Right now I'm trying to read my childhood-favourites, but I did sign up for this monster duel reading thing where people read either Frankenstein or Dracula. I should really be concentrating on that.<br /><br />Usually a read one book at a time girl, but I'm reading two at the moment! One is Charlotte's Web though :)Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-39019900338372375082009-10-05T11:35:03.488-05:002009-10-05T11:35:03.488-05:00Oh I totally have a stack of books I want to finis...Oh I totally have a stack of books I want to finish before the year ends. I keep on getting library books (I have to say "No Amanda No") and getting review books I have to review. I also am desperately trying to get 100 books in this year but am not sure I'm going to make it. Ahh!!! Haha. And then those challenges. I failed the Non-Fiction one but am going to still try to finish it before the year is out. We'll see...it's all fun, right?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978371169108528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-81913376290228693932009-10-05T09:34:28.911-05:002009-10-05T09:34:28.911-05:00I'm trying to finish the ones I started too......I'm trying to finish the ones I started too...

So far I've knocked 3 off the original list of 9 (and snuck in a few that weren't on the list as well). Here's hoping it works because I don't want to have them be holdovers into next year!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651401312450990123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-40280505146042591852009-10-04T21:14:27.738-05:002009-10-04T21:14:27.738-05:00I have 6 books that need to be read immediately:

Having said that, I think I might actually finish one this year.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-64916180410295922712009-10-04T15:32:23.810-05:002009-10-04T15:32:23.810-05:00Hi, Lisa!

Four is a very good effort. :-)<br /><br />The Danish Girl is on my wish list too. No, I take that back. I think it's in my TBR collection. I just need to read it. :-)<br /><br />There are definitely books I would like to finish before the year is out, but I have no set list. I dropped out of most of my challenges last month and that took a lot of the pressure off.<br /><br />I tend to read one book at a time, and at the most two but that's rare. Since I don't often have a lot of time to read during the week, sticking to one book works best for me.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Lisa!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-14614115244810755642009-10-04T15:18:32.095-05:002009-10-04T15:18:32.095-05:00This is a great post just because I like looking a...This is a great post just because I like looking at all of these lists :) Seriously though, as it gets closer and closer to the end of the year I am just trying to enjoy whatever it is that I am reading. I'm not too worried about any of the challenges and if I finish them or not but I do want to try and read SOME of the library books that I have checked out.samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-28373298771227625162009-10-04T14:38:47.636-05:002009-10-04T14:38:47.636-05:00Yay for the NFF and getting closer than you've...Yay for the NFF and getting closer than you've come. That in itself is accomplishment. <br /><br />Now, have a bookmark in several books and actively reading several books are two different things. Are you reading all of these books now?? Holy geez! I have several that I have a bookmark a chapter in (including AVM), but I'm not actively reading any of them. Really need to get back to those.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-23838371300496844002009-10-04T14:25:45.430-05:002009-10-04T14:25:45.430-05:00I just read "Just the Sexiest Man Alive"...I just read "Just the Sexiest Man Alive" last week.
