by Ben Mezrich(Seeing as that's 11 books and I've only read 42 this whole year, it's not likely that I'll get very far on this list!)
I didn't add so many books to my list this month, which may be because I'm WAY behind on Reader and there are still a ton of November posts waiting for me. But here's what I did add, and who is to blame.

by Robin Carr- Jaime at Confessions of a BibliophileWhat have you added to your list recently? What are your goals for the rest of the year? Do you expect to finish everything you had hoped? Are you planning to take a week off life to read it all?

I've never done this book reading goal thing. This month I started goals for cleaning my house, though. ;) You read waaaaaay more than me. My favorite time to read was always on my commute (I didn't drive!), and now that I'm a stay at home mom, I lost my commute.
ReplyDeleteWhen the new year started I made all of these goals. I have met some of them but not my reading goals. I wanted to read 50 books but I have probably read 5 or 6. I didn't keep track. I do have a good excuse;) I am going to make some goals again for next year and complete them:)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I don't do re-caps? I keep track of the books I've read for the year via the 100+ challenge but the list is there and that's all I plan to do and that's the only challenge I am doing next year. Boy that was a long sentence.
ReplyDeleteI read Briggs' Hunting Ground earlier this year. It's a fairly short read, so you can definitely squeeze that one in before the year is up.
ReplyDeleteI also read Higgins' Too Good To Be True. I love Higgins' books. Very sweet and good doses of humor.
I'm maybe 20 pages from finishing my 75th book of 2009. (Vision In White by Nora Roberts). I joined a 100+ Challenge for 2010. That's going to be a stretch.
Good luck getting a few more books in over the next few weeks! I'll be doing the same. =)

ReplyDeleteI just finished The Book Thief. I only fit in about one book a month and I like it to be awesome. This one did not disappoint. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was really hoping to read 12 books in December so it would bring my yearly total up to 150 (that number wasn't my original goal though) but it seems unlikely as we're halfway through December and I've finished 2 books so far. So scrap that idea and I'll just read when I can.
ReplyDeleteI also love how I've heard of almost none of the books you've mentioned!
I maybe should go back and count the books I've read...that would be a good place to start! Maybe I could get that accomplished before the new year. I commend you for your lofty goals!
ReplyDeletewow you've got a great list of books going. Good luck finishing at least some of them and have a happy holiday!
