This is the first year I've really tracked my reading vs. purchases so I'm sure it isn't at all representative of what I normally do but I actually read more books than I bought this year! Not including school books because those shouldn't count against me :pJen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190007840481900873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28504156.post-28842806552406643892013-12-29T19:15:00.660-05:002013-12-29T19:15:00.660-05:00Oh wow, yet another reading challenge.

Will bookmark the page and keep an eye on it. <br /><br />Thanks to you, I'm getting rather hooked on them. I completed five different ones this year (not counting hopefully completing a triple Cannonball and two Read-a-thons), and am planning on even more for next year. I now need to put a little bit more thought into my reading. :)Malinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343500310968022313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28504156.post-13754072731855771832013-12-29T07:09:49.541-05:002013-12-29T07:09:49.541-05:00I'd love to!

I actually found this reading challenge (http://booksandmovies.colvilleblogger.com/2013/12/03/announcing-the-2014-ive-always-meant-to-read-that-book-challenge-and-vote-for-the-challenge-titles/ ) , and depending on which books get chosen for each month, I might participate in one or two of the months - The Moonstone was one of the options, and it looks like it got a few votes so we could also participate in that if you'd like.Jen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190007840481900873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28504156.post-72346680937017438072013-12-28T19:50:56.693-05:002013-12-28T19:50:56.693-05:00I read The Woman in White way back in the dawns of...I read <i>The Woman in White</i> way back in the dawns of time when I had more time for long Victorian novels. I really enjoyed it, as I can recall. If you're planning to read <i>The Moonstone</i> sometime next year, I may join you. We can have a "classic novel" book club online, or something of the sort. <br /><br />Depends though. <i>Wives and Daughters</i> may be enough classical lit for me for at least the first six months of 2014.Malinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343500310968022313noreply@blogger.com
