kelly2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thank you Now I need to make sure no more books end up on my tbr until August and hopefully thats enough time to get my tbr down to 20 But I'll have to read 10 more this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 This is turning out to be a very good month for me I've read 21 books so far (although some are short) and I'm half way through listening to 'Secret Garden' I've loved so many books this month, especially Agatha christie's, C.S Lewis, Janet Evanovich and Jodi Picoult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wow that's some going Kelly, I've read just over that in 6 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 But alot were by Agatha Christie and they are short and an Enid Blyton one which was also short and obviously 'chronicles of narnia' dont take long. Next month I'm tackling some of the chunky reads which have been waiting a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 'Hard Eight- Janet Evanovich' This book was the first I have read in the Plum series and I enjoyed it, will definatly read the others. 'Boy In Striped PJ's- John Boyle' The reading circle book for this month, it made me cry lol was better than I expected. ' The Abortionist's Daughter- Elizabeth Hyde' I'm not sure what to think about this book it was an ok read but a bit too quick and easy going not to mention obvious, it was worth reading though Now to tackle some of the chunky ones I'm still listening to 'Secrert Garden' and 'Black Beauty' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookworm44 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Kelly, I was curious what you thought of Metro Girl and Motor Mouth by Janet Evanovich since you've read some of the Plum books as well. I was going to read both books because I LOVE the Plum series, but someone once told me not to bother, that they don't compare at all to the Plum books.
