I have avoided the Life of Pi and I think that you have confirmed my initial thoughts on it Liz. I won't rush to order this from the library I think

It is Liz - a nice round number Next year I want to up the stakes to 100

Finished Louis the Beloved - my 75th book of the year

Jane Austen book challenge, read a few from the TBR pile and to read more!

Looks like you'll be raiding my bookshelves then, eh?

Now for my all time favourite author - Jean Plaidy - Louis the Well Beloved

It's been a good year for reading. I've read some lovely books - I only wish that there had been time for more! I've just started my 75th book of the year

Hello and welcome - hope you enjoy it here!

DH and the kids totally loved this years special. It was very touching in places

Enjoy that one Louise! Whilst not her best - it still cuts a good read

Moving onto Tracy Chevalier - Burning Bright

I don't get stressed about my TBR pile. I panic if it starts dropping down to about 50. I regard my TBR pile as my backup as well for when I run out of library books!

Well into Nicci French - Secret Smile

I blame you for the Matthew Bartholomew series!!! They are very good and I'm now looking out for them in the librar - a very good recommendation Louise!!!

I don't like to set any limits on how much I read a day, although I like to read at least 50 pages a day. Yesterday I read 186 pages where as the day before I was soooo tired I struggled to get to 20!! I don't like books lasting more than 4 / 5 days max though. I like to read for the pure enjoyment and using a maximum limit would make it more of a chore.

Sausages and mash

Now reading Jean Plaidy - The Italian Woman
