Connie's challenge 2012

My Challenge for 2012 is 18 books.

Welcome! DO you have any special rules/aims for your challenge?

Yes, the books have to be on my shelves for longer than 2 years.
I tend to read books I'v just bought and since I buy more books than I read, some books end on the shelves and I forget about them.
This year I'v read more then 60 books, 12 of them were for the challenge of 2011

Good luck clearing your shelves this year Connie.

Thanks, Psi.

I am now reading Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. Thats a lot of pages to be read, 683, but I'm halfway now.

My first BOMBS exploded just 5 minutes ago.

Reading my second BOMBS: Een lied van Susannah van Stephen King

My second BOMBS exploded yesterday.
number 2 Een lied van Susannah by Stephen King
The third Bombs is next to me on the table, but it will have to wait until I finished 2 other books.
My surgery went well, but I will be home a few weeks, time enough for reading

I hope you have a good recovery, and will read some pleasant books in the meantime Connie!

Reading number 25: Heksen en Elfen by Kim Harrison

And i finished number 25!

Congratulations! I'm 3 behind you so I've got to stay the course.

Just hang in there, Clue!

Now reading number 26:

De hongerspelen by Suzanne Collins.This is book 1 of the Hungergames and it has been on my shelves since 2011 so it counts as a BOMBS book.

I've finished my number 26:

De hongerspelen by Suzanne Collins.

What a delightfull read it was. I really liked it very much, so i'm starting in number 2 this evening Vlammen and that will count as a BOMBS too.

Unlucky for me my book missed 14 pages, but I have lots of internetfriends and one of them provided me with a e-version so i could read on.

Finished number 27:

Vlammen by Suzanne Collins. I enjoyed this second part just as much as i enjoyed part 1. Luckily for me the last part was waiting for me on my shelves and can also be a BOMBS




now reading number 28: Spotgaai by Suzanne Collins

Finished number 28: Spotgaai by Suzanne Collins




I think I really did great. 10 books past my target
I really enjoyed this challenge so I will participate in the ROOTs challenge in 2013.

Ten books past your target is awesome! Congratulations on doing so well!

Thanks Bragan.

I've read 67 books this year, reading number 68. But 28 were counting as BOMBS.
