mlarmaladeNot So Great

I’m way behind on reading right now…I have a book that’s about a month overdue from the library, two that my boyfriend lent me, and three that my mom’s boss wants me to read. It’s kind of a nightmare. 2 months ago


SJNew Shelf

This is my new “unread” shelf. I got a huge one and combine all the unread fiction and non-fiction, along with a few that I intend to re-read in the near future.

The “read” stuff is kind of all over the place, in huge stacks and in the windowsills and whatnot. Haven’t quite figured out what to do with those just yet. Thinking of making some kind of decorative or functional arrangement. 2 months ago

Daffer_KentI keep buying more books

This week I got a copy of Mindstore to read.

I love self-help books. There, I said it. Is it just me?

When I found my dad’s tattered copy of Norman Vincent Peale’s (gets up off sofa to check title) “The Power of Positive Thinking”, I get this from somewhere.

My dad was Mister Self-Improvement when he was positive. He joined Toastmasters in his seventies and got a computer. I miss him. 2 months ago


FroggileeBack up to 206 ! Not good!

Need to back off buying and then reading books from the library so often. In my defense, a couple of the new books were early birthday gifts. 3 months ago

I read many books during 2012, eventhough I know that I was able to read even more, I’ll try to do much better during 2013 ;)
Right now I’m reading a book of “Théophile Gautier” that contains many of his stories, I’m old fashioned I know but I like old books 4 months ago


Eliza Marie2013

2012: okay so I haven’t really kept this very well. I have bought new books and I have read more on my kindle than on my books needing to be read. I am not sure which books I have left that I haven’t even read.

THINGS I NEED TO DO THIS YEAR
1. Make a new list of books that I own but have not read
2. If I am reading anything, it must be something already own
3. Pick up a new book each month (so at the very least I will have read 12 books in 2013 of books that I own but have not read) 4 months ago

Alaska_girlSituation Resolved

I’ve decided this goal isn’t high-priority for me right now. Most of the books I own are on the Kindle. I used to worry that I had too many books on the Kindle but after much thought, I’ve accepted it as okay. It’s difficult to get English language material here in Ukraine so the Kindle is now like my public library. No one ever complains that the public library has too many books! :p

The only actual books I own are language textbooks. I’d like to get rid of the ones I use for study, because I’d rather have that knowledge in my head than in a book. I’m working through them, but it’s slow-going. The reference books I use for teaching and they’re invaluable, so got to hang on to those.

To sum it up, I’m satisfied about this situation for the time being, and want to move this goal off the “to-do” list. 6 months ago

Sourcery – Terry Pratchett
Mort – Terry Pratchett
Eleven on top – Janet Evanovich

Found time to get some more books read.

I gave up on Moby Dick though. The beginning was fun but then it became terribly boring and technical 8 months ago
