working on 17 this weekend

Just completed a book from my Need to Read First TBR - Little Lady, Big Apple by Hester Browne. I was incredibly disappointed in this book! When I read the first book several years ago, I enjoyed the main character. In this book, I found her to be provincial and rather submissive. Not worth reading and I won't be finishing the series. 2 stars

Boo! I'm sorry. That's happened to me before and it does always spoil the series, even if you do decide to go on with it.

I have now read 3/12

Just completed a book from my PB Library TBR - The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. First let me say that I admire Helen Keller a great deal, and she was an amazing woman who overcame incredible odds. That being said, I didn't really like her autobiography. She was 22 when she wrote it, and her lack of life experience shows. Worth reading once. 3 stars

10/20

I'd like to join with 15! I have a ton, so I need to finish at least halfway!

3. Mrs. Queen Takes the Train

Update post 118:

Sharp Objects added April 19 2015

Read: 7/10

Here are my 15 goal books
1. The Rapture of Canaan (completed)
2. City of Thieves (completed)
3. Lincoln's Grave Robbers (completed)
4. The Firm (completed)
5. Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life
6. Invisible Monsters
7. Sky Jumpers
8. Love in the Time of Cholera
9. Cold Mountain
10. The Secret Speech
11. Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
12. The Invention of Wings
13. Found
14. Success For Teens: Real Teens Talk About Using The Slight Edge
15. Anna Karenina (my main summer read)

I don't know if I'll be able to complete it all by the end of May (that's when I'm off for vacation and I won't be able to bring all these books! :P) but I'll try. I need to!

Just finished Martha Stewart's How to Decorate and Martin Wood's Sister Parish: American Style. That's 2. I'm reading three others and will finish two more before May's end. I'm taking notes as I go through one of them so it's a bit slow.

Clear the Shelves should be an ongoing challenge we can join any time of the year. I'm probably in a more Clear the Shelves mindset in October when I'm pushing to hit my yearly goal. I try to hit my challenge number in early December. Then I start a couple of gargantuan books that I won't finish until January. That gets me off to a great start at the beginning of the year. I love that we're doing this!

Finished reading the second book in the Hannibal Lector series, The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

My goal is now 2/3

Completed 1/7

I find it difficult to rate this book, though I liked a lot of it. It's a kind of book you read in bits, digest and go back to.

(message #35)

Please sign me up for 5 books. I've already read one of them.

My goal for this year was to read more books that I already own, rather than buying new ones. Needless to say, I'm failing miserably. I have been on trips to London and Porto this month, and have bought books on both trips. I'd like to personalise this challenge by reading those books this quarter. That way, they won't end up forgotten on my shelves.

Below is a list of the books I've bought, in the order in which I've bought them. I've already finished one of them, but I've bought AND read it in London two weeks ago, so imho it counts.

The Secrets We Keep - Jonathan Harvey
The Bafut Beagles - Gerald Durrell
The Drunken Forest - Gerald Durrell
Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
The Miniaturist - Jessie Burton

updated message 3 => finished 23 books :-)

Updated message 63. I've read 10, but would like to up my goal to 18 (six of each type) so I'd be 10/18.

update:
