And sometimes, if I'm in the library, like yesterday, I'll get all these books that I've been wanting to read that all are miraculously in stock! Yesterday, I got Castle Waiting, Vol. 1, Tender Morsels, When Everything Changed and the next book for me in the Falco series. Glorious! Now I just have to READ them all in the next two weeks...Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-54963510525692125112011-05-11T22:42:24.818-03:002011-05-11T22:42:24.818-03:00I love making lists if for no other reason than to...I love making lists if for no other reason than to toss around all of the wonderful book options that I can make for myself!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-87999865333735185882011-05-11T19:37:34.453-03:002011-05-11T19:37:34.453-03:00You are doing an amazing job with this challenge! ...You are doing an amazing job with this challenge!

I think it makes me feel like a more organized person to make lists, but then I revert back to my normal self of choosing what I am goig to read based on the moment. <br /><br />Also, I feel like a really terrible fan. Your post was the first time that I heard that DWJ was dead. I think I have read everything that she has written. How could I not be in tune to this sort of thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-9085981394430765112011-05-11T00:38:34.385-03:002011-05-11T00:38:34.385-03:00I, too, am a list maker, and find myself reshuffli...I, too, am a list maker, and find myself reshuffling the order, adding and changing out...<br /><br />congrats on doing so well on your list. I am doing well on meeting my challenge goals, in spite of my not using the list I made to help me meet it. some of the books I've been waiting for have been coming in, and then the usual distractions... <br /><br />but your post has me thinking I will be sitting down with my original pool. There were some reads I know I really want to get to.<br /><br />~L (omphaloskepsis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
