This is the list.

The Jean Plaidy books, most were rabcks from years ago and people knew I wanted them for my pc so I don't worry too much about them, just a little

The Stephen king books were books I have already read in Dutch, maybe I should just set those available.

Are there any books especially the ones from 2005,2006 you guys say, O that is such a good read. You must give that book a try?

Any help is appreciated. I am sure a lot of people will recognise books.

this means I have read them
This means I did not read but set the book available

ETA: I just received 15 books from nwpassage. What a great rabck. All books i want to read.

With me going to declutter the house i think it is time to declutter my shelf as well.
So I am going to set a lot of the older books available. maybe offer them on bookmooch.

Oh Marlene, if I were to look back and do something similar I'd go into a panic too with the amount of books from other people I've had since 2005. Heck, the first book I ever got on a relay in the old relay site is STILL sitting in my shelves unread (that was in 2005). If some of these don't really interest you anymore, don't feel guilty about not reading them. I have lots of books I got on relays back when I was absolutely obsessed with them and I'm not nearly as interested in them now as I thought I was back then. So, if you don't plan on reading them, either put them AVL or, I don't know, list them on bookmooch or have a draw for specific books!

Lady and the Unicorn by Traci Chevalier June 30 2007 is probably the only one I've read from these but I'd recommend it.

By the way, Marlene, sweety pie, crazy dutch woman, can I beg you for The Dark Queen by Susan Carroll when you're done with it? Maybe once you read it (no hurries!) you could perhaps list it on Bookmooch and I'd mooch it from you? It's the only one I'm missing from the Cheney of Faire Isle series.

Yes of course you can.
It is the only one I have of the series. I will try it and see if I like it.
(will make a note so I wont forget )

Thanks for your reply. Yes Those books of 2005 and 2006. a lot I am not interested in anymore. Lots from relays, rabcks, surprise added books.

Right now I am in a mood where I can read almost anything. Does someone recognise that? Being very familiar with the reading blank or how do you say it, this is the opposite. feeling you are interested in anything.

It is quite fun to make such a list though, easy if you have wings.


search for TBR in your possession and then chose Most recently journalled and go to the last page.
at least I do not have a book from 2004

Love to hear more comments or even see other people's lists.

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.

I liked Boy meets girl

I would be interested in these 2 historical fiction, and maybe others would take them out of the historical fiction VBB?
The Queen's secret By Jean Plaidy. Dec 03-2005
Anne Boleyn by Evelyn Anthony 11 july 2006

AND Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King is a MUST read if you haven't already read it in Dutch! Great book, unusual for him and I've read it many times!

I have read some books by Anna Maxted and quite liked her. I don't know if Behaving like Adults was one of them but when you are in the mood for chicklit you could give it a try? And even use it for a swap...

Don't feel bad, Marlene. I have some from 2004! (Granted, my daughter and/or son read them, but they refuse to journal so the people who sent them to me probably think the books just sat on my shelf gathering dust.)

I sent you Somebodies and Nobodies. It's pretty dry and would be a good candidate to release without reading, I think.

Books on your list that I thought were good are:

Dolores Claiborne
Fried Green Tomatoes
Having Our Say

Cane River is one of my favorite books ever, as I mentioned in the Book Talk thread over at BC. If you can't get into it soon, then we have very different tastes and you should ignore my recommendations.

ETA: One of the teachers I work with was telling me last week how much she enjoyed Behind the Scenes at the Museum.

I have books from 2002! (actually one and is part of my PC. Now I think about it that was the book that brought me to old Relay forum - it was (can't remember the name) Welcome Wagon Relay for brand new members and it was from Zmrzlina. After that I came on forum pages and stayed )

I recognized Monica (and literally died of laughing after reading your JE. How can you switch our Monica with the other one ); didn't read it though.

Just a quick reply. I have to read all your posts but Megi. Yes I am now very much enjoying Cane River.
Back to my book.
