Diane Will (inver) | 49 comments Some good titles there...have read The Secret Life of Bees, good read, hope you enjoy it...and good luck with the challenge

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) So I am behind in this challenge already! The two books I have read I enjoyed - although I preferred A Patchwork Marriage to The Legacy. However, the next two books I have picked up I have quickly put back down again as they haven't caught my attention at all. They are Dodger by Terry Pratchett and The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry. I am hoping to get back to them at some point this year...Hopefully the next book from this list that I attempt I will actually enjoy!

Diane Will (inver) | 49 comments I'm one book behind Katie...I haven't managed to get the full amount yet either.


message 9: by Katie (new)

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) I am really behind in this challenge! Only three books read (I have read 22 books this year, just not many off this list!) The third book I finished was The Fountain by Mary Nichols. I won't say much, just that I didn't enjoy it much.

I hope you'll be able to put on a burst of speed for the rest of the year!


message 11: by Diane (new)

Diane Will (inver) | 49 comments I'm way behind too Katie...3 behind on this challenge.


message 12: by Katie (new)

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) I have read another off this list, yay! I have finished The Glassblower of Murano. It wasn't what I expected and not the best book I have read this year, but I did enjoy it.

So that is 4 down, 20 to go...and I have my second child in 12 weeks...this challenge may not be finished!


message 13: by Diane (new)

Diane Will (inver) | 49 comments You will have the perfect excuse not to finish it... lol.


message 14: by Katie (new)

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) I have now read 6 books from this list! The last two that I have read are:

Sea by Heidi R. Kling

One Moment, One Morning by Sarah Rayner

Very different books, although death seems to feature a lot in both of them. I enjoyed them both, rated them both 3 out of 5.


message 15: by Diane (new)

Diane Will (inver) | 49 comments I have (have had) on my shelf One Moment One Morning...as yet not read.


message 16: by Katie (new)

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) Another book read: A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks


message 17: by Katie (new)

Katie Leversuch (katieleversuch) Woohoo, another book read!

Anita Shreve: Body Surfing

Again, another book I didn't really enjoy. Only rating this one 2 out of 5
