Little behind on posting but this has been a busy week :(. Okay, finished one book and forgot to post another book I read (not a surprise). Finished The Truth About Delilah Blue, which was 409. Also read Life After Yes, which was 340 pages. So, adding these two books to my previous total of 9,876 brings me too.....(drum roll please)...10,625. I made it to the goal!!!! I really am so excited! I am going to shoot for 15,000 for the year now!!!!
Seemed like it took forever (because it was a busy month not because the book wasn't good....the book was awesome!)but I finally finished Cathy Holton's Beach Trip. If you want a great beach read to finish your summer, pick it up! The book was 406 pages so my total is up to 11,031. Next up...the Life You've Imagined by Kristina Riggle!
Finished the life you've imagined...great read! At 334 pages this brings my total to 11,364.
Done with The Castaways. It was 359 so the total is now to 11,723. Next up...Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner.
Done with Fly Away Home. If you love a good chic lit read pick it up! That book was 401, so I am now at 12,124!
I love Jennifer Weiner! How did you like it?
I LOVED it! I actually laughed outloud at work and one of my coworkers thought I was crazy. Also teared up a little bit. You will love it if you have loved her other books!
I just read Best Friends Forever this summer and loved it. My sister just let me borrow Goodnight Nobody. So looking forward to her other reads. :)
My all time favorite is Little Earthquakes, then Good in Bed but they are all awesome! You won't be disapointed with her books, she is just so witty!
I done with After You by Julie Buxbaum, although I wish it wasn't over. LOVED IT! It was 336 pages, so I am up to 12,460.
Finished Lady in Waiting by Susan Meissner. Another good one! It is 332 pages, so I am up to 12,792.
It's been a while coming, but I just finished The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. One of the best books I read this year! It is 549 pages, so I am now up to 13,341 pages. Next up...The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory!
I am so slow lately! I just finished The Red Queen at 377 pages. This brings the current total to 13,718 pages! I am still hopeful to reach my new goal of 15,000 pages by the end of the year but I don't think I will make it to my private goal of 50 books (I got a little behind over the last month or so). We will see!
Finished George Eliot in Love....really good! It was 224 so my total is now 13,942!
Done with The Queen's Governess by Karen Harper...loved it! If you haven't read anything by this author and like historical fiction based on the Tudors you must read this! It was 359 pages so my total is now up to 14,301. So close to 15,000!
Just finished The Princess of Nowhere...a novel about Napolean's sister, Pauline Borghese. Very good! It was 308 pages. My yearly total of finished novels comes to 14,609 pages. Not quite 15,000 (and I have read some of another novel I haven't quite finished yet, but I don't want to count that) but I am still happy with the total! Can't wait until next year's challenge!
