Diane D.'s 2010 Reading Goals - Already Owned Books

[Diane]

To read more books that I already own, rather than always buying more. So the only books I will post on here are books that I read that I already own.

GOAL: 20 for the year. 5 per quarter.

[Diane]

Jan 1 - March 31 First Quarter

Wuthering Heights - completed 1/11/10
A Classic, and one that I own. Yay.

[DJ]

Good for you!!!
May I suggest that at the end of the year you read"Howards End is on the landing:A Year of reading from Home"by Susan Hill,I got it for my New Year`s Eve Gift from Husband and I am thinking on trying it next year............

Did you like it Diane? That's on my classics, and my 'own' list.

Kaliki, Yes, I loved it. I printed out a family tree which was very helpful (I googled Wuthering Heights and quite a few websites came up). All of the characters were intertwined/blood relations and the tree helped me understand all the connections. There is much more to the story than the love between Heathcliff and Cathy.

Good idea Diane....I've read 4 books for 2010 and owned them all!

Hey Shelli, that's great! I started a challenge on Chatting Chicks that you can't buy a new one until you read 5 that you already own. It's hard when those Borders coupons keep coming to my email!

[Shelli]

Hey....I'm not getting any coupons!!!!

[Diane]

They've been sending out a bunch of 33% off. I take it you are a rewards member? (off to work, so signing off for now)

[Afsana]

[Diane]

Oh, thanks! I have so many threads going, I forgot about this one! Running out now to a meeting but I will get to this. Thanks again!!!

[Afsana]
