I returned to The Count of Monte Cristo this year, so that put me behind a bit. I'm hoping to catch up this month, too! Good luck to both of us!! :)Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-57419244622787355442012-05-01T20:36:53.962-06:002012-05-01T20:36:53.962-06:00365andMe ...

I reviewed it years ago, but I was trying to get more of a discussion going around it more than actually reviewing it. I didn't feel comfortable with a traditional review at all!<br /><br />I did go earlier to the book sale! I went to the library one on Thursday afternoon and the big book fair on Friday night. I probably could have went to both a second time and still left with stacks of books! What kind of goodies did you get?Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-6198684893659135662012-05-01T20:33:36.293-06:002012-05-01T20:33:36.293-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-89900065941956962592012-05-01T20:31:52.260-06:002012-05-01T20:31:52.260-06:00Laura @ The Shabby Rabbit ...

Now I need to go through my books to see if I do! <br /><br />So glad I am not alone in my goodreads challenge! I finally finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo this year, so that is where I got behind. Totally worth it though!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-40390178634150489892012-05-01T19:50:39.294-06:002012-05-01T19:50:39.294-06:00Awesome books!

I read it last year but am still not sure if I want to review it. <br /><br />I went to the same used book fair, but I didn't go until the last half price day. Did you go earlier?

It's the reason I was thrilled about the writing challenge. The one thing, no matter how small, is working well for me. I'm working on building that daily writing habit even though it's a slow process. <br /><br />Speaking of which, you are getting lots accomplished! Way to go!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-6668795847177571982012-05-01T05:55:57.690-06:002012-05-01T05:55:57.690-06:00Wow! Amazing book haul!!

The Other Boleyn Girl and the Wrinkle in Time books really caught my eye! <br /> <br />I picked up an old-ish Winnie the Pooh book and a copy of A Children's Garden of Verses with some wonderful illustration plates in it!<br /> <br />My goodreads says I'm 5 books behind too, but I'm doing a chunkster challenge so I sorta knew some of these would go slower. Although my goal and a book tally are nowhere near your levels! :)Laura @ The Shabby Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291628284456195419noreply@blogger.com
