Challenge: 50 Books discussion

Well 2014 is here and I'm looking for to many, many, many new books (and old favorites) in the coming year. I've set my goodreads challenge at 95 books and this is my starting point.

how was Beautiful Creatures? I have it on my nook and want to read it this year.

Better than Twilight but typical teen paranormal/romance. Easy read, not bad. The second one is better. Mixed feelings about it but if you're a fan of Twilight (I really wasn't) then you'll love them!

Wow! I'm impressed! I wish I had your time/stamina/dedication/time machine! Congrats! *throws confetti*

Woot! Woot! Nicely done. Time to graduate to the 100 books a year group, cause you're obviously ready for it.

Its 2pm, I'm still in bed, there's no housework done and I'm wondering if I'd get away with reading for another hour. I think I need help. I think I'm a book addict!!

I know, but that didn't stop me from staying there and reading for another 2 hours. I'm not sure if I'm proud of that or not! lol

Wow, that's a lot of reading and listening! Man, if I could read/listen to that much in a year... well, it would still take me a long time to get through all of my to-read lists, but they'd be a lot more manageable! I'm envious! :)
