on Goodreads :)
Congratulations for finishing your challenge, Helene!
Thanks Cassandra, adding another, Nikolski
