How's it going so far?

Did everyone remember to start their 50 books challenge? :) How's everyone doing? I have to admit that I haven't actually read a book yet, but am gonna go book shopping tomorrow at the 2nd hand book store down the road!

[Zoe, UK Book Club Founder]

Oh, and if people want to make their own topic to write their list of books in that's cool!

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

I have read 4 so far since Jan 1st!

[Sam]

I'll be honest, I'd totally forgotten about this but on the up side I have finished one book already :-) it was one I'd started before Jan 1st though so does that count?

[Kathryn]

I've started 2 but haven't finished them yet. I probably would've finished one last night, but I fell asleep lol

[Zoe, UK Book Club Founder]

Yeah, I came into the year with a book already started so I haven't included it. Really need to start making progress on my list!!

[Sam]

Right wont be included ones already started then :-) in that case I've started my first one, reading War and Peace so could be a while lol

[Zoe, UK Book Club Founder]

I started reading War and Peace but gave up after about 2 chapters as I got bored! You'll have to let us know what it's like

[Sam]

I only started last night but it doesn't seem to be has hard to read as I thought it was going to be but I'll keep you posted :-)

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

I have read War and Peace twice - Does that make me a very sad lady? Lol!

[Sam]

You obviously enjoyed it then Lynne, there's hope for me getting through it yet :-) lol

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

Yes its not too bad if you can get by all the boring bits in between the storyline!

[Zoe, UK Book Club Founder]

I couldn't get used to all the Russian names, kept forgetting who everyone was!

[Sam]

Hopefully I'll get through it then lol. My edition came with its own bookmark that lists the main people by family and a quick blurb on who they are, which I think is going to come in particularly handy ;-)

[Zoe, UK Book Club Founder]

Ooh that does sound helpful, I was tempted to write up a family tree!

[Sam]

Thankfully I wont need to (hopefully lol)!
