  5. NB: I'm using the Goodreads rating system, which goes like this: 1/5: I didn't like it 2/5: It was okay 3/5: I liked it 4/5: I really liked it 5/5: It was amazing NB: I'm going to be more harsh with my rating this year, and I'm going to try and refrain from giving 5/5 to all great books, and reserve the highest rating for books that are great as well as recommendable, books that I will definitely want to re-read in the future and that I want to own a copy of.

  6. Hello everyone! This is my new reading log for 2018! 2017 was really bad for me when it came to reading. There was a lot of stressful stuff and I'm glad the year's coming to an end! I hope to have a more productive and a lot more enjoyable reading year in 2018! I hope everyone's mojo behaves next year! Have a great new year 2018!!
  7. I can't wait to get there! Work was a pain this week and today especially, but now I'm on my holiday I really need a break! I hope you have a lovely Christmas, Athena! I've seen you put up yours! I've not had a chance to take a thorough look yet, though. I've now been better for a while! I still need to continue with my exercises and all, though. But I don't mind! In other news, I'll be going home for the holidays and I don't expect to be on here that much. I plan to stay offline as much as possible! I wish everyone happy holidays!
  8. Hello everyone, nice to see you choosing books for each other already! As for me, I've had an annoying week at work and I've not had time to get involved with this challenge yet. I'll be leaving for my home town early tomorrow morning, and I'll be away for the holidays. I hope you guys don't mind that I've not gone through any of your lists yet, but will do so next week! I will then also add my list to the thread or provide a link, and then you'll be able to choose books for me, too! I'm looking forward to catching up with you after the holidays! I hope you all have a happy time
  9. This sounds like fun! Can I please join? I need the encouragement to get back to reading!
  10. Yep, I have exercises to do, and I'm also being way more careful about how I do stuff at work - I need to keep a good posture! I'm also not walking around with my hands in my pockets like I used to - apparently that's no good either!
  11. I hope you don't mind my French but son of a gun! What amazing photos!!
  12. I would love to participate! I've not done this in ages! But I've lost my mojo. I hope to get it back in time for this!!
  13. I watched half of Austenland the other week. I was mad that I missed the first 20-30 minutes! It was rather entertaining
  14. Hello hello! Just to quickly let you know, I'm a-okay! I've been AWOL because I had/have problems with my neck and shoulder and I've been avoiding the computer to a certain extent (I've seen a doctor and a physiotherapist and I'm on the mend). My reading's really suffered lately too, although not because of my neck. Work has been boring and annoying and after the holidays I'll be looking for a new job. So neck and work are bothering me, and reading's going awfully, but otherwise life is pretty good. 5 more days of work and then I'm off to my hometown! Sauna!!! Oh how I've missed you, my beloved sauna! I hope everyone's doing well! I only had a quick glance, but I didn't see any new reading logs for 2018 put up?
  15. I've started reading A Boy Made of Blocks by Keith Stuart. It's about a father and his autistic son, and his attempt to connect with him. Very good so far!
  16. I'm sorry I made you feel worried! And don't apologize for being the way you are! These days I'm here rather irregularly. I used to be more on here but then work got in the way ( ) and then there was the move and stuff. I'm very irregular in many ways these days, the only constant is work. Back when I was with my (now ex) boyfriend, I told him that if something happened to me, he should tell Kylie and Kylie could then let people on here know what was what. Sadly I don't have said boyfriend anymore Should anything happen to me, I think somebody would be smart enough to say something on my FB feed and then someone would 'leak' it on BCF. But don't worry, I've never even broken a bone before! I'm boring that way In Finnish we have this saying, "What could kill a bad one?" I've skimmed through EI myself and it seems really interesting! I like reading real-life examples as well. I've also tried reading TLF a few times but couldn't get too far with it. I think it's going to be a disappointment, but I'm still determined to read it at some point! You are absolutely correct, I have read the book and we did discuss it When I found a cheap copy of the book at the book fair I had to buy it because I want to re-read the book at some point! I have very fond memories of the novel
  17. Today I finished my first Rory Gilmore read of the year. It was Terms of Endearment by Larry McMurtry and I did not like it at all. I can't remember how this work is referred to in the series: whether it's the actual novel or the movie that was mentioned. Or just a character in either two. But I have a feeling it's the mother of the novel that got the book/movie to the list. I have a feeling this is a rare occasion of the movie being better than the book.
  18. I have finally finished Terms of Endearment by Larry McMurtry. It was not at all what I expected. I have no idea what to read next.
  19. Sorry for the really late reply, Inver, I've not been actively on the forum for about a month. The books I have to read by are A Lifetime Burning and Star Gazing.
  20. It must be the same book! I can't wait to get to it. I'm sure there's a long line of reservations before me, but I'm too scared to take a look to see just how many there are.
  21. Oh crap, I'm sad to see you didn't like the book either
  22. Meryl Streep is always brilliant She's amazing! I'm glad to hear you liked the book! It brings me hope
