Janelle (janelle5) Are you going to take up the challenge Brittie?

Betsy | 65 comments I could never do this but what a neat idea! Kudos to all of you avid readers! I do have a resolution to read both of Laura Hillenbrand's books this year, since she also has CFIDS and I've heard they're wonderful. There was a great article about her in the New York Times recently. To all those celebrating Christmas hope it's Merry, and here's to a New Year that sees all of us with improved health. Wouldn't that be great? :-)

I'm gonna try but I feel like it is going to stress me out.
I am hoping next year I won't have as many migraines and I can read more. Pretty much from April to June, I was out of commission.

I like the idea of some and I may read some books that I've been wanting to read for awhile but never had the push.

Janelle (janelle5) Good luck with it, Brittie. Hope 205 is a better year for you.


message 7: by Brittie (new)

Brittie (brittiereads) | 127 comments Thanks, I am probably going to double up like Gone with the Wind is a classic romance, a movie, over 500 pages.

I hope 2015 is better for everyone!

I'm up for this challenge. I wrote down the list and then went through my extensive library to fulfil the challenge. Where do we post our reads? Here?


message 9: by Brittie (new)

Brittie (brittiereads) | 127 comments Sure!

Kerry | 26 comments Hi Brittie
Good luck if you tackle this challenge it's rather daunting. Maybe making your own challenge might be less stressful. Then you could make it to fit your own needs & books you'd like to read. Plus you don't have to set a time limit, which would make it less stressful.
