Johanna | 766 comments I´m finally back on this challenge, which is great because it´s the challenge I most want to keep doing. I started reading Fifty Shades series yesterday so when I´m through with them I´ll have another three for the challenge!


message 156: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Woo hoo, Johanna! Keep up the good work guys!!!

I completed Divergent back on 5/20/12. I didn't realize it was on my Listopia lists! So I am 4/17 complete for the challenge.

Series-reading is an awesome idea, Johanna. I've decided to join you with that and am reading the Parasol Protectorate :).


message 160: by Johanna (new)

Johanna | 766 comments It really is! :) Though it´s time consuming as well. But I do have to say, it is easier to find good series to read than stand-alones.

mussolet (sovotchka) | 615 comments I've finished the Parasol Protectorate; all three of the books I haven't read previously coming from the "Favourite steampunk" list.
Gail Carriger - Blameless, Heartless, Timeless

Additionally, I've read Rose Tremain's The Colour, from "The Queen's Library - Best of the Commonwealth".
And I got another magical realism novel done; Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist

This gets me up to 10/49 :).

mussolet (sovotchka) | 615 comments I'm on 14. :)
I've read One Day and Bridge To Teribithia from the "ONE DAY Best Summer Reads" list, The Magic Thief from "Thieves" ;), and Season of the Rainbirds from "The Queen's Library".

I've also changed one of the lists I had read nothing from to "Favorite Travel Books". Will post my whole thing when I've read a bit more so that it looks better ;).


message 173: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Sounds good, Silver! I will get you updated.

Was Bloodrose good, Erika? I had a friend read it and said it was really good. Will get you updated. :)

Ashley, this was actually my least favorite of the three. I struggled to get through it. I felt is was slow for the most part and I did not like the twists at the end. I just did not see that ending coming... ~Erika
