That is 9 in all the least for some months ,I m not a winter person and hate dark nights so have been reading less .
Challenges –
books for the year 119 want to read hundred but passed that a while ago hope to finsh with over 125 .
around the world in 52 books 20/52 one more from orginal list read .
Next month Novella reading first weekend and want to clear library pile that has built up .and finsh year reading 2666 .
Finishing the year with 2666 sounds like a great plan to me, Stu! Of course, I’m a little biased because I’m thinking about rereading it next year. In the meantime, #3, #4 and #6 on your list above are books I’d like to read myself one day. P.S. Do you find blogging influences your book selection or do you read whatever you want whenever you want regardless?
Sometimes Richard but on whole Ilike to find books that I ve not seen or heard about constantly try to find something new whether old or new just love hunting round library catalogue or bookshops for the different ,all the best stu
You still read quite a few books for reading less lately! Best of luck in December, and great plans 🙂
yes must admit the books this month where tough going ,all the best stu
Purge is excellent but VERY heart-rending. Almost too harrowing to read at times – or so I found.
yes very raw in places tom but it need to be or else it wouldn’t seem so real ,all the best stu
