Thanks for the encouragement to return to The Brothers K. I’m looking forward to it more than Les Mis, but frankly, neither one a whole lot just because they’re long and seem hard. ha. But I know the message in both will be so good if I can tough it out. (Doesn’t sound like pleasure reading, huh?)

I need to not get caught up on any time constraints from the reading challenges. It’s probably going to take me longer to read both those books than I planned for, but that will be totally okay. There’s no rush! Glad we found each other, Darlene.

Just found you today while browsing Roof Beam Readers Link up for the 2014 TBR challenge. I just wanted to encourage you to get back in to The Brothers K. It took me about 11 months on and off to finish that one but it is excellent.
I’m enjoying your blog. You can take a looky at mine at lostinliterature108.wordpress.com.
I’m a slow reader and blogger but I enjoy it. I’m finishing up a reading challenge I put myself on about three years ago. I hope to finish this spring and then get to my ever increasing To Be Read list. I am also doing the Roof Beam Reader challenge.
Glad to have found you!

I started a list years ago, but it’s gotten ridiculous. So I’m going to reduce it drastically this year–i.e. reading a few, but just deleting a lot more. I think getting so many free books on my Kindle has really made me realize it’s time to read what I really want to, instead of what’s readily available.

Finding time to read for pleasure when you have young kids is hard. I read a lot of juvenile fiction back in the day (and parenting books), but I enjoyed that too. Thankfully both my girls also loved books.

Let me know when you get your book published. How exciting for you!

12 from our piles (or lists) doesn’t sound like a lot over the course of a year, so I think that’s do-able. Let me know what you decide. I’ve chosen several that I’ve had on my list but could never find at my library. So I took the plunge yesterday and purchased a few with Christmas money I received. I’m excited for them to come in soon. Amazon is my friend. 🙂

I have books too that I haven’t started at all and so I want to either read them or get rid of them. I did that a few years back and made extra room on my shelves. It was nice to have the space (physically and mentally). So it’s time to do it again (except for what’s on my Kindle, ha–at least they’re not taking up space!).

Lists aren’t for everybody. I admit I can be a little OCD with mine. 😉 But they would drive my husband crazy. Enjoy The Placebo!

I used to have a “list” I went by, but since having a kid, I’ve learned to be more flexible and read as much as I can (when I can).

God bless as you endeavor to read all this. Reading is so much fun and a great way to learn and grow.

I’m planning on self publishing a Christian Fiction this year, I hope you’ll add it to your reading list! God bless.

But i like the idea of reading 12 from my book pile, which again has become unruly and fallen over, metaphorically speaking.

I am hoping to read more this year and you are a READING machine!
