Congratulations on reading 73 books last year, thus making 2018 the second best year for you so far!
I hope you have a very satisfactory year of reading in 2019, as well!

This talk makes me want to re-read The Graveyard Book. I liked it when I first read it, but I feel I didn't get the most out of it the first time.
Happy reading in 2019, Ian!

I'm curently reading Susanna Clarke "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell" (on p.65 out of 1006) and I really like it.
It's a massive novel, but very enjoyable! I personally couldn't put it down, which I found odd at the time because I'm not one for fantasy much... Enjoy!
I hope you have a great reading year!

Yay, the reading log is now set up!
My log is pretty much the same as last year, minus the Round Robin challenge which I completely failed last year, as I couldn't get into it
Sorry!
And yet I've decided to take up another challenge
The challenge is the annual Helmet reading challenge (Helmet being Helsinki Metropolitan libraries). I've heard about it before but this is the first year I've decided to get involved. I've only got myself to report to, and that suits me as I never know what mojo has planned for me.
In case you're interested in what exactly the helmet reading challenge is, here's the English translation:

The Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson - my favourite fantasy series. I've banged the drum about it quite enough by now. It's like Marmite.

The Belgariad - David Eddings - this was the series that introduced me to the fantasy genre. I loved it when I was 14 or 15. Not sure how I'd feel about it if I read it again now, but I have to include it here.

Hello everyone!
Welcome 2019 and new and old books! I hope we all have a great year of reading! 
I've now set up my log, it's very much the same as last year, plus a new challenge (and minus Round Robin, which I just couldn't get into last year
)
-
I'm sorry I've been missing in action, it's just been busy towards the end of the year, and I haven't felt very energetic, probably because of lack of light. December did cheer me up what with all the festivities, and now I'm really eager about this new year!
To summarize 2018, reading-wise...It was a crappy year! I had no mojo in the early months of the year, which made me sad. Frankie was sad.
I also became involved with my BF who took up some of my time, and then I suffered from a bout of depression, which I felt was unexpected. I'm much better now, thanks to online therapy (they didn't have the resources for live therapy at that point in time).
At the start of the year my goal for books read was 100 as it always is, but I soon figured that was going to be impossible and uninspiring instead of encouraging. Towards the end of the year I decided it would be nice to read 36 books, which is one more than last year. But it wasn't to be
But I'm not that bothered.
Here are the books I read this year:
1. Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella (re-read) 2/5 - thoughts
2. Dumplin' by Julie Murphy 3/5 - thoughts
3. Lukot by Pauliina Susi 3/5 - thoughts
4. Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi (re-read) 4/5 - thoughts
5. The Widow by Fiona Barton 4/5 - thoughts
6. The Cold Song by Linn Ullmann 3/5 - thoughts
7. Pormestari by Herman Koch 2/5 - thoughts
8. The Secret of Happy Ever After by Lucy Dillon (re-read) 5/5 - thoughts
9. Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella 3/5 - thoughts
10. The Beach House by Jane Green 3/5 - thoughts
11. Kaikki anteeksi by Laura Manninen 4/5 - thoughts
12. Wedding Ring by Emilie Richards 4/5 - thoughts
13. Keskivaikea vuosi by Pauliina Vanhatalo 3/5
14. Särkyneen pyörän karjatila by Peter Franzén 4/5
15. Jemima J by Jane Green (re-read)
16. How Do You Like Me Now by Holly Bourne 3/5
17. The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter 4/5
18. The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman 4/5
19. The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson 4/5
20. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson 4/5
21. Sivuhenkilö by Saara Turunen 5/5
22. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman 5/5
23. Under the Influence by Joyce Maynard 3/5
24. In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware 1/5
25. Kosteusvaurioita by Ani Kellomäki 2/5
26. Upstairs at the Party by Linda Grant 2/5
27. Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff 3/5
28. The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand 4/5
29. Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty 3/5
30. The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp by Sarra Manning 2/5
31. Nepsyt by Essi Jäntti & Riitta Savinainen (editors) 4/5
32. Ei muisteta pahalla by Veera Nieminen 4/5
33. Korkeampi oikeus by Hjorth & Rosenfeldt 3/5
34. Ehkä tänä kesänä kaikki muuttuu by Sisko Savonlahti 3/5
35. Rouva C. by Minna Rytisalo 4/5
I read 11 books off TBR pile, and 20 library books. Average rating was 3,25 if I counted correctly. What I'm most happy about my reading is that I managed so many books off my TBR pile. 27 books were written by female authors, and only 8 were by male authors!
And looking back, I read 10 books by Finnish authors, which I think is actually the happiest thing about my read books this year. That's well above my average year.
I'm off to make a 2019 reading log, and then I hope to have some time to go through unread threads on the forum!
Happy New Year and Happy Reading, folks!

