The 104 Book Challenge - 2015 discussion

I'm hoping to hit 144 books this year! *gulp*

that seems like a loot to me. fingers crossed :)))

Hi I just joined the group because i want to read more books. Hope we can be friends. Good luck.

Hi everyone, I have always read many books, but never anything close to 104 in 52 weeks so I'm pretty curious to see how it goes. I'm currently reading neverwhere by Neil gaiman, and I can strongly recommend it!!! It's brilliant!!! Has anyone read this book? Happy to hear about your books and opinions!

Hey, Seyma! So glad you're here! I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't read anything by Neil Gaiman. :( I should change that this year, huh?

Hi, Prajna! We're here to support your intention of reading more books. Glad you're here!

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the nice answer, I'm also very glad to be here :)) yea you should definitely read neverwhere I would love to hear your opinion about that book. I have only 60 pages left and I really dont want this book to come to and end, I'm so amazed by it. Also happy to hear a recommendation from you. My next book will be Mort by terry pratchett, from his death collection. Have you read book from terry pratchett??

NO! No Terry Pratchett, either. *hangs head in shame* I've read a lot of YA fantasy that I love, though! The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski and Storm Siren by Mary Weber are my two most recent favorites. I'll send you a friend request so we can share our favorites. :)

Stardust by Neil Gaiman was good. And of course Coraline (and I read both before seeing the movies) And of course the Sandman comics by him are great. He is about as fantasy as I get.

I am hoping that since I am not likely to be a mom a third time this year to double up on my reading. 208. We will see. I think you totally got this in the bag. |And thanks again for setting up a new group!!!

Thanks.. It's amazing
