According to Goodreads, I've already read 46 although this doesn't take into account the numerous re-reads I've done.<br />The other goals are to make a dent in my unread titles on my Sony Reader, to get rid of duplicates on my Sony Reader and also to organise my to-read list, my Goodreads shelves and my ereader 'shelves' in some kind of way that makes sense and makes it possible to find things.Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-70218077856981852922015-06-17T16:05:22.267+10:002015-06-17T16:05:22.267+10:00Stefanie!

Go you! I keep a record of books read -- so far this year I'm at 26. My book club widens my reading and it's through it that I read one of my fave books so far this year -- Gone Girl. Which in turn had me looking for more suspense and stumbling across Lisa Gardner's Crash and Burn which I liked even more. Oh, and I've just discovered Grace Burrowes -- A Single Kiss is a fabulous contemporary romance. Will be reading much more from her. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and I meant to say that I thought your YouTube channel brilliant!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-77996555797949671582015-06-15T11:25:03.336+10:002015-06-15T11:25:03.336+10:00Oh WOW- colour me impressed by your goals, your li...Oh WOW- colour me impressed by your goals, your lists and your reading- plus your amazing vlog!<br /><br />I belong to a book club and we have quite an eclectic mix of things that we share there. This year has been the year of Liane Moriarty for me. I have only just discovered her and LOVE her books, so I've glommed a few of hers. I've also just finished Jo Jo Moyes' One Plus One which was just lovely. Hmmm, I really should branch out a bit more....you've got me thinking....really should try something other than women's fiction....Louisa Georgehttp://www.louisageorge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-6926430847983945192015-06-15T11:18:41.170+10:002015-06-15T11:18:41.170+10:00Love that you've set reading gaols, Stefanie, ...Love that you've set reading gaols, Stefanie, and that you're killing them. And the video kills it (should I call this a vlog? I'm so behind the tech times, but loved this format.)<br /><br />I've also been reading more widely and you've inspired me to set goals and record reading notes because I'm now having to think hard about my favourite reads so far this year. It would be so much easier if I had reference materials. Hmmm. <br /><br />I really enjoyed Kristen Ashley's The Will. She's been hit-and-miss for me but this hero and mature relationship and the character cast really hit home for me. Even if the will trope is a bit…odd. <br /><br />Also reading an old-skool suspense series by CJ Box, set in Wyoming with the hero being a game warden and a good/nice bloke who kinda stumbles into these situations. Love the setting and the environmental/wildlife/living-off-the-grid themes although not for the squeamish. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-33126944008934753012015-06-15T11:16:40.768+10:002015-06-15T11:16:40.768+10:00I love your YouTube channel, Stefanie!

...I love your YouTube channel, Stefanie! Fabulous.<br /><br />I don't have anywhere near as much organised reading as that. And I tend to stick mostly to romance these days although I have just started Rob Lowe's second book about his life which is really good!<br /><br />I've actually read a lot of books this year thanks to my New Years resolution to read every night in bed. Not as many as I'd like to of course :-)<br /><br />I totally agree about the V-Spot. Loved that book! One of my favs this year has been Ainslie Paton's new Bliss King series - 2 down, 2 to go!
