Diane  (dianedj) To read more books that I already own, rather than always buying more. So the only books I will post on here are books that I read that I already own.

GOAL: 20 for the year. 5 per quarter.

Diane  (dianedj) Jan 1 - March 31 First Quarter

Wuthering Heights - completed 1/11/10
A Classic, and one that I own. Yay.

Diane  (dianedj) Kaliki, Yes, I loved it. I printed out a family tree which was very helpful (I googled Wuthering Heights and quite a few websites came up). All of the characters were intertwined/blood relations and the tree helped me understand all the connections. There is much more to the story than the love between Heathcliff and Cathy.

Good idea Diane....I've read 4 books for 2010 and owned them all!

Hey Shelli, that's great! I started a challenge on Chatting Chicks that you can't buy a new one until you read 5 that you already own. It's hard when those Borders coupons keep coming to my email!

Shelli Hey....I'm not getting any coupons!!!!

Diane  (dianedj) They've been sending out a bunch of 33% off. I take it you are a rewards member? (off to work, so signing off for now)
