Oh! I did not know they made a show about it. I will have to hit that book first then and then check out the show. Thanks!

Soelo | 24 comments Lost 2021 - All 10 of 10 done as of May 29th!
1. ✓ The Jane Austen Book Club - Read 1/7
2. ✓ The Count of Monte Cristo - Read 3/20
3. ✓ Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - Read 5/13
4. ✓ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Read 5/1
5. ✓ The Good Liar Read 3/18
6. Interpreter of Maladies DNF
7. Back When We Were Grownups DNF
8. ✓ Abundance - Read 4/19

10. The Namesake Not Started - good movie, but I can't read another bleak book

I added the last one in January 2012. This is just using my regular TBR list, because I have separate ones for series, biography/memoir, and non fiction.

Replacements for the DNF books - I'll take these from any of my TBRs as long as they were added in 2012 or earlier.
1. The Constant Princess - Read 2/11 - added in 2012
2. The Grand Tour - Read 2/06 - added in 2012
3. The Fairy-Tale Detectives - Read 5/26 - added in 2012
4. The Problem Child - Read 5/29 - added in 2012

Hmm. Well, Tien and Kristina Simon, you may be able to catch up to me in coming years. All of my new LOST books are May 2011...and probably will be for a long while. Seems I must have added whole book lists at that time!

LOL. See!!

Every year I think Lost is going to get me out of 2010, the year I joined Goodreads. But, no. I'm only half-way through 2010!

Totally worth it, though. I've found some great books in my Lost lists through the years. ;-)


message 71: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments i'm finally cataloguing all the amazon books i've brought over the years - so i use that as the basis of my LOST - so i periodically find books i bought early on and never added

*GASPS* not read Anne of Green Gables?!
Have you watched any of the movies?

I am now thinking maybe we should have a series buddy reads for this or something... probably be not a good time to be thinking (late on Christmas day) lol

Thanks, Bea! Yes, this year I made some time to go through my oldest shelves (and boxes...) and build a pile with books I've been wanting to read, to keep handy. :)

Lol, I haven't watched any of the movies. I remember reading the first three books (and those about Emily) when little and loving them but that's all I remember. I'm sure they would be a great choice for a buddy read. Anne's books have been on my tbr for ages but I somehow keep postponing them...

Karin I have added the rest of my books, but I did modify in that for the last book listed I just said one book by an author because I added a number of his all on the same day nearly 4 years ago. But of course I might not be reading these 10 in the order listed since I don't think that's required.

Ines (innit13) | 59 comments ok, let's do this. From my TBR of books available to me. In number 4 (a bundle) I'm aiming for just the first book. Curiously, all except the first were aded in audio format (because of availability or purchase). This will be interesting indeed! I'm actually a terrible audiobook listener, as I get distracted easily, so I might support some of these with a written text if need be.

1. La Belle Sauvage (The Book of Dust, #1) - Philip Pullman
2. The Ruby in the Smoke (Sally Lockhart, #1) - Philip Pullman DNF
3. Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece - Stephen Fry
4. Dragon Blood - Omnibus (Dragon Blood #1-3) - Lindsay Buroker ✅
5. Doomsday Book (Oxford Time Travel, #1) - Connie Willis
6. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
7. Dracula - Bram Stoker
8. Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
9. The Cleverness of Ladies- Alexander McCall Smith ✅
10. Spirit Walker (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #2) - Michelle Paver
