message 112: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale 4 books finished in the past two days but still 2 behind... .


message 113: by Neil (new)

Neil But 2 behind is better than 4 behind hun :o)


message 114: by Amber (new)

message 121: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks. Three more added.


message 122: by Neil (new)

Neil Keep it up hun :o)


message 123: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Had to eliminate one book from my list because the only edition listed on GR is the Kindle version and I had the HARDCOVER version...i.e. A REAL BOOK not an electronic imitation.


message 124: by Neil (new)

Neil Keep a note of the details and you can fill them in and claim it hun :o)


message 125: by Amber (last edited Nov 05, 2014 09:03AM) (new)

Amber Martingale No I can't. *sheepish look* When I realized that the only edition here on GR was the Kindle one, I lost interest in the book and returned it to the library.

Which book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 126: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale WTF? GR says I'm 7 books BEHIND schedule? Again I say "WTF?!"


message 127: by Neil (new)

Neil 66 books to reach your target hun, which is more than one a day. Going on how you managed last year's target I am still confident in you :o)


message 128: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks. Now they're saying I'm 8 behind... . Wonder how far behind I'm gonna be on Wednesday when I get back online from the fact that the library's gonna be closed tomorrow for Veteran's Day.


message 129: by Neil (new)

Neil Sometimes I do wonder about how accurate their figures are, but prove them wrong by reaching your target :o)


message 130: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I intend to get as close to it as I can in the time I have left in the year. :)


message 131: by Neil (new)

Neil Attagirl :o)


message 132: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale :P


message 133: by Amber (last edited Jan 25, 2024 11:10AM) (new)

Amber Martingale 11 behind? WTFingHELLFIREANDDAMNATION?!


message 134: by Neil (new)

Neil All you can do is do your best hun, and that is pretty good from what I can see. So don't get downhearted about it you have already read three times as many books as me this year :o)


message 135: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Good point, though the fact I've read 3xs as many books as you have probably just means you can afford other means of entertainment in ADDITION to books and the radio. :)

That said, I DECREASED my goal yesterday...after I got back from my diabetes education group class.


message 136: by Neil (new)

Neil Or that I am a slower reader :o)


message 137: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I thought of that but I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.


message 138: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale YAY! 1 AHEAD...FINALLY!


message 139: by Neil (new)

Neil Don't stop :o)


message 140: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Don't intend to.


message 141: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale YAY! 1 AHEAD!


message 142: by Neil (new)

Neil Never say never hun :o)


message 143: by Amber (last edited Nov 19, 2014 10:27AM) (new)

message 145: by Amber (last edited Jan 25, 2024 11:15AM) (new)

Amber Martingale You're welcome. Of those three, so far I've only made progress with SMALL FAVOR and FURIES OF CALDERON.


message 146: by Neil (new)

Neil Is Small Favor one of the Dresden Files?


message 147: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Yes.


message 148: by Neil (new)

Neil I read that last week :o)


message 149: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I just started reading FURIES OF CALDERON yesterday and I'm not sure if I like it. So far it's kinda slow.

I will be interested to hear your views on it as I have held off reading it, mainly because I'm not sure if its my kind of thing or not
