Re: Book Club Monday - Yearly Recap
Happy last Monday of 2013!
1. What are you reading now? The Dream Thieves and totally loving it!
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? How many books did you actually read? My goal was 75, I will finish the year at 78 if I can muster enough energy to finish The Dream Thieves today or tomorrow.
3. What is you goal for 2014? I'm going to shoot for 50, but with a new baby, anything could happen...
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year? Best - The Rosie Project. Worst - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? The Fault In Our Stars
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? I didn't really have one...How many books did you actually read? Probably only like 5. BUT To be fair I literally read all day every day for work.
3. What is you goal for 2014? One book a month.
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year? Best was a re-read for me, it's Heaven is For Real.
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? Heaven is For Real.
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? How many books did you actually read? My goal was 40 books and I made my goal!! Yay!!
3. What is you goal for 2014? I think my goal will be 30 books. I was going strong at the beginning of the year but petered out towards the end so I am going to go for a smaller goal for 2014 and will reevaluate as the year goes on.
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year? Best is probably Gone Girl although there were others that I really liked too. Worst is a tie between Heart Shaped Box and Sara's Key.
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? The two that I have been recommending the most are Ready Player One and Divergent.
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? How many books did you actually read? 110, I read 97.
3. What is you goal for 2014? probably 60. I don't have as much time to read as I did last year.
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year? I loved Thoughtless, Hopeless, and Beautiful Disaster. Worst, The Postmistress and probably Barefoot.
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? Same as above. And the Divergent series.
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? How many books did you actually read? I didn't really have a goal. I considered it a minor victory that I read at least three things since I don't read nearly as much as I did when I was younger.
3. What is you goal for 2014? I at least want to do one book a month. If it's more, awesome. If I miss that goal, looks like I'm doubling up for a month.
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year? I finally finished the Hunger Games series, so I was very happy about that one. And I did enjoy what I read so far of Divergent, but I felt that I needed to restart and read from the beginning again. I had started it in the car on the way home from vacation and got easily distracted by my inlaws telling stories. I did attempt to read Dead Until Dark since it was available from the ebook selection at my library, but I felt like I had to force myself to finish it. I was a bit disappointed
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? I did talk one of the girls I work with into actually reading the Hunger Games series since she enjoyed the films. We'll see how that pans out since we usually have VERY differing tastes.
1. What are you reading now? Shadow Kissed - Richelle Mead and Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater
2. What was your 2013 reading goal? How many books did you actually read? 60 books, I read 57
3. What is you goal for 2014? 60 books again.
4. What were the best and worst books that you read this year?
Best - Hopeless - Collen Hover, Beautiful Distaster - Jamie McGuire, The Fever Series - Karen Moning, Vampire Acedemy Series - Richelle Mead, Black Dagger Brotherhood Series - JD Ward, Anything John Green, Gone Girl and Dark Places - Gillian Flynn.
Worse - The Rogue - Joe McGinniss and 50 shades Freed
5. What book from this year are you most likely to recommend to someone? All the ones I listed in the best list above.
