I'm ashamed to admit that I don't think I have actually read a book this year... So for that, I'm going to punish myself and start this challenge over!! Along with the other challenges I find dotted around this place ;-)

So, my list so far:

NONE! :(

Michael Cargill (michaelcargill) | 82 comments That is... that is shocking. I'm speechless.

And from a GR group mod, too.

I call for a vote of no confidence.

Not just the mod, I created this group back in the day... I'm very, very sorry! Be glad I left you in the safe hands of Liz and Em!! (And Ian, though I don't believe we've met yet..!)

Never apologize Zoe, sign of weakness in a creator.

Haha, well... in which case I take it back. I'm not sorry, but I regretfully admit that I haven't been around much the past few years, but it was for the benefit of you all... better? :)

Nikks | 525 comments Zoe - are you planning to populate this a-z? Does it have to be by author ? Sounds fun. It's so great to look back on all the books you read and lives you lived for 200+ pages.

Yep! The aim is to try and discover new authors, so I'll read a book by authors with surnames beginning with the listed letters and add them here as I go :)

We also have some other challenges around, like the monthly genre challenge, USA in 51 books, Around the world in 80 days and UK counties!

:D

Nikks | 525 comments Sounds like a fun challenge. I think i would like to try it too - seems like a good way to read some new stuff. I have never done a book challenge.

Nikks - at the start of each year you can also set yourself an annual Good Reads target of number of books to read.


message 11: by Zoe, UK Book Club Founder (new)

Zoe (zobo77) | 481 comments Mod
Yep and there's that too! But mine's gone a little funky at the mo and is counting a book I read in 2011!


message 12: by Nikks (new)

Nikks | 525 comments Ian - is that a challenge on the good reads website ? I must admit that since I found this group, I haven't even bothered with the rest of the good reads website. I like it here but Maybe I am missing out & should go for a look around.

Yes Nikks - it should be on your home page I think.

I just finished reading Veiled Eyes by C.L. Bevill. Considering it was a free eBook, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it (I usually struggle with eBooks, maybe I'm getting used to them!)

Another free ebook, Swallow by Tonya Plank. It was good :)

Zoe (zobo77) | 481 comments Mod
And once again, another free ebook :P Peter Jaggs - Bonking Billy's Thailand Diary

What an amusing book title :-) Hope you enjoyed it x

It was actually quite enjoyable! It was quite short but not a bad story! :-)
