working on it- but daunting- there’s a lot of books and not a lot of time…
People doing this are also doing these things:
Entries
gurer is waiting for afflatus to come and find her
i have a big pile
so sad i cant show it, read my entry on taking more photos-
the problem is that the pile is getting bigger,
and i cant sop myself from adding more
and i cant really read them all.
help me
Angelique is watching Rent
I keep on buying books at Goodwill for $1 and I have yet to read most them, so I’m basically wasting my money.
I seem to be doing ok on this goal, but the problem is that I seem to be getting more books quite often, and I have a big stack of library books waiting for me, which should be read first as they have to eventually be returned…
Just finished The Year of Magical Thinking. Next month’s book is Water for Elephants.

I finished this goal in November so I’m checking it off. Of course the proble is Christmas just passed so I’ve got a brand new pile of unread books to contend with… Ohhh what a vicious cycle!
I only have one book left!!!! A biography on Jimmy Stewart that I’m really looking forward to reading. If only I could stop requesting books from the library long enough to sit down and read it!
I was reading The Island Walkers but then a friend lent me A Thousand Splendid Suns and told me I HAD to read it. So I started today and I’ve been crying and reading. It’s beautiful.
