^ that should be 'best of'....

If you want ideas from some of the best of this year, here's a round-up of more than a dozen 'best is' lists: http://www.literatureandleisure.com/2...

Done! I finished Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest this morning & that was my last one. It also was my 100th book of the year - a feat I've never before accomplished. Yay!

Is there a way to make the title of the thread what it is rather than having a list of threads that are all titled 'Description and Suggestions '? The way it is set up now, you have to open up each one to know what it's about.

I graduated in '95 & '97. My uncle is Coach Dye. That's him with my mom, me & Harper Lee in my profile pic.

And, War Eagle, Amanda!

Merry Christmas from a warm but soggy Georgia!

I read this one, too, for the book from my childhood. A wonderful story!

I count them button my blog I also delineate between books I read vs books I listened to.

I have just one left! (Actually, I'm still finishing the trilogy, too...) Very exciting to be this close with more than a month left. Also, this year I've hit a record for the number of books read. I should finish the year at around 95 - amazing for me!

Here's my list!

Yay! Very excited!

I'm two away from finishing this year's challenge. And, this year I'll finish 90+ books - a record for me. The challenge has helped stretch me to read selections I may not have otherwise.

Who else is getting really excited to see the list?!

I just ordered a graphic novel & found a play to hit those categories. I'm going to have to lie about the book I was supposed to read in high school, because I read everything I should have.

Death
Own state/country
Trip
Name in title

Own but never read
Published this year
Book from the year born

3, 4, 6, 11 (add myth), 16, 24, 25, 26, 34, 35, 37, 72, 77

I love these. I may actually create my own challenge or at least refer back to this list & sub out any categories I don't love that do get chosen.

Thanks!

I want a like button for your comments!

It is so exciting to see so many challenging themselves, reading more books than usual, being well ahead of the 50% mark! For me, that's what these challenges are about- stretch goals!

Way to go, everyone!

I have a page for it on my blog link: here.
