I really enjoyed The Dark Queen by Susan Carroll Dec. 18 2006 but its a romance so you may not like it as much as I did.

Sleepers by lorenzo Carcaterra May 24 2006

I totally agree with Am on this one. I'm betting you will really enjoy it, from what I know of your taste in books. :)

Hi, Marlene. In tribe's thread, you said people could add their own lists here. Since I already have a Word doc with books from other BCers and the date I got them, I'll put it here.

* means one or both of my kids has read it, so at least those books haven't gone completely to waste.

One more note (September 2011) I went ahead and deleted the books I've finished instead of putting a slash through them. I think I'm finally on top of this (getting a Kindle and staying away from bookboxes and exchanges helped -- even though those used to be tons of fun!)

2005 (4 books)

Life, the Universe, and Everything (6/3/05)*
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (6/3/05)*
My 3 Lives (8/16/05)*
Eucalyptus (12/25/05)

2006 (2 books)

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (5/1/06)*
Going Inland (12/25/06)


2008 (1 book)

30,000 Mornings (6/27/08)*

2009 (3 books)

The Bourne Supremacy (2/7/09)*
The Changeling (4/30/09)
Modern Architecture Since 1900 (5/9/09)*

2010 (1 book)

On Wings of Song (5/6/10)*

2011 (4 books)

Vanity of Duluoz (4/5/11)*
In the Hands of God (7/2/11)
Sick Puppy (8/20/11)
Skinny Dip (8/20/11)

Yes I thought so myself. I totally have no clue what this book is about but I like it that way. I am planning to read Sleppers once I have finished Cane River.

Also going to read my first book In a Father's rage pretty soon. ?

Plus The Meg Cabot book. Boy Meets Girl. I have 3 books of this series. Read the first one Guy Next Door and really enjoying it.
Now I know the same people of book 1 will be in book 2. I think I did read Boy meet Girl or at least quite a lot.

Really want to set the 2005 books available.

The problem is, most of those are Jean Plaidy books. Because I read too many of them 2 years ago I really don't feel like reading them just yet.

I am sure a day will come when I want to. but boy 3 years. :ph34r:
The books of 2007 and 2008 I don't worry about. Most of those I really want to read. :)

Megi!! So glad you added your list.
I did not count mine. I should do that too.


The Lovely Bones? I loved that book.
Same with pilot's Wife.
Stiff I decided to let go without reading. To scary for me.
Will check your list a bit more.

More Lists please :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance:
So much fun to see what you guys have catching dust on your shelves. :lol:

I keep all mine in an excel spreadsheet and have made a conscious effort over the last couple years to read books from BCers. Right now I'm down to 56 books and the oldest I have was received 12/3/06. I only have 6 left that I received in 2006 and the rest are from 2007 & 2008.

Thanks for the pointers Ann Marye .
My plan is to start Sleepers next.
I am also looking forward to read Belladonna. Not a book I think, darn will I want to read this?

All the Stephen King books I have read in Dutch and more than once. I think I have read all his work except for The Colorado kid.

The Valentine book is romance. I will give it a try cause there are some authors I am curious about. MaryJanice Davidson. I've heard you guys talk about her books a lot.

nwpassage wrote: The only 2 on your list that I've read are "Somebodies and Nobodies" and "Pen Pals" by Olivia Goldsmith. I enjoyed both, but if I recall the BC discussion of S&N, a lot of people found it kind of common sense and repetitive. At the time I read Pen Pals I was on a really big Olivia Goldsmith kick, and read all her stuff that was out at that time, but for me at least it wasn't one of her best books, pretty standard fare from her... it is worth a read if you're interested in what life is like in a modern woman's prison! :)

So while I enjoyed both, I'd say that if they don't really grab you, you can pass them on unread without feeling you really missed much.
Hmm I start to think I did read Pen Pals then. It is about a woman who has to be in jail thanks to her boyfriend? Or I read the first 4 chapters. I think that was it and did not really got my mind to it.


There are more books I did read half of or a few chapters. The Journals of Eleanor Druse, Weaveworld read in Dutch. great book. Drum or Mandingo, is too hard for me to read because of the dialect. I did read a few chapters of The Story of Junk and Bare.

anyways nearly done with Cane River so i can remove one book. :bananadance:

Blue Thanks for the Anna Maxted tip. Yes I will give that a try soon. Don't have too many chick lit books at the moment .

Breeze: Yes that is a good idea. But I do want to read them first. :ph34r: :)

zzz 2002? does that mean you also have many TBR's registered by others of 2003?

Lauren: Thanks for the tip. Yes That is a book I am actually looking forward to

Fantasy: Must give this book a try soon. I am curious if I will like it or not. It is part of a series. trilogy so it would be handy to know so I can look for the other books. (I hope I don't like it) :ph34r: :lol:

I am sorry if I forget to reply to someone.

I'm making a conscious effort this year to only read books registered by other BookCrossers** - I want to get them down to under 50 by the end of the year!

I have read my oldest 2 this year and my oldest now is Fortune's Rocks by Anita Shreve which I received 19 October 2004!.

I have 112 on my list and an m-bag due to arrive shortly!

** The only exceptions to this are books for my reading group or series books where I have later books on my shelf and need to read earlier ones.
