CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Which two children's authors, besides Rowling, have sold the most books? That would be R.L. Stine and Dr. Seuss, who have sold 400 million and 500 million books worldwide, respectively.

Do you know who is the best-selling fiction writer of all time? Head on over to the Book Trivia Poll to take a guess.

What is everyone reading this week? I have some pretty lofty goals this week. They include finishing Doctor Who: 365 Days of Memorable Moments and Impossible Things, Charlotte Bronte: A Fiery Heart, Star Wars: Life Debt, and the seven graphic novels I have lying around. I doubt I will get to them all but I'm going to try!

Have you ever made crazy reading goals for yourself? Did you succeed?

I'm on one of my Abbi Glines kicks again... I super love her romance stories - I needed some more adult material in my life recently - YA was starting to get annoying - so I have recently read three of Abbi's books this past week and have two more to start :)

I picked up the Chronicles of Harris Burdick to go along with my Mysteries of Harris Burdick

I read Any Minute Now by Eric Van Lustbader, and am now reading Die Like an Eagle by Donna Andrews. After I finish The Last Jews in Berlin, I think I'll add When Books Went to War by Molly Guptill Manning (on sale for 2.99 on B&N) as my nonfiction book to read.

I used to be able to read the entire Lord of the Rings in a weekend. I've also been known to binge reread an entire series: Mercedes Lackey, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, Laurie R. King... :)

Now I really have a strong desire to binge read Lord of the Rings. I've been remiss and haven't done my yearly reread of it. Maybe that will be my holiday weekend goal...

I haven't binge read the books in a while, but I do frequently binge the DVDs (the extended versions with all the lovely extras), have them on as background noise while cleaning my apartment. Visiting New Zealand (heck moving to New Zealand) is high on my bucket list. :)
