Mount TBR 2013 Reading Challenge discussion

Will start with One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

Great one with which to start Michelle! My best to you in regard to the challenge and let's make sure to find some buddy reads :)

It's a deal!

It's nice to see you both here again!

Thanks :)

Started with a different book; first one down,

1. The Woman in White

Good book to start with :-).

Loved it. Another Collins read coming up for me - The Law and the Lady.

Yes, that's on my wishlist too.

Collins is awesome - I hope to read something else by him this year.

What happened with this one? I just reserved it at the library. I want to read with the 1001 Books club next month.

Jemidar: just started it, a great beginning so far.

Sera: I know. I was side tracked by holds coming in from the library and other group reads. I plan on starting it shortly for the 1001 read. Yay! You will be there too.

1. The Woman in White
2. She's Come Undone

Still reading: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Next will be The Once and Future King.

Making some progress :)

One of my all time favorites, Michelle! The beginning will be very familiar to you. T.H. White helped write the screen play for the Disney film.

I have it - I am hoping to get to it soon. Does it move quickly for a short read? Or, is it dense?

Hayes: oh good!

Sera: I'm finding it really dense. Slow progress for me. It's also so heartbreaking,that may be another reason I hesitate to pick it up.

1. The Woman in White
2. She's Come Undone
3. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

Next up is The Once and Future King

Only 20 more to go!

Hello! Just thought I'd pop in and say, "Hi!" I'm on the same climb as you now! :-)

Hey Tanya! I need to focus more on books I own. I keep getting books from the library... Happy to see you on the way up!

I had to take it back to the library so I didn't get to read Ivan. I am going to try again down the road. I could use a lighter read myself - ha ha ha.

Me too!!! I had the library issue too. What I get for reading two chunksters at once.

Listing my next 10 books to keep me on track and perhaps spur some buddy-reads :)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - buddy read with Sera
Love in the Time of Cholera
Child 44
Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life
The Birth of Venus
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
My Cousin Rachel
Death Comes for the Archbishop
The Sparrow
Children of God

4. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

5. The Sparrow finished. Might pick up the sequel for my next read.

I see you have Snow Flower on your list. I have read this one. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you Diane. I hope to get to it soon.

I'd like to knock Child 44 out considering that the trilogy has been completed and published and I've been sitting on the first book since its inception.

Let me know when you think that you might get to it. I am not sure that I can get to it until August. That's right, August!

Ok, I can go for August! Funny how we have to plan so far ahead :)

Ha ha ha - I know :)

6. Child 44, Yay!
Now on to Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Yay! Keep moving - you'll get it :)

Thanks Sera! It's helpful having you cheering me on :)

One more completed: 7. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

Thinking that My Cousin Rachel will be next.
