Do re-reads count for the challenge, just out of curiosity? There's a trilogy I've been wanting to go back and read again, it's one of my favorites and it's been years since I read it originally. I'll read it no matter what, just wondering if it counts.

How can we judge bad reviews, by the way? Should it have an average rating under a certain number?


message 19: by Kirsty, Jedi Master (new)

Hmm, perhaps under half? So 2/5 or 5/10 - whatever the rating is. Do you think that's fair?

Hey, here's a question: If the book "must be started and finished in 2015" how does the "finish a book you started" one work? You have to start in 2015, put it aside, and get back to it this year? Or is that the exception?

Edit: Aha! I found where you can add books that aren't currently on here. I'll just do that. :)

Abrea (elorendil) | 44 comments Jane Eyre is a lovely romance. Sense and Sensibility is another great Austen romance, if you need something, Wayland. Heck, I love all of her books and they are pretty much all romances.

I've read both of those. I'm trying to avoid rereads.

I found Sense and Sensibility to be pretty funny actually - those girls obsessed with prospects and fortunes ;)

Abrea (elorendil) | 44 comments Have you read The Professor by Charlotte Bronte? The Tennant of Wildfell Hall is another great one, too.

I think I have one picked out, but I'll certainly take suggestions. Thanks.
