Mount TBR 2015 discussion

With over 200 books in my TBR-pile I really need to put on my hicking boots and get to it. 60 books in a year, this is 5 books a month. Yes! I belive I can do this!

My Mt. Kilamanjaro TBR : http://bachsbooks.blogspot.dk/2014/11...

Yes, you can!

All the best, of course you can!

Books read in january:

1. Melina Marchetta - Jellicoe Road.
Loved this book. Very cahtcing story.
2. Deanna Raybourne - City of Jasmine
The narrather of the audiobook, really ruined this book for me.
3. John Green - Papertowns.
Nice book, but didn´t meet my expectations.
4. Liz Kessler - Has anyone seen Jessica Jenkins?
This book unfortunately wasen´t for me at all. I expected magic and wimsical. It didn´t even come close.
5. Matthew Quick - Forgive me Leonrad Peacock.
I had big touble connecting to the protagonist and I did not like the writtingstyle at all.
6. Dodie Smith - I Capture the Castle.
Loved the first half of this book. Then I just lost interest.

Books read up til now in february:

7. Coutney Summers - Cracked up to be.
Very nice story, but it had something missing in the plotline.
8. Paula Stokes - The Art of Lainey.
Sweet an entertaining story.
9. Kasie West - On the Fence.
10. Kasie West - The Distance between us.
Loved both of Kasie West´s romance books. She write very likeable caracters.
11. Simone Elkeles - Rules of Attraction.
12. Simone Elkeles - Perfect Chemistry.
These two books wasen´t for me. I thought the protagonists diffrences where to exaggerated.
13. Kristin Walker - A Match made in High School
Sweet, different and surprising story.

Yes! 14 books! So fare I´m killing it :)

Oh both Papertowns and Forgive Me Leonard Peacock are on my TBR. How did you like them?

"Papertowns" was an okay book. Although I was a bit disapointed, but maybe my expectations were too high after reading and liking "TFIOS" so much . Unfortunately I couldn´t relate to "Leonard Peacock" at all, and I really didn´t like the writing style. But it was still an interesting read.

I do apologise for my written English. It´s a bit rusty.

No apologies needed! Thanks for the feedback. I have them both as audiobooks, which can sometimes help make YA books better than their writing so I won't discard Leonard Peacock without a try but won't be disappointed if it is not for me.

An audiobook can really put a different spin to a book when done in the right way. I´m a huge fan of audiobooks.

...the only thing that makes ironing bearable! I must say though that I get much less involved with the characters when I only have the audiobook.

Yes, I have noticed that too. I think it is because I don't give it 100% of my attention as I do with print.

I often lose focus if there´s to many names and caracters to keep track of. And a good narrator is so importent.
I would recomend you both to try Andy Weir´s "The Martian" on audio if you haven´t already. It is phenomenal. Best audiobook Í´ve ever listend to!

14. Scott Westerfeld - Afterworlds.
Very disappointing and boring book.

15.Claire LaZebnik - The Last Best Kiss.
Very sweet modern retelling of Jane Austens Persuasion.

Look at you...just chugging along...keep it going!

Thank You! Yes, things are going very well rigt now. I will definitely try to keep it up :)

19 books down 41 to go :)

16. Carolyn Keene - The Secret og the old Clock.
17. - // - - The Hidden Staircase.
18. - // - - The Bungalow Mystery.
19. - // - - The Mystery of Lilac Inn.

All four, very sweet and cozy mysterybooks.

Sådan! :) Du klarer det da også fint

Ja, men det synes, som om jeg bare har lyst til, at læse alt mulig andet end lige de bøger på den liste ;)

20. Kai Meyer - Dark Refletions. (888 pages!)
Fantastic fantasy trilogy. Dark and enchanting at the same time. Five stars, loved it!

21. Stephanie Perkins - Isla and the Happily Ever After. Did not enjoy this book. Quite boring and a bit redundant.

22. Johanna Spyri - Heidi. Nice and cozy, but not quite as good as i remember from my childhood.

23. John Corey Whaley - Where Things come back. Did not get this story at all.

24. Brian Selznick - Wonderstruck. Five stars!
25. Lois Lowry - The Giver. Five stars!
26. Meg Rosoff - Just in Case. To stars.
27. Miranda Kenneally - Breath Annie, Breath. Four stars.

Almost half-way done!

28. Jesse Andrews - Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Not my of kind book.

29. Lois Lowry - Number the Stars. very nice Three stars.
30. Morgan Matson - Second Chance Summer. This one cost me some tears. Four Stars.
