Inver Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Having been a member of Bookcrossing since 2004, a lot of books have passed through my hands/swapped/bookringed/rayed etc and I have inevitably ended up with quite a lot on my shelves. These books have Bookcrossing labels inside and I have to admit I have neglected a lot that have come into my possesion. My aim now is to read some of these, starting 2012. I can hopefully pass them on to fellow bookcrossers/book club forum members, as I do so. I will list them here as I read them. Of course I have plenty to choose from but I am not going to make a list as such. I may select a few that I will try to read which have been on my TBR list on Bookcrossing and have been registered by other Bookcrossers and sent to me and have more than one person make a journal entry for the book. Wish me luck.....this could take me quite a while to get through. The link to the Bookcrossing site to find out more is in my signature for those who want to know what it is all about. (I am registered as 'Inver' on there too) THANKS FOR VISITING Edited January 10, 2012 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm not sure if you're "open for business" yet, so I can delete this if not, but I just wanted to say that I read A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry last year and thought it was fabulous! My Mum is a big Rosie Thomas fan, so I hope you enjoy that. I read Sunrise by her donkey's years ago and enjoyed it. I've been meaning to re-read it (although it's not the sort of book I tend to read these days) but I'm loathe to re-read much with such a large 'to read' pile! Anyway, good luck. I just thought I'd mention too that the link in your signature takes me to my own page on Book Crossing, not yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) 'The Cave' by Kate Mosse Review Here Adding this as my first read of my challenge, although have to admit that it hasn't actually been on my bookshelf very long but it did have 8 journalers before me. It was sent as a RABCK. I will need to find a new home for it now I guess. Edited January 12, 2012 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 'The Necklace' by Cheryl Jarvis Review Here Again this is not a book that has been lounging on my shelf, but a recent bookring but it does have 11 journalers before me, so I thought it was worthy of a mention.

Inver Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 'Still Alice' by Lisa Genova Review Here Another recent bookring with a good few journalers for it and worth adding to the list as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) 'A Simple Life' by Rosie Thomas Review Here Hoorah, managed to read and score one of the list of my TBR pile from the bookcrossing book list. This book can now move off the TBR shelf to Available (get in touch if you would like it). Edited February 15, 2012 by Inver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hossein Not one on my list but I had borrowed this one from my sister after reading The Kite Runner. Difficult to say if I enjoyed it, but one I'm glad I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) 2013 'My Dear, I wanted to tell you' by Louisa Young Review Here My first read of the year and it was a good one. Had slight comparisons with 'Birdsong' but that didn't matter. This one was a bookring and is now on its way to the next reader.

Inver Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 'The Memory Stones' by Kate O'Riordan Review Here I picked up this book at our local Bookcrossing meetup in 2009. Have had it on my shelf for quite a while, so thought I should read and get it moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 'The Abortionist's Daughter' by Elizabeth Hyde Review here Another one that had lounged on the shelf for a while...bit of a dull read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 'Variation on a Theme' by Barbara Delinsky This was a bookray I joined up for but I had hardly started and soon found out that I didn't like the characters or the way it was written and very dated, that I never finished it. Just wasn't my sort of read so no review for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 'The Returned' by Jason Mott Review here This was a RABCK that was sent to me via Goodreads. Difficult to say if I liked it or not. Passing it on to another Bookcrosser who wants to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 'Left Neglected' by Lisa Genova. Review here Having read 'Still Alice' I looked forward to reading this one. Picked up at our local Bookcrossing meetup a while back from a fellow bookcrosser. It was enjoyable but I like 'Still Alice' better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) 'The Vintage Teacup Club' by Vanessa Greene. Review Here This one was sent to me by a fellow bookcrosser who saw that I had it on my wishlist. It was a bit of a chic lit, but enjoyable enough and didn't take me long to read, so adding to my reads for 2014 quickly.

Inver Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) 'The Distance Between Us' by Maggie O'Farrell Review Here This was another charity sale find that I registered myself.
