~ Reserved for TBR List ~

It has been a long, long time since I have been on this forum and to be honest I haven't read as many books as I used too. But I still have a TBR pile I need to get through and really do think being a part of this forum will help. I did do a clear out of my books and donated those to charity I would not ever read. I want to be a bit more minimalist in terms of my possessions and that includes my books. I want to get through my TBR pile without adding more to it unless it is from a series that I am currently following. I will not be purchasing any more books unless it is something I have been looking for and I get it from the charity shop or acquire it from the library. I also crochet so that is why I find it hard to read a lot as well. I know it is more than half way through the year but I hope this will set me up for this challenge in the new year. Previous Reading Lists: 2009 : 39 2010 : 38 2011 : 12 2012 : 5 2013: 3 2014: 0 2015: 4 2016: 1 RATINGS 5/5: Excellent - could not put the book down. Highly recommended. 4/5: Very Good - really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. 3/5: Good - readable and would recommend. 2/5: OK - nothing to write home about but read it when you have nothing else to read. 1/5: Awful - finished the book for the sake of finishing a book but don't waste your time reading it. 0/5: Abandoned - that bad I couldn't even finish it. Don't even bother with it. CURRENTLY READING: Dead Reckoning ~ Charlaine Harris September 2017 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ~ J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ~ J.K.

Oh dear! I have completely abandoned this journal. I have not been reading too much either. My mojo had seriously packed it's bags and left me for good. But I ended up giving in and buying the first book in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Still, it hasn't captured me but still plodding through it. Hope everyone is well. x

I definitely think it is not same without Jason but I do love Louie Spence. I don't think the line up is that great as I don't know too many of them either.

Managed to finish Report for Murder by V.L. McDermid and also Animal Farm by George Orwell. I have now started Amanda's Wedding by Jenny Colgan.

Oh, reviews will come later.

I managed to finish Report for Murder by V.L McDermid and also read and finished Animal Farm by George Orwell. Well, it was a short read anyway. I started another chicklit, well I actually started it in 2011 but didn't read much of it. So I am going to finish that before reading anything else on my TBR list. It's Amanda's Wedding by Jenny Colgan. Definitely going for a good thriller next. I think that 1st to Die by James Patterson is in transit from the library so hopefully it will be here by the time I finish Amanda's Wedding.

I seen it in Tescos and was tempted but as I said I will not (while try anyway) buy any new books this year. Let me know what you think when you get around to reading it chaliepud.

Just added to my wishlist for the first time this year and it is a chicklit. I haven't been reading much chicklits in the last few years but I have a lot in my TBR list that I need to get through and they are nice reads between thrillers. Anyway, I have added Me Before You by Jojo Moyes which I believe is a new release. I read a review of the book which was giving it top marks so I thought it be worth putting onto my list. Synopsis: Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.

Got a good bit of reading done last night. I am now half way through Report for Murder by V.L. McDermid and I am enjoying it.

Chestnuts

I have started Report for Murder by V.L. McDermid. It's the first book I have read by her and I am looking forward to getting home after work and reading some more....oh of course that is after I go out for my run.

Just one for me too. I started reading books and putting them aside then starting another and another. I was ending up have 3-4 books started and none being finished so one it is now.

Twenties Girl ~by~ Sophie Kinsella Started: some time in 2011 Finished: 03/01/12 Pages: 480 Rating: 3/5 Synopsis: Lara has always had an overactive imagination. Now she wonders if she is losing her mind. Normal twenty-something girls just don't get visited by ghosts! But inexplicably, the spirit of Lara's great aunt Sadie - in the form of a bold, demanding Charleston-dancing girl - has appeared to make one last request: Lara must track down a missing necklace Sadie simply can't rest without. Lara's got enough problems of her own. Her start-up company is floundering, her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, and she's just been dumped by the love of her life. But as Lara spends time with Sadie, life becomes more glamorous and their treasure hunt turns into something intriguing and romantic. Could Sadie's ghost be the answer to Lara's problems and can two girls from different times end up learning something special from each other? Review: I didn't think I would enjoy this book to begin with. It's far-fetched and somewhat cheesy and even predictable but it turned out to be a good read with a few good laughs. I would not say it was the best book I have ever read but I did rate it 3 stars which means readable and recommendable to chick lit lovers.

Great TBR Ben. I see Ms Slaughter on your list....just love her books. We have quite similiar books on our TBRs and like you I am hoping to make a big dent in it this year........no book purchases for me! Happy reading Ben.

Thanks Ben Well, I just picked up my first temporarily acquired book of the year....from the library! It is February Flowers by Fan Wu. This is my attempt to keep up with one of my challenges this year by reading a book with the month in the title. I have never read any books from this author before and these style of books are out of my comfort zone. Now I just need to acquire my January read. I have ordered January Colours by Curtis Alder. Again, this will be the first I have read anything from this author but I feel this one will not be so out of my confort zone. I have also ordered 1st to Die by James Patterson. I have 4th of July by James Patterson down as my July read but I have not read the first three books in the series so I really need to catch up.

Hi Charm....do you have a new reading log for 2012 yet?

Thanks chesilbeach. I really do hope to make a dent in my TBR pile but if previous years are to go by...I think I may be lying. I find reading more relaxing than doing my crafts now. I think that is because I spent most of last year selling my jewellery, doing orders and craft fairs so it felt as if it was a must. Thanks Inver....xxx

Hi CW, Happy New Year to you. I was quite bad in 2011 also. My life was taken over my weddings, races, craft fairs etc so reading was put on the back burner. This year I hope to make it one of my priority hobbies again.

Thanks Charmed. I had a very bad reading year last year. Quite busy with crafty projects instead but I am determined to put a big hole in my TBR list this year. Hope all is well with you.
