kala_way Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 New! Hi! Lucybird told me about this site and it looks like my cup of tea I'm from Los Angeles and I'm a rather picky reader. I'm doing the 50 books in a year challenge this year as my New Year's resolution. Just finished #17! I generally don't like anything set in the present time and especially not anything set near where I live, because books are about exploring new times and places and people for me. I'm a sucker for a great complicated plot and I usually don't like "character books" where nothing really happens Fave authors (like picking favorite children but what can you do?) are Charlotte Bronte, Orson Scott Card, and Jo Rowling.

Nicola Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm doing the 50 books in a year challenge this year as my New Year's resolution. Just finished #17! :welcome2:Hey Kala_way! What a good idea....50 books a year sounds pretty good to me! I'm slowly but surely making my way through the BBC Big Read list. It's a bit outdated now as I think the list I have is from 2003 so it's missing a few that I think should be on there but it's all good I'll pop the link below if you're interested. http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml Quote

I've seen that list before! It's a great list! I've read about half of them, and a good number of them are on my list for this year. Quote
