chaliepud Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 That's me set up, nice and simple this year, just me, a TBR shelf and a Kobo, will continue to hold back on the buying as I have done for the past few months, though will no doubt be buying some books for the Kobo.. By the end of this year if I haven't read the books currently on the shelf they will be taken to the charity shop or given away to friends. Happy new reading year everyone! Quote
Ben Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Subscribed and looking forward to hearing your thoughts throughout the year. I do hope you have a great 2013. Quote
Devi Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy Reading in 2013! Good luck on the challenge too. Quote
Brian. Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy Reading in 2013, you have a nice selection on your TBR list Quote
bree Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Have a lovely reading year chaliepud! I was pleasantly surprised to see Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on your list. I "saw" this book in the catalogue of a pre-loved online book-store, a few days ago, and the title caught my eye - and I ordered it. What made you pick it up? (Or is it a famous book, and I have proved I live under a rock?) Edited January 1, 2013 by bree Quote

Happy Reading in 2013! Good luck on the challenge too. Many thanks Devi, I hope you have a great reading year and a healthy one too.

(Or is it a famous book, and I have been now proved I live under a rock?) It's been a while but I'm pretty sure I saw it on a best books list somewhere, it was at the time I was buying a lot of books so I wasn't being too discriminate. Still looks good to me though and I definitely will read it this year, hopefully in the next few months. I know I've seen it on other members TBR lists and wish lists so it is fairly well known. Thanks for popping in, happy new year! Quote
vodkafan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 That really is a simple plan chaliepud. Are all those books on your list treebooks or a mix of kobo as well? Quote
lauraloves Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Happy Reading in 2013, i look forward to hearing your thoughts on your books as i have a lot of the same on my tbr and wishlist Quote
Kidsmum Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 If i had the power to mess with your mind & move three of your books to the top of your TBR list they'd be Rebecca, I Capture The Castle & The Guernsey Potato Peel one.... Mwahaha !!!! Happy Reading in 2013 Chaliepud whatever you decide to read Quote
chaliepud Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 That really is a simple plan chaliepud. Are all those books on your list treebooks or a mix of kobo as well? Hi VF, all tree books bar one, Petals in the Ashes, I'm trying to not have more than one or two books waiting on my Kobo in case I start to neglect my TBR shelf. At the moment I'm planning on saving the Kobo for reads that are either cheaper or not available as tree books. Happy Reading in 2013, i look forward to hearing your thoughts on your books as i have a lot of the same on my tbr and wishlist Thanks Laura, you too.. If i had the power to mess with your mind & move three of your books to the top of your TBR list they'd be Rebecca, I Capture The Castle & The Guernsey Potato Peel one.... Mwahaha !!!! Happy Reading in 2013 Chaliepud whatever you decide to read Scary KM! Rebecca is definitely one I want to get to soon! Honest! Quote
Janet Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 If i had the power to mess with your mind & move three of your books to the top of your TBR list they'd be Rebecca, I Capture The Castle & The Guernsey Potato Peel one.... Mwahaha !!!! I do have that power, and if I were to abuse it, I'd move two of them to the top, and the Dodie Smith one firmly to the bottom! However, I'll be a good girl! Happy reading 2013, Chalie.

However, I'll be a good girl! Happy reading 2013, Chalie. Now I'm geting very nervous!!!!!! Saying that I read the first page of ICTC and it seemed rather odd, I may now have to read it to settle the argument.. Quote
Janet Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Hehe - you're safe - I'd never abuse my powers! I do hope you like it. I read it for my Book Club and was definitely in the minority in not enjoying it. Quote

Mwahaha !!!! Happy Reading in 2013 Chaliepud whatever you decide to read I agree with the Potato Peel one. I read that on a recommendation from here and loved it. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 I agree with the Potato Peel one. I read that on a recommendation from here and loved it. Looks like I need to get to these books ASAP! Quote

By the end of this year if I haven't read the books currently on the shelf they will be taken to the charity shop or given away to friends. Happy new reading year everyone! I love that plan. I'm tempted to do something similar myself with me remaining tree-books but I suspect I won't be so restrained with my Kobo as you and won't have made a great dent in the paper ones. What colour Kobo did you get in the end? Quote

What colour Kobo did you get in the end? Hi Andrea, my Kobo is white with the blue back, good choice by Steve as I wouldn't have liked a black one as much, this matches my phone and iPad! I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed reading on it, I've finished a book already on it and downloaded my next, it's so much more comfortable reading in bed with it, but I am going to make myself read at least one tree book in between, at least that's my plan! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Ah same colour as me. I agree it's so much more comfortable than a physical book. Glad you're enjoying it Quote
Nollaig Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Lucky ladies, I got the pink-backed white Kobo. Not keen on the pink (or the white, really), but I'm going to buy a cover for it anyway so it doesn't matter all that much. Long as I have a functioning e-reader I am happy! Quote
Kidsmum Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Looks like I need to get to these books ASAP! Yay, Result !!!! Quote
frankie Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 2013: TO BE READ Allende, Isabel – The House of the Spirits Bradshaw, John – In Defence of Dogs Du Maurier, Daphne – Rebecca I have these on my TBR pile too, I have a feeling all of these will be great reads! Ellis, Shaun – Wolf Within: How I Learned to Talk Dog Phew, you do have some wolf/dog titles left to read... Haig, Matt – The Last Family in England This is a great doggy book, I really hope you enjoy it. Not as good as Enzo, and not like Marley, but really good anyways. Probably in my top 5 doggy books! Juster, Norton – The Phantom Tollbooth I've started this a few times and it's really great, but I've never finished, for a few reasons... Just haven't had the time, I guess. But that's my fault, not the books! Shafer, Mary Ann – The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society Solomons, Natasha – Mr Rosenblum’s List These are really great, I dare say you shall like them That's me set up, nice and simple this year, just me, a TBR shelf and a Kobo, will continue to hold back on the buying as I have done for the past few months, though will no doubt be buying some books for the Kobo.. By the end of this year if I haven't read the books currently on the shelf they will be taken to the charity shop or given away to friends. What on earth is this Kobo people keep talking about? Is it like a Kindle? Oh, I've been meaning to tell you: due to not having the finances this year and a few other things, Kylie and I won't be visiting England after all this year... So we won't be able to meet you and I won't be able to come and give Obi a real big cuddle, as was planned, but I really hope that we will make it soon, some other time, and can maybe meet you then I hope you have a great year in 2013, re: reading and other aspects of your life, too!
