There is a reason those books were catching dust for years.

I thought that, but having just read one of my oldest books (2005) I can't believe I didn't read it earlier - it was great! Plus I'm now reading my oldest book (2004) and, again, and kicking myself for leaving it so long as I am really enjoying it. So don't give up on those dusty ones yet - there may be some hidden gems in there!

But well done on getting so many read

Jordanne wrote:Ri, that most have been a lot of work, making this list with all the titles clickable!

It was mostly just cut and paste, so not too bad... Plus, it gives me a quick place to go back and update the JE once it is read or released or whatever...

Woohoo - just finished reading the oldest TBR I had on my shelf! Really enjoyed it as well!

Time for another revision.... I will just strike through anything that's gone now.... and possibly edit the comment too.

AVL

1. Where She Has Gone by Nino Ricci (rec'd May 2008)
Nino Ricci is Writer in Residence for the public library in the city next to mine this year. I am trying to think of a good place to leave this book in that city, perhaps with some info about the discussion groups, workshops etc that Ricci will be holding while he is in our region
2. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (rec'd 30 Dec. 2008)
This one was at the Toronto Convention in '06. I am currently trying to decide whether I should wild release it somewhere, or send it to NZ and let it go to the '09 Convention, too.

RES

1. Podkayne of Mars by Robert Heinlein (rec'd 2008, reserved for a small mass release I'm trying to put together)
2. Memoires de Moi by Flora Groult (rec'd 2006. This was a bookray but there were onl 2 participants after me, and as neither could be contacted I got stuck with it.)
Am sending this one to camis ASAP!
3. Anne Frank, Une Vie by Ruud van der Roll & Rian Verhoeven (rec'd Dec. 2005, released in Feb. 2009, at the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Museum, on a bench near a display about children in hiding)
4. A Streetcar Named Desire y Tennessee Williams (rec'd 2006... reserved for release at a particular museum that isn't open this time of year)

Thanks blue. that is such a huge compliment for me. I always feel a bit silly writing reviews because of my English

I've read 11 books this month!
My lst 2 books were non BC books though.

Jungle which was great. 5 stars
and last night I finished:
Ice Bound.

Now I had to pick another non BC book cause I owe it but after this one which is small I will pick a bc book once again.

Good job Camis

Jessica. what a great release of the Anne frank book!

I've updated my list. I've read 1, wild released several and control released several more.

This is obviously a work in progress...

http://bookobsessed.com/single/?p=8014720&t=416156

I have updated the first post with elsi's new list.
Do you want me to change yours too Ri?

Let me go check.

I've just finished The Queen of the damned but this was my own book.
Now I am back to reading a book of my list again.

eta; okay never mind. I see I have the correct post of you Ri.

Wow I think I want to do that too. Add all the urls so the lsit is clickable.
Good idea!
