2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

20. a book at the bottom of your to read list
May 14 - May 20, 2015

Maybe your to read list was small before the challenge, but now, it's so HUGE. You don't know where to start, so the challenge will help you a little. Select a book from the bottom of your list, the one you added a long time ago, the one you're not fully interested in, or the one at the bottom of your pile of books. At the end of the week, there will be one less book to read... and obviously ten more. Good luck!


How to Create a Topic:
1. Create a topic in the appropriate folder using your book's author and title (Title by Author). Link your book with the "This topic is about" feature.

2. In the body of your post, comment about why you chose this book. Have you read it before? What are your expectations?

3. Feel free to use the thread as a way to update the group on your progress. Also, when you are finished reading, add a small review and your thoughts about the week's challenge.

4. Comment on everyone else's posts as well! Participation and group involvement will make this challenge so much fun!

**If you chose the same book as another group member for the same week, do not create a duplicate thread.**

has anyone read the Green Mile by Stephen King? I have seen the movie many times but never read the book or any stephen king books. wanted to get people's opinions

I read it years ago and liked it at this time. It's one of the last King's works I enjoyed.

I read it a while back. It's one of the few Stephen King books that I would recommend to non-horror fans. It's a good place to start if you've never read King before and aren't sure if you like his style.

I love how the topic is "bottom of to read pile" and yet I don't have anything I'd consider necessarily on the bottom. LOL! Just books I haven't been in the mood quite yet for. Luckily I still have some time to prepare and think on this one. :-)

And most of the books I have on my GR to-read list are recent--from when I was looking up steampunk books for another reader. LOL

I'm picking the third book Avoiding Temptationof a trilogy I started a while back, I didn't love it, so I haven't picked it up yet. I have it on my TBR because I have this need to finish series.

Brittney, I feel your pain! I wouldn't have bought the book or added it to my TBR in the first place if I didn't want to read it, right?

But some books I added years ago and just haven't been "in the mood" yet to read. I guess if I'm not "in the mood" for THAT long, then it's the bottom of the pile. So I chose one of those books for this week.

That's what I'm going to do for this topic just pick a book that's been sitting on my list for a long time that I just haven't been in the right mood for or that I've pushed other books that I want to read slightly more in front of it.

I don't have many books in my TBR and the bottom is just from June 2014. I included there The Blood of Olympus before it was published and now I am very excited to have an excuse to finally read it :D

Haha Silvia, you're lucky, my TBR is big and for each read books I add 10 new. It's the never ending reading list.
Have fun with your book :)
