  • Can I join too?

    I really need to read all my books first before buying any more!!

    Here's my (mostly unread) collection:

    The Murder of Princess Diana - Noel Botham

    L.L xx :)

    Is that actually called the Assassination of Princess Diana ? If so, have just read it. Fabulous, really makes you think
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
  • Well I have just finished my first Agatha Raisin book, the Wizard of Evesham and am half way through the second, the Haunted House. It is not really my kind of book but it is very easy reading. I am rushing through them as I need to give them back to the lady who lent them to me but I have been loaned a copy of the Kite Runner which I really want to read (also have a Thousand Splendid Sons but a few people said to read the Kite Runner first).
    Just keep swimming!

    Welcome LuckyLouise! :wave:

    Happy new year as well. And happy new year to all of you who join us on the thread. :)

    May the worst problem we encounter in 2012 be to decide which book to choose next!

    I've just joined and what a fab idea. I have so many unread books yet I still buy more! Not this year, I have found 39 books in my living room that I have yet to read so bring on the challenge, no buying books until I have read them all!

    I've made a list on goodreads to keep track and I will start tonight with The Hunger Games...

    Welcome R2B! :wave: Pull up a chair and join enjoy The Hunger Games alongside the rest of us! This is a very civilised thread with lots of reading and occasional tea and cakes alongside to sustain us through our travails. We hope you enjoy. :)

    In other news, I have reset my challenge counter back to 0 for the new year, and I hope to read another 25 books this year. If I am REALLY good (or lucky), I want to top-up the 6 books from last year's challenge that I didn't qute get to read, so here goes for 2012!

    Best of luck, everyone! :T

    Hello all, I used to be quite active on here last year but I kind of gave up towards the end of the year.

    I have way too many books to list, I may get around to it eventually but I have over 300 paperbacks and over 1000 on my Kindle. I run a book blog so am constantly getting books from authors and publishers to review, plus I buy a lot as well.

    Last year I started up project 10 book on the book blogging and you tube community and I want to keep it going. I need to read 10 books before I can buy another one. I'm also going to list all the books I want to get through for the month as well.

    I see some talk of The Hunger Games, I read the series in 2010 and loved them! I cannot wait till the film comes out!
    Also if anyone wants to add me on Goodreads here is the link to my profile: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4783841-emma-bellebooks

    So for January I want to read:
    [STRIKE]Clockwork Prince - Cassandra Clare
    Stolen - Lauren Barnholdt
    Burn - Lauren Barnholdt[/STRIKE]
    [strike]Soul Kissed - Courtney Cole[/strike]
    Unleashed - Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie
    Unnatural Law - Natasha Larry
    Dearly Departed - Lia Habel
    Haunting Lila - Sarah Alderson
    Fated - Sarah Alderson
    Iboy - Kevin Brooks
    Fracture - Megan Miranda
    This is not Forgiveness - Celia Rees
    [strike]Lost in Time - Melissa de la Cruz[/strike]
    Delirium - Lauren Oliver
