75 Books...More or Less! discussion

My main goal is to read 75 books I've had since 2007 and earlier.

eta: My secondary goal is to read 24 mystery/suspense/thriller type books.

7/9/09: It doesn't look like I'm going to make my challenge, so I'm just trying for 75 books read.

Good luck - a wonderful goal! And I'm betting you can do it.

Thanks Kay. I need a way to figure out how to keep track of that here. I plan on listing all the books I read.

eta: I figured out how I'm going to keep track:

This was a good, but very heart-wrenching story. I'd recommend it but have some tissue near-by.

I have read it before. They are doing a film on it, so will be looking for the film and seeing what I think of it.

I tried this and didn't think much of it.

This was my first Picoult book and not what I would normally read. A co-worker loaned it to me and I was surprised by how much I liked it. I would read others, but my co-worker told me that all of her books are sad.

I thought it was cute for the most part. Since it was so little, I didn't set my expectations too high.

They aren't all sad. I've read them all. Keeping Faith is good and I don't recall it being sad. I loved all her books though. Most of them do end on happy notes, I think...maybe i should re-read them.
