Excellent! Thanks! Then I'll get to work on my list! :)

[D.G.]

I'm definitely won't be able to read two of my oldest book before the end of March so I'm bowing out of this challenge.

I was done before I started!

[Barbara ★]

YAY halfway done. READ: 12/25

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL DG! Glad ya gave it shot. This was a hard one for me last year and I chickened out of joinin in this year. I found that those oldies on my TBR list have been there that long for a good reason. LOL! Too much 'forcing myself to read' rather than 'yeah, I should'a read this sooner' for me last year.

WTG, Barbara! *Go, Barbara, Go* :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Hooray, Barb!

I'm plugging away (LOL...lovin' it mostly, just cramped for reading time!) Have to update-post soon! Hope everyone's happily reading away!

I feel like a weight has been lifted off me getting through the two oldest with a week to spare!!!!

I've already got further this challenge than I did last year.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay Charlotte! LOL

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Hooray, Charlotte!


I'm almost through with my second "oldest" book...about 200 pages to go (660~70 something...it's a mental weight cause I'm not super "into" it....)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I've still got one of my oldest to go too :(

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Ahhh....I finished mine! HOORAY! (Number two of my two oldest, that is!) ~biggest hurdle over. (Update, soon, probably! LOL!)

Good luck, Sandra! Think we could even squeeze in an extension...like if you have read the first 1/3 or 1/4 by the end of March, and finish it by the end of April. Will that help some other folks out to hang in the challenge, and keep reading away?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Well, it could do :)

I put mine in a March challenge, so I HAVE to read it. LOL

[Midu]

hey Sandra, do we have a place where I can post bawdy and not so bawdy pictures?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Midu, I just created a spot in Off Topic Ramblings, go for it :DDDD

[Midu]

thank you! hehe

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

My fave of the ladies will always be Wonder Woman...Enjoy the rest, too!

And the eye candy! YUM!!!!!!!!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

This is one that actually surprised me (quite a bit when it was on the full view on her Timeline) Karen Marie Moning had it as her cover pic on Facebook for a bit...

Male fae....

So close Barbara :)

[Angie]

Will this challenge be running again in 2013?

If so, I'm not really clear on the rules. After we read the 2 oldest books that we've picked, do the other books need to be from a certain time frame? Or do we choose our own time threshold, like only books added in 2011 or something?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That's right Angie, only the first 2 books have any criteria. The rest is up to you and what you want to read.

I got halfway through, which is a lot further than I got last year (don't think I finished 2 books last time).

Might struggle to try again next year, as I'm running out of books that are old enough (for the 2 oldest).

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Charlotte, you'll always have 2 oldest books to read. Even if they are only last week. Oldest is always relative. LOL.

Congrats on getting a load of books off the TBR pile.

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

I think the rule was they had to have been added to your TBR within 6 months of joining. That's where I'm running into problems now. I've been on here 4 years and that part of my TBR is running out!!!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Nope, for this round and future rounds it was 2 oldest books on your TBR. See Judithe's post on front page :D

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Oh, ok. My bad

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No worries Charlotte, I'm just trying to help you out :DD

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

AND...I'm almost finished. BUT, don't think I'm going to get that last book.

I'll be doing this again for 2013...really like it as a way to move off some books that I just don't seem to get to (toooooo many good books to read them all. Sigh.) So, keep an eye out for it...and start thinking about lists!

Hooray Joann!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Hooray to finishers! I didn't quite make it (but posting update here in a few minutes!), but have made up a new list for 2013, and new thread!

[Nairabell]

I only managed 11 from my list. Definitely going to give it another shot this year!
