This list contains the books in my possession which were registered by someone else. In the four weeks since my last update, I've received 6 more books. Fortunately, I mailed off 19 books today (not all of which were registered by other people). I am working my way through the "owed" books; and I need to start planning to move the oldest of these books on to someone else.

I've updated your list on first post elsi

Did not read many BC books. nearly done with one which was nearly a 1000 pages.

Updated my TBR-List and I was able to remove the following books this month:


2004:
Her Passionate Protector by Laurey Bright (avaible)

2008:
Random Acts of Heroic Love by Danny Scheinmann HB (sent off)
Birthday Wishes by Susan Beth Pfeffer (sent off)

2009:
The Ballroom on Magnolia Street by Sharon Owens HB (sent off)
The Hatbox Letters by Beth Powning HB(sent off)
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (sent off)
A 4th Course of Chicken Soup by Jack Canfield HB (avaible)
A 3rd Serving of Chicken Soup by Jack Canfield HB (avaible)
A 2nd Helping of Chicken Soup by Jack Canfield HB (avaible)
Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield HB (avaible)
Tell Me No Lies by Kathryn Shay (sent off)
The Wrong Man For Her by Kathryn Shay (sent off)
Sun Stroked by Cathryn Fox (sent off)

Haven't been making much progress lately. Received all those great wish list books for my Birthday so it will be a while before I will be able to cross one of this list.

Delighted that I only have 2 pre-2007 books left on my list! Despite not having much reading time now, I'm determined to get these finished by the end of the year. Have 22 pre-2009 books left to hit my goal of having less than 50 by the end of the year...not so confident on that one with exams and another course coming up, but we'll see how it goes!

Sunny you are doing great. It made me think I really should try to do the same and start reading the 2006 books first, then try the 2007 books. I think I will set the 2005 book on available cause it is a book 2 of a series

Way to go, Sunny!

Due to my really busy life this past year, which stole away any time or joy of reading outside of school texts, I managed to not only increase my pile without decreasing it but won't even be able to meet any of the challenges for 2009, with the exception of not adding more than 50 books registered by others to the TBR mountain (though adding them up with the ones registered by me may as well reach or surpass that number... ouch).

All in all, last semester of 2008 and most of 2009 pretty much sucked for me. And it's not over yet. Now it's time for the thesis...
