Re: Book Club Monday

  • My favorites from this year were Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. My least favorite was Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. I didn't make my goal :( I read 49/60. Two years in a row I didn't make it! :(:(:(

  • Unfortunately, I didn't get much reading for pleasure in this year.

    I can't remember if I read this this year or last, but I hated The Paris Wife...it was so boring that I didn't even finish it!

    I don't know that I have a favorite this year, but I just started Half the Sky by NY Times columnist Nick Kristoff...I'm really liking it so far. It's about giving women, particularly in 3rd world countries, the opportunity to educate themselves and change the world.

  • My favorite of the year was Between Shades of Grey my least favorite was Undef the Never Sky. I read 58 books this year. My goal was 50. I think my 2015 goal will be 75 books.

    I forgot about the one I didn't finish since I took it off GoodReads!!!

    The worst has to be Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling which is funny since she's Robert Galbraith writing The Cuckoo's Calling which was one of my favorites of the year.
