Goal 30

#27 The World We Found by Thirty Umrigar

[pago]

Book 20

Kingdom Keepers 3 by Ridley Pearson

[Ashli]

Finished #38 - The Things We Cherished by Pam Jenoff

[Carousel96]

I was on a roll for a while, then fell off quite a bit. I suspect I've finished something since I last posted in July, but who knows. I know I haven't finished the previous two book group selections for church.
Anyway, good thing my goal was 25, as I just listed #23: Unbroken by Laura Hillebrand.
After that, plus trying to read Toobin's The Nine, and a book called The Mulligan, both of which were slogs, I need something really light and fluffy and fun.

#35 - Live by Night by Dennis Lehane

[Cam22]

I'm reading very slowly this year, but I finally finished The Angel's Game, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Anything Sophie Kinsella or Jennifer Crusie. I've read all of both their books and they're light and fun!

I might make my goal. I hope to finish The Kingmaker's Daughter by the weekend. Then I'll have to choose two 'easy reads' to get the last books in. I think I've got a few on my Kindle that will fill the bill.

How is everyone else doing on their goal?

I'm proud of myself. I reached and passed my goal for the year. I'm already starting to think about my goal for next year!

(I love Kingmaker's Daughter!)

I don't think I'm going to make my goal unless I pretty much do nothing but read between now and Dec 31, which isn't going to happen with Christmas coming up. But that's ok. I think all the vacations this year hurt my numbers. Oddly, I tend to read a lot more at home than on vacation - there are too many other tempations when I'm somewhere fun! I'll probably make it to at least 40 out of the 55 I originally aimed for.

Passed my goal also Been pretty slow at work so I can read some there.
Goal 48

World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler

I just might make mine. I forgot about a book I read in Sept in preparation for our trip to Canada (Uprooted Heather, the Story of the Selkirk Settlers by Wemyss Cavaick) so I only need to finish one more to hit my goal of 25.

I just started Paris to Die For by Maxine Kenneth -- apparently Jackie Bouvier had been offered a job in the early 1950's with the newly formed CIA. This story follows up on the "what it she'd taken it?" and has future-first-lady-Jackie working as a spy in Paris. It's not the best written book, but it's a fun and fairly mindless read, which is what I needed.

Goal 48

#64 Don't Tell by Karen Rose

[HiddenMickey]

#53 The Kingmaker's Daughter. By Phillipa Gregory (finished on Saturday)

#54 The Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer (YA dystiopian society book, first in a planned trilogy). Quite good.