It's so easy to let your wishlist go crazy isn't it!? I sometimes go to add a book to mine and realise I already put it on there years ago!
So congratulations on your nice neat wishlist now, it must be nice 
I have to say, for some reason I do tend to remember if I've already added a title on my wishlist or not, but then if I had to say why I'd added a certain title, it's recently become more and more difficult! I used to organize my wishlist a lot and I used to remember more about it, but these days there are just too many books on my TBR pile there's no use in dreaming about wishlist books On 25.11.2018 at 6:12 PM, Athena said:Well done on the wishlist culling
!
Thanks! It felt amazing
On 25.11.2018 at 6:12 PM, Athena said:I should do something like that too some time. I kind of put my old wishlist, in stasis, and started anew. But I do have the old list still (it's on GR too). It's just.. there's so much on there and I don't remember a lot of it nor am I interested, so it'd take some time and energy to go through it. Instead I just started over with a wishlist on a Dutch website I often use.
I think that's the way to go, having the old list as a back up list, and starting anew. If one feels nervous about doing a cull... And yes, it takes a lot of time to go over the list! The further I got, the more easily I started just deleting titles
On 26.11.2018 at 2:59 PM, ian said:Ah, the wish list - every readers nightmare!
I've refused to make one for several years now. Of course, the result of that is; I walk into a bookshop and think " what was that book called? You know, the one by the author whose name I can't remember"!
You should then come on BCF and start a thread to ask "Hey what's that title of the book, one of you must know what I'm talking about?!"
On 8.12.2018 at 5:15 AM, Kylie said:Oh wow! I've just been to check out your new and improved wishlists. They're so tiny!
I've been inspired by you to do some culling of my wishlist on the Book Depository, where I keep my main wishlist. Well, I've started the cull, but still have some way to go. Yep, the lists are so tiny!
Glad to have inspired you -

That seems stupid
. I haven't read the book and have little interest in John Steinbeck or classics, and I would've known.. You'd expect more from someone who's studied literature..
Exactly!
On another note, I've done a massive cull on my wishlist (fiction). I've had the wishlist for so long and I couldn't say what most of the books on it were about and where I'd gotten the idea to read them. I saved the full list on my computer and then did the cull on the list on the first page of this thread. It's so short, it's refreshing
I'm going to do the same with my non-fiction wishlist.

Status Anxiety sounds really intriguing, I'm adding it to my wishlist!
-
I'm still watching Vanity Fair, there's only one episode left.
Has anyone watched Capital? I've watched the first episode, and I'm intrigued! I know it's based on a novel which is on my wishlist... I wonder if bobblybear has watched it, as she read the book?

Yes! I know what you mean!! !ow I'm reading 'Dreamcatcher' and I'm not that impressed with it so far. Too much burping and passing wind for my liking. By the characters in the book, not by me I might add!
Sorry you didn't like Dreamcatcher! I've never even tried reading it, the synopsis has never appealed to me. I actually had to google what the book is about. I found something interesting on Wikipedia:
"The book, written in cursive, helped the author recuperate from a 1999 car accident, and was completed in half a year. According to the author in his afterword, the working title was Cancer.[1] His wife, Tabitha King, persuaded him to change the title. A film adaptation was released in 2003.
In 2014, King told Rolling Stone that "I don't like Dreamcatcher very much," and stated that the book was written under the influence of Oxycontin.[2]
So don't feel bad about not liking the book, King doesn't like it either

How was Nine Perfect Strangers, Frankie? Any good?
It was a bit of a disappointment, I have to say. I really loved the first half of the book but then things took a turn that I personally wasn't too keen on. I did like the book but found it lacking. It's nothing compared to Big Little Lies which is my favorite. Maybe others will enjoy / will have enjoyed it more!
Edit: I forgot to say, I'm currently reading The Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp by Sarra Manning.

I've been busy with stuff, so haven't been on here for a few weeks or so. The way I go about things is I click on unread content and read the new posts people have written after my last visit. I was going to do the same today, as I have plenty of free time on my hands, but I accidentally marked the whole forum read, when I was supposed to mark the games and quizzes section to be read.
Now there's all sorts of new stuff in all different threads and I will never know any of that!! Why am I such a klutz! I had really looked forward to getting into the unread content!
Edit: Haha, I figured a way! I went and asked the forum to show me all content (that I'd 'read') in the past x days and now I can view all threads that have had activity since I've been gone!

Frankie - Your Books read list and TBR are a couple of the most impressive lists that I have seen.
Thank you muggle not!
And I'm sorry for not having responded to this earlier! I think finding out that the forum would shut down made me a little sad (well, obviously) and I kept coming on here regularly when it was still up and running before things took another turn.
QuoteThat said, I wonder if I missed seeing two of John Steinbeck's books on either list. I see where you thought highly of Cannery Row and wonder why you haven't read Tortilla Flats or Sweet Thursday which both take place near Monterrey, California.
No, you didn't miss them! The thing is, I had a copy of Cannery Row which also included Sweet Thursday. I really liked Cannery Row, but for some reason I didn't move on to ST straight after that. Then I gave the copy away because it was a secondhand book and in Finnish and I thought I'd rather re-read CR in English first and then move on to ST after that, in the original language. But I never got around to it!
I have been intending to read Tortilla Flats, as well, but I haven't gotten around to that, either! I think the biggest problem is that I don't read that many classics these days, I feel like they are too difficult for me at the moment. I fear that my brain can't take it. But maybe I'm overly cautious and should just trust my brain...
Edit: I was watching the Finnish version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire a week ago, and one of the questions was, 'Who wrote The Grapes of Wrath?'. I don't expect everyone to know the answer, but the contestant had a master's degree and had studied literature, so I fully expected him to know the stuff! He went with William Faulkner
QuoteI also don't see anything by Cormac McCarthy who is maybe the greatest living author in the USA. I may have overlooked all three books as your lists are really extensive and packed with outstanding books.
I've been meaning to read The Road, it's been on my mental wishlist for some years, but in the past years I've started to avoid books that deal with terminal illnesses and doom and gloom because they make me too sad
You are welcome to recommend something else by Cormac McCarthy, though! QuoteKinda off topic. I spent a long weekend in Monterrey, California and had a fabulous dinner on Cannery Row. We were racing at Laguna Seca. We had our race car on Cannery Row as a promotion and our driver was interviewed by the newspaper. This was a long time ago back in 2000. .
That's amazing!
It must be thrilling to be able to visit places you've read about in classic books, it will give you a better perspective!
