Anne's Reading List for 2015

[Anne]

Here's my current proposed list for the 2015 challenge! I'm new as of today so I've got a little bit of catch-up to do. I'm reading the first book a bit out of order since I started the #16 topic last week before I found this group, but otherwise, I plan to try to read in order starting with the 500-pager next!

I'll have a few bits and bobs to fill in as I go. Never a problem as I always have more books I want to read than I get to in any given year. :)

Wow!!! Fantastic plan!!!

Welcome to the group Anne. If you need anything, message me or any of the other mods. It seems like you figured it out, though. :P

[Anne]

Thanks so much for the nice welcome! Just happy to be here. :)

I'm not a moderator so you might check with them but I believe that we are still in week 2 (the week's topic will switch to #3 on Thursday.) So if you take a look at the week's/topics list, week 2 theme is romance.

I just joined today so I'm a bit behind. The basic premise is that you'll read one book each week that matches the topic theme for that week.

Hope that helps!

That's correct for week two - the topic is romance. (Week three, which starts on the 15th, I believe, would be a book made into a movie). And yes, you can pick one you'd like to read, browse other folks' lists to be inspired by a title, or pick one suggested by the mods - totally your choice!
