Thanks Mickey...I'm pretty sure I've read them many years ago, but I'd love to re-read them. Amazon has them for $6.58 on the kindle, all except the last one, and that's not available on kindle.

I used to love her books:)

Gerald | 19 comments Well, I must "confess my sins." After finishing my last library book (except for those on CD I listen to in my car), I began one from my TBR, i.e., Beirut Diary: A Husband Held Hostage and a Wife Determined to Set Him Free by Sis Levin. Later today I went to the library to return my hardback and to check out a new book on CD. I said I'd just take a quick look down the asile of current fiction and would not check any out with the single exception of the new Stay Close by Harlan Coben Stay Close by Harlan Coben Harlan Coben. I had been looking for it for several weeks with no luck, but sure enough there it was today. My sin was that I checked it out. However, I am still reading Beirut Diary: A Husband Held Hostage and a Wife Determined to Set Him Free. I am reading alternating chapters of each book. I promise I won't check out any more after this one at least til June. Besides May has not started as yet.

Lynxie | 715 comments It feels a little bit like 'quick I'll just add this one to my TBR list before May' hehe It feels a little naughty :)

I so didn't add another 5 or so new books to the end of my TBR list over the last week, nope, wasn't me! *looks innocently about*

Haha Lynxie � That is a massive amount of books on your TBR. Don’t add any more�.you need to read read read :)

How many books do you think you’ll get though this month?


message 59: by Lynxie (last edited Apr 29, 2012 05:47PM) (new)

Lynxie | 715 comments Hmm... I know, I know - it's like a drug tho! Must add more to the TBR list, watch it grow! Soon it'll have it's own area code!

I don't know how many I'll get through this month, I'm trying to get the first chapter of my new story done as well as read all the indie authors at the start of my TBR list and offer reviews.

I would be happy with 15, more than that would be awesome!

Having said that though, I am not sure if it's achievable or not. We'll have to see :D

How about you?


message 60: by Mish (new)

Mish | 3586 comments Wow! 15 Lynxie�. that would be a pretty good chunk off the TBR.

I average about 5 books a month but I’m hoping to read more. We’ll see how we go :)

Hey Lynxie, I'm with Mish...no more adding, just READ!!!! Good luck with your 15...see how you go!

message 63: by Lynxie (new)

Lynxie | 715 comments @Mish - good luck with your reading this month!

Hehe - Thanks Brenda! I'll try and curb my habbit for the month :D


message 64: by Mish (new)

Mish | 3586 comments You too Lynxie....good luck and happy reading :)


message 65: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm going to be cheeky, lots of indie short stories for me, and hopefully an indie novel that I've been wanting to read since I downloaded it the other day. Now, if I've only just started a book, can it still be part of the May list?

Set myself a challenge to slowwwwly read & savour Candice James's book of sonnets, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Bugger!!..how do you do the damn links!!!


message 71: by [deleted user] (new)

That link worked.


message 72: by [deleted user] (new)

The trouble with Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is that there are too many good books to read. It's impossible not to continually add to the to-read list!

Oooh!! I'll check it out! Thanks Mish. I will start a new one later today, as I finished the one I was reading last night, and a review will be up soon:)

message 83: by Trina (new)

Trina (trina88) | 263 comments I started Fifty Shades of Grey day before yesterday, so I'm counting it for when I finish. I'm also part way through (still) Cosmos by Carl Sagan so if I finish that, it'll count too. Thinking about starting a new one, but I can't decide which!

I'll be starting Fifty Shades of Grey next Trina - tad nervous about this. How is it going so far?


message 86: by Trina (new)

Trina (trina88) | 263 comments Brenda; about 100 on my list.

Mish; I like it so far, a simple read. I haven't hit the really intense part yet, still in the early stages of the novel. I'm glad to see I won't be the only one here reading it, although a lot of people I know (including people I didn't think read often) are reading it. My aunt actually commented on my facebook goodreads update saying she's reading it too! That was only a little bit awkward.

Thanks Trina for the feedback. No…you’re not alone on this one. I’ll be starting it soon.

But you’re so right about the hype. I went to pick up my daughter after school one day. I approached a group of mums who were gathered around taking this book and how excited they are to get their hands on it…can’t wait to read it etc (including non reader). I was amazed. Lol

You'll have to let me know what you think about it. I'm maybe half way through and I have differing opinions about it.

I have 2 down now, Frantic and The Darkest Hour both by Katherine Howell :)


message 98: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll be a late starter (have to release my own book in coming fortnight), but I'll catch up later in the month. Hoping this will be a monthly challenge!


message 99: by Trina (new)

Trina (trina88) | 263 comments Finished my first: Fifty Shades of Grey. Review here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I had quite a lot to say about this book. Mish, I know you're reading this too, my review has some spoilers in it, so probably don't read it until you're finished! I look forward to your thoughts on it too.
