Level 3 of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2010

[Heather]

PNR or UF most likely. I seem to have been reading those almost exclusively for a year for some reason.

[Heather]

Although, maybe, if it gets here in time, I could read the brand new Ken Follett.

[Lisarenee]

I haven't read anything by Ken Follett. Looks like he has quite a few books.

[Heather]

Historical fiction, mostly spy related, but not all.

[Lisarenee]

I'll have to check out his books.

[Heather]

I'm not sure if this one will have spys. His new one is called . It's the first in a triliogy that will go through the 20th century from the perspectice of multiple families. So, you'll get to see the centry from the point of view of a German, American, English, Welsh, and I believe a Russian.

[Lisarenee]

Sounds interesting. Let me know if you like it. I looked it up and it's about WWI. Don't hear much about that war.

[Heather]

I got my book, but I have the urge to read one of the other books that came in instead. I can't get motivated. Maybe I'll just read whatever. I just haven't wanted to read these last 2 days.

[Heather]

I really liked it Lisarenee. It's the first time I've ever been interested in anything that historically takes place in the 20th century.

[Mary X]

I've read a few Ken Folletts and liked them all but Pillars of the Earth. I couldn't get into that one-which seems to be everyone's favorite by him.

300. Fall of Giants (The Century Trilogy, #1) - Ken Follett ★★★★★

Congratulations, Heather!!

[BJ Rose]

I completed Level 3 as well, and also had a great read for my 300th book - The Toll-Gate by Georgette Heyer.

You can see my list on page 1 in message #5

[Lisarenee]

Congrats BJ Rose and Heather. I guess I'll start making up a Level 5, wouldn't be surprised if one of you two make it to that level before the end of the year.

[Lisarenee]

BJ Rose and Heather,
Decided you needed a better congratulations so:



I like how the butterflies look like they're clapping.

[BJ Rose]

Thanks so much for the great congrats message, Lisarenee!
Love the butterflies!!!

[Sans]

Wow, you guys are amazing. C'mon Lisa, you can catch up!

[Lisarenee]

I'm working on it. We are going to be a little low on Q&As this month too many things going on outside of goodreads. I plan to read all the rest of Armstrong's books and I'm still waiting for Amazon to send me Venom. They still haven't shipped it along with 2 other books. :(

[Heather]

Thanks Lisarenee. Congrats BJ. I won't make 400. I'm working more hours and trying to deal with other stuff. I could probably do it, but my goal is 365 books in 365 days so we'll see. I might just get carried away.

[Lisa S]

I'll be joining you guys in about 43 more books. LOL

[BJ Rose]

Heather wrote: "Thanks Lisarenee. Congrats BJ. I won't make 400 ..."

Heather, I seriously doubt I will, either - that's 100 books in 92 days, and I've got several Big Books planned this month and next. But however far I get, I'm having fun. Thanks again, Lisarenee, for setting this up!

[Lisarenee]

You're welcome. :)

[Heather]

I screwed up my count by leaving out a book. This sucks.

[Sans]

Lisa S wrote: "I'll be joining you guys in about 43 more books. LOL"

That's awesome, good luck!

[Lisa S]

Thanks Sans!

[Mary X]

I don't know if I'll get to 300 this year. I'm sure I did it the last 2 yrs. But I'm a workign single mother now and my reading has slowed somewhat. I can no longer do a book a day.

[Valorie]
