I have challenged myself to 49 books this year. I wanted to more but didn't dare because life gets busy and didn't want to feel guilty if I didn't meet my goal. So I am hoping that I will exceed my goal!!

As of today (1/17/12) I have read 4 books and started my 5th.

The books so far are:
-The Help by Kathryn Stockett
-Face the Fire by Nora Roberts
-Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich
-Three to Get Deadly by Janet Evanovich

So I realized I could edit this post (still learning the SITE). So ill start adding my books here for the year..

Feb. 13. - book 10/49

3/5 stars

It was a great book for valentines day. Great love story withthe couple and the trials a marriage goes through. My only complaint was that it was so slow at first then I couldn't put it down the lat couple of chapters. Good book overall.

Just finished another book!!! 5/49Undead and Unwed

I picked up that series a while back at a church sale, so I hope you say yes Sheena!

It was okay, It was a real quick read with no real plot. I have to say I wouldn't recommend it.

Ack! Oh well, they were cheap ;)

They will be a good book to fill in time between books that you are reading for book clubs!!!

Wow, 5 books already? That's good work. You definitely must be ahead of your goal.

Thank you Katelyn, I was thinking that I should get ahead while winter is here because the summers are a little busy sometimes to get my reading in!!

Finished 6/49


Loved it!! They still make me laugh out loud!!

I can get the fifth one to you on saturday if you would like :)

7/49.... I making great progress this month. I sure hope that I can continue this speed throughout the year and maybe pass my goal.

Book 7:


It was an okay book. I think that I am to old for the plot of the story. It is highschoolish. So it would be great for younger readers.

Yay book 8/49 completed!!!!!



I am so going to have to read book 6. I can't wait to see what happens!!

9/49
The Mystic Wolves

I couldn't put it down...ok but it was the first book I read on my kindle (which is amazing).. At this rate I may be able to exceed my goal!!!

Aha! Another e-reader addict in the making! I do read faster on my e-reader than paper books and I've heard quite a few others say the same.

I keep hearing all these good things about e-readers...But I´m still fighting myself against it..

It is so true! I can read a book in about a day on an e-reader if it is less than 350 pages. It takes me a couple to three days to complete a paper book with the same amount of pages.

I fought and fought myself. My husband laughed at me because I asked for a crockpot for Christmas instead of the Kindle. Then of course after I wanted one. I researched to no other. I should of just asked for it for Christmas. It is amazing and I don't leave the house without it!!!

I never leave the house without a book :) I keep thinking would it save me money or make me just spend more money on books..I think that is the big question. I do buy a lot of books..

When I do decide to get one..I have to decide between the different kinds..so if I do get one it´ll take a while! :)

Well I´m pretty sure that our libraries aren´t very well stocked with e books, at least yet. There´s not many e readers to buy from stores even so. But I´m sure it´ll catch up in here as well at some point. I sometimes see someone with one in the bus.

I think Kindles are very good for what they are, but do make sure that if you are not in USA that your library would support Kindle books. I know that here in Quebec (maybe in Canada) they do not, which is why a lot of us own Kobos which publishes in epub format.

I found it confusing and aggravating that the overdrive library program doesn't offer MOBI format and/or kindles can't read EPUBS. I discovered that problem after getting a kindle and accessing my city's online library.

10/49

No Time To Run

I just have to say super proud of myself.. This is one of the only goals I'm ahead for 2012!!

Yay! I'm glad Sheena, it's nice to feel accomplished in something :)

Finally finished 11/49 The Hunger Games

I didn't have a ton of time to read so it took longer than I wanted but wow it was a great book.

12/49 Taken by the Cowboy

Rated 3/5

I felt like there should have been more excitement being a time travel. I wanted to know more of the ending. I might just being fussy but it felt very rushed..

Wow its been awhile!!

13/49 Ethereal

4/5 stars

I felt it was a great story and very well written.

14/49
[book:Catching Fire|6148028
4/5 stars

I couldn't give this five stars because it was slower moving than the first. I loved how I was able to relate to Katniss with all of the emotion detail given. I also was surprised by the theme of the game in this book, defiantly didn't see that coming..

15/49

Bound By Blood

3/5 stars

The overall read was good. Great plot with typical ending. I did rate the book lower because I felt the the "f " word was used when it didn't need it.

16/49

Ordinary Angels

3/5 stars

The book was good but a little slower than I hoped for. Zoe is not normal, she can see spirits. She also develops her talent with help from an angel. Her life spirals out of control but gets it all squared..

17/49

Fallen

5stars... loved it. Very intense..

18/49

Hot Six

3/5 stars.

I love that this series keeps me laughing but I had to rate it lower because it is becoming very repetitive. Series is best if broken up between other books. However, the endings make it so you have to keep reading.

19/49

Bound In Darkness

3/5 stars

Typical good guy bad guy plot. Good love story as well.

20/49. Tamara's Child 5 stars

Am amazing book about teenage pregnancy, adoption and how it effects everyone involved. This plot keeps ya on edge.

Almost half way....

21/49
Blood Tide
4/5 stars

This was not what I expected. I was more than half way through before the word vampire was even mention. Of course you know it will be there by the review.. lol. Trixie lives with her grandparents. Her grandmother can sense weather changes, evil, etc. This sense helps Trixie and her new found friends defeat the evil within. Their tow.. I really enjoyed the book because it was not a normal paranormal book.

22/49
Awake: A Fairytale
3 stars

The plot was very drawn out for my liking.

23/49
Wild Irish
4 stars

I loved this book. What an amazing love story with true trials that couples go through. I gave four stars because there was a ton of love scenes.

24/49. Half way!!
Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening
5 stars.

My garden do so swell last year so I am determined to have one this year. So I came across this book while researching. Holy cow it is amazing. Who knew carrots loved onions. It is a full guide to everything a gardener will need from preparing your soil, to pest control, and high yields. Well worth the money to purchase this just to have on hand.

25/49
Dead Reckoning
5 stars
This is areread for me but still enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Can't wait. To read the new one.

26/49
Werewolf Love Story

That's too bad. It looks very good. Well at least you did still liked it.

27/49
The Lucky One
4 stars.

This is the first book of his I have read. I really enjoyed it and I couldn't put it down. The story line was relatable to real life and had its twists. Would recommend.

I think I've only read The Choice by him and it's really good.

28/49
Mockingjay
5 stars

Loved it. I think I might actually buy the series. The e ding wasn't as expected but wow..

Yay! Finally someone who likes the ending.

I wanted the other one but I knew the love was pure with the keeper!! :)

Me too! Towards the end I thought she wasn't going to pick anyone actually. But I always wanted the other one until the end.

29/49
Torment
4 stars

It was an average book. I feel for Luce being so young and having the huge responsibility of know/searching for her past life's. Along with the struggle of having to stay safe, adjusting to a new school, and always wondering if Daniel is her true love.

30/49. Yay me!!! Didn't think I would get this far..
Seven Up
5 stars

The humor is great in this book. I love Stephanie with her bounty hunting skills and confusing love life.
