I need to rego through my pile as im sure i culled some i felt i would never read and gave them to the charity shop and i think some may have slipped into it during last years carboot season.
the ones i've crossed out were found new homes after i'd read them so at least im slowly thinning some out.
im going to aim to read at least 10 books this year hopefully more but other things get in the way and i want to rehome at least 1/2 of what i read so if i do buy anymore once carboot season starts at least they are not taking up more space.

I'm down to 25 books on my to read list, and that includes the books I got for Christmas and my birthday, so really pleased with myself.

I've found goodreads.com a Godsend for keeping track of what I've read, need to read and what I thought of the books I have read. I also like how you can order your to read list however you want so that you can work out what to read next.

Finished Soul Kissed by Courtney Cole, now starting Lost in Time by Melissa de la Cruz

Also going to attempt to post a full list of books tomorrow - be warned it will be massive.

Oh pink...we know you well enough by now!

Luckily, they tend to fairly quick reads...I'm always amazed at how many you get through.

Ok so here are my paperbacks/hardbacks. Not all are listed as some I can't get into and others I don't really plan on reading at all, they were given to me to review so I will probably swap those ones or give them away.

Thank you, I have listed almost a full bookcase, just the bottom shelf to go through it's doubled though so I'll need to pull the ones on front out. Then onto the other bookcase, and the top of my wardrobe..then my Kindle books. lol

Goodreads says I read 241 books last year!!

I have set my goodreads challenge for 2012 at 101 books. I'm hoping this will be possible now with my kindle and all the tree books I have to read plus the library

Has any one synced their kindle with their account on goodreads? Its something I have tried to do and think I have done right but not really sure how it works !

littlepinkstars44

I've never synced mine with Goodreads. Finally listed all my physical books - Kindle books here I come.

FannyAdams_2

I had no idea you could sync your kindle with goodreads?!! HOW??

I've downloaded tonnes of free books and I think I've bought 2 - i'm tracking my fails in my signature.

My problem seems to be that I suddenly develop a new interest (now it's making your own cosmetic/perfume) and suddenly I want to rerad everythign about it, I'll have to learn to stcik to online resourses and the library!
