Jennifer’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

Ha ha I know what you mean! We moved last year and I haven't decided on new bookshelves since I had to leave my built-ins :( but I now have boxes of books in the guest bedroom that I am reading thru. Hoping to minimize the pile while I decide what I want for actual shelves in our loft.

Good luck with your challenge this year, I am hoping to have more time to be active online.

I didn't do very well last year of keeping up with my posts so hopefully I can do a better job this year.

Also, I am going to really try to read books that I already own so I can clear some room on my shelves for new books.

I did a terrible job of keeping up with my posts this year :(

But I did finish 45 books. I was short of my goal but with a certification class and a new job not too bad.

Setting up my 2014 Challenge and hopefully I can do a little better keeping my posts updated.

9. The Myth of You and Me by Leah Stewart ***

This has been on my shelf for years! Don't know why I never read it but I enjoyed the story quite a bit.

10. Don't Look Back by Karin Fossum ****

This one was from my MIL and it was kind of slow until the end when everything kind of came together.

I haven't posted my books in a while but I have been reading some okay books, mostly in series.

3. Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris ***

5. Last to Die by Tess Gerritsen ***


6. An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris

8. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde ***

2. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society *****


I really enjoyed reading this book.

1. Our Lady of the Lost and Found by Diane Shoemperlen **


I didn't care for the rambling chapters in this book. The original story would have been better without all the history chapters thrown in the middle.

I am again going to challenge myself to 50 books for this year. Probably going to include some textbooks this year along with my fun reading.

Good luck everyone!

58. Michael by Aaron Patterson ***

59. Pretend You Don't See Her by Mary Higgins Clark ***

60. Perfume: The Story of a Murder by Patrick Suskind

Well I beat my goal by ten books this year. Thinking about raising my goal for next year but I will be taking some certification classes and don't know how much reading and homework will be involved. So I will start with 50 and see how it goes.

My mom sent me a bunch of Sookie Stackhouse books to read when I was having surgery and had to be in bed most of the day. Didn't want anything to heavy to try to focus on. She is coming for the holidays and I wanted to finish them all so I can return them to her. Think I will change series for a while now :)

Thanks Tiffany I am really proud of myself for making my goal this year, with time to spare :)

And I didn't even count any books for my certification classes I have been taking. There's my educational addition.

I finished my 50 books for this year!!! I don't feel like I read anything really heavy or life altering this year but with a new job, move, and surgery I was trying to get rid of books I had lying around and relax. Now I can focus on reading holiday books next month to finish out the year.

42. Final Approach by John J. Nance **
I didn't love this but my husband has read it twice.

I have been horrible about posting my books lately. I feel like I have'nt had any time but when I looked at the books I have finished recently, I am still doing pretty good even though none of them have been terribly long or intense. I'm slowly trying to clear books off of my shelves so I don't have to move them :)
