Janet Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 That sounds like a lot of pressure to put on yourself, but good luck with achieving it. Does this mean you aren't buying books until you've read them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) I'll do it, it really isn't that big a deal. As of now I only need 28 more books (7 books a month). I don't plan too much what I'm going to read, I don't buy many books either, I'm a library borrower. And not to mention my TBR is heafty and my Kindle has so many things on it. I won't have to look far for reading material. Edited August 24, 2009 by busy91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 23 more to go, just 23. I can do it. Hey Janet, Love the Stephen Fry photo, that is him as Wilde isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It certainly is! I've recently read, and loved, The Picture of Dorian Gray and I love Mr Fry so it seemed just right! Congrats on getting down to 23 - that's some going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busy91 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I've done it. I've reached my goal of 75 books for this year. Next year I will really challenge myself and aim for 100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wow! That's an aweul lot of books. Have you had some stand out favourites and stand out horrors within that 75? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 There were some standouts yes. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - I've never read this, and this is the favorite of the year. Silas Marner by George Eliot- Audio, one of the best classics I've come across. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield - Audio, from what I have heard, it is better in Audio format. The narrators were interesting and made the story move. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - Children's book but very good, one of those books that make you think. The Little Lame Prince by Dinah Mulock - Another children's book that had one of those real heart wrenching morals. Beasts of New York by Jon Evans (ebook format only) - Only found on line, not in any store (online). Read this on my Kindle, it is labled as a fairy tale for adults, and what a ride.

busy91 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I usually don't post reviews here, but I thought I just had to post this about the last book I read, which was awful, and I would not want anyone to think "Hmmmm, that sounds good" and then blame me later .

busy91 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 March is starting off slow. But in my defense the last book I read was 700+ pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busy91 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 I fear 100 books will not be possible. I will consider myself lucky if I make 50 this year. So much busier than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMac Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi Liz I had a look at your reading list for 2010, and see you read Push by Sapphire. What did you think of it? I read it a few months ago, and loved it! However I found the subject matter so upsetting that I frequently had to put it down to recover and have a cry! The film was released here recently, but I was not able to catch it. I would be interested to see how it would translate to the screen. Now that April has passed, how did you get on with Losing Weight and being happier in 10 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Karen, I lost 7 lbs, but surely gained it back. I did feel better after the program. It was a hard one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 My goal of 100 might not happen. I have 70 more books to go and 6 months to do it in. That slightly over 11 books a month. yeah, ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Don't lose faith just yet. You never know, you might find yourself reading 20 books next month, them being short and not-put-downable Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
