Please update me on your progress in a comment on this post. I usually don't write the scoreboard post until Saturday, so as long as you check in by Friday I should have your most up-to-date score on the board. If you forget to check in one week, no worries! Just catch yourself up on the next week's check-in. If you just joined the challenge, welcome! Please feel free to include all books you've read since May 1 that were at least 200 pages long. You can review the full list of rules here. Good luck!
I'm right there with you. I'm stuck on a book for my opposite titles. It's depressing in a way that just weighs me down and bums me out rather than in a heartfelt, interesting way that keeps me going.
ReplyDeleteI have two books read for opposite titles but they don't pair up :-(
ReplyDeleteI've got a great line up of books, just that some of them are in storage and I haven't picked them up yet.
3 weeks left? yikes!

Finshed Scott Westerfield's "Pretties" for antonyms! About to start my random shelf book. :)
A 2nd book for this week!

25 points - Read a book about which you’ve heard bad things:
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - I heard this one was pretty dreary and depressing, and it's true! But I still liked it.

I'm at the halfway point - yay, me! I spent so much time looking for a trilogy that would hold my interest long enough. I kept disliking the first books of each series I'd picked, except the Ally Condie series (which I didn't realize wouldn't have book three published until the fall-oops). I'm sticking to the Shiver series, though I wasn't totally enamored with the first book. I liked the second better, though it was predictable. I finally got myself to the library and was able to do my shelfpick challenge...hope I have more luck with that, but at least it's only one book I'll need to get through. Having my kids home for the summer makes a challenge interesting for me, because I end up reading their books along with them and don't have so much time for me. I did buy a Kindle Touch and look forward to more reading opportunities for me when I head on vacation. Anyways, yay me (again) for making it to the halfway point. I'm a chronic project stater and not so much a finisher, so I'm proud to have achieved this so far--and I recruited one other reader to the challenge, so I'm proud of that too. Thanks for hosting this challenge and before I sign off, please update the link for me about the reading list that I'm completing--it's listed incorrectly above--thank you. =)

As far as points (an extra step for me and I'd omit it, but for YOU, I wanted to follow the rules to show my appreciation for the challenge): 95
ReplyDeleteI'm counting half-credit on the "opposites" and 2/3 credit on the trilogy--I've got to so I can be motivated to keep going. Anyways, it better reflects my true progress because those numbers also bring me up to the (not quite, but close enough) half-way point on the numbers too.
Whew!
I've updated your link to your GR. Sorry about that! And great progress. :)
DeleteThanks, Megan. I looked at our books in common and was surprised and delighted to see we had 73% similar tastes based on reviews.
ReplyDeleteThis week I only managed the book set in a place I want to visit: Jellicoe Road, for Australia, and one of my best reads of the year so far!
