I'm starting my list by reading some of the shorter books....LOL!!! I need to catch up on the Outlander series....I'm still at An Echo in the Bone...but I really want to re-read them all to get to that point again....I LOVE HER!!! So many of your book choices I have on my alternate list of books I must read this year....I can't wait to get to them....

2 books down! I've also just finished Edge of Eternity, and I'm just starting the audio version of QB VII. I'm not sure what's going on in that book yet, but I'm sure I'll end up loving it!

QB is a gut-wrencher. There are a lot of similarities of that book and the book The ReaderThe Reader......It's one that makes you wonder how the world can get to the point of WWII and the atrocities committed....and the people committing them....and what would we do or be like when trying to put ourselves in their shoes.......

It is good so far. The family has just fled after he got his not guilty status and released from prison. This is pretty interesting, and I'm sure that it will be even more interesting and gut-wrenching.

This is on my list for this year! Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the brain cells left after I get home at night to get much reading done lately... :( I'll try to get caught up!

Oh Sonja, QB is really good right now. I'm probably 25% done. Wow.

I am thinking of trying Midvinterblod. I can get it for the nook in English. It's also available for Kindle too. That looks like the first book in the series. Engel Water looks like it's the 6th book, but I'm not sure.

I think you have to start with angel water ( first book)

I've read six from my list, and I'm currently reading a seventh. I doubt I'll make it this year, but I've had so much going on that I'm actually happy to say I've completed six. :)

I have finished 9 of 12. I've only read 16 total books though! Nowhere near the 45 I had set for my challenge! I am going to finish A Suitable Boy this year!!! It's been keeping me from reading other things, but I feel like the second half is picking up a little bit (either that, or I don't care anymore and am not paying as much attention...).

Jen (nekokitty) | 913 comments Mod
Sonja, I'll tackle A Suitable Boy with you! Where are you?
