Juliet, you're not too late to join and this is not restricted to just romance :)
Great!My target: 15 books
Books read in 2012 so far:
1. Before I Go To Sleep
2. The Girl in the Mirror: Two Stories
3. Thanks For The Memories
4. Christmas Jars
5. Christmas Jars Reunion
6. The Seventeen Second Miracle
I should had more but I only discover how great Goodread was in June so I can't update all that I had read...
Oooh Juliet, I've heard wonderful things about
. What did you think of it?
CaroB,I actually think the book is great. The plot is intriguing and definitely a page turner. Once you picked it up, whether you love or hate the book, you just want to know what happens next. There is a twist at the end but it's a good ending. I wouldn't actually called it a thriller or scary book. It's more of a suspense story to me.

@Juliet - I have to laugh. You just gave me a stroke, because I skimmed your post and this is what registered: "My target: 15 books. Books to read before I go to sleep." Then I did a double-take. ;)
lol, that would be a super speed reader!
@Kyra: LOL! Let me tell you another joke about a conversation between me and my friend on this title.I was telling my friend that I am reading this book Before I Go to Sleep and it's good and she should picked it up. Then she said that it sounds great and then she asked "So what is the title of the book?"
I practically fell off my chair when I saw her reply. She thought that was a book I read before I go to sleep every night. LOL!
LMBO! Geez, isn't communication grand?
@Juliet - LOL I bet that title trips a lot of people up.
@Lisa & Kyra: indeed it does. Communication is very important for books with tricky titles :)

I just checked and your shelf is adding the books to the group total. So you don't need to update here.
LOL! Elf you beat me to the punch!
**tips hat** ‘Morning, Miss Gisela!
Thx Gisela! Alright! Now I just have to keep reading!
Are you ready for the Sunday Update? Has everyone updated their books?
I am soooo behind! and I guess since you aren't doing this update anymore...that means you are as well!! lol :)
Totally behind, Catherine. But Gisela or Sunny Daze will kept this all updated. Rest assured.
lol I already had to reduce my year total from 150 to 120! I was too far behind....too many chunky books! on that note...I have read 20/41 chunky books...so that's a good thing! right? lol
I'm 23 books behind due to this remodel. I may lower my goal from 300 down to 275. Drat! I really want to make 300 this year.
lol....well..I am impressed with myself! I read way more than I expected already! I was 10 or so behind when I was at 150...now I am 4 behind...but I think I may be able to squeak by...and possibly up it again! I wanted to get to 200...but I didn't want to up my total until I was sure it could be done...I just don't have enough hours in the day! hey...well...remodelling comes first! I mean you do need somewhere to put said books! lol
True! I've got three huge bookshelves I'm painting (only two of which are painted...b/c I got side-tracked) that I'm just going to dedicate to Romance! Of course, I have other bookshelves...but those are for all the rest.
lol..I need more bookshelves..nowhere to put all my books...that I keep getting!
really need more shelves! got more books last week....and again this week! I NEED HELP!!!!!!! lol
