I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Are you a well-read reader?

A bucket list from the amazon book editors, with a list at GoodReads. How many have you read?


From a story first published in 1947 to a literary page turner, unseating a President to launching a catch phrase, children, young adult, non-fiction, there is something for everyone on this list. It is suppose to help create a well-read life. You don't have that need, do you?

I do wonder how they decided that these were the books that made up a well-read life. Did they decide on so many children's books, so many non-fiction? Did they accept nominations then vote? No matter how they did it, it is an interesting list. I own more than I've read. Some I saw the movie and decided against the book. Some I read the first in the series and said no to the rest. I √'d the ones I remember reading.

Magical Cats Mystery series

Everyone thinks their cats are special—but Owen and Hercules have powers that go far beyond an adorable look or an irresistible purr. Along with their owner, librarian Kathleen Paulson, they have an uncanny instinct for solving crimes...

 Book 1: Curiosity Thrilled the Cat

Obsidian
February 2011
ISBN-13: 978-0451232496

When librarian Kathleen Paulson moved to Mayville Heights, Minnesota, she had no idea that two strays would nuzzle their way into her life. Owen is a tabby with a catnip addiction and Hercules is a stocky tuxedo cat who shares Kathleen's fondness for Barry Manilow. But beyond all the fur and purrs, there's something more to these felines.

When murder interrupts Mayville's Wild Rose Music Festival, Kathleen finds herself the prime suspect. More stunning is her realization that Owen and Hercules are magical-and she's relying on their skills to solve a purr-fect murder.







Book 2: Sleight of Paw 
Obsidian
September 2011
ISBN-13: 978-0451234537

Mayville Heights, Minnesota librarian Kathleen Paulson never wanted to be the crazy cat lady. But after Owen and Hercules followed her home, she realized her mind wasn't playing tricks on her-her cats have magical abilities.

When the body of elderly do-gooder Agatha Shepherd is found near Kath's favorite local café, she knows Owen's talent for turning invisible and Hercules's ability to walk through walls will give the felines access to clues Kathleen couldn't get without arousing suspicion. Someone is hiding some dark secrets-and it will take a bit of furtive investigating to catch the cold-hearted killer.






Book 3: Copycat Killing
Obsidian
May 2012
ISBN-13: 978-0451234537

It's been raining cats and dogs in Mayville Heights. The small town's been deluged, and now the local artists' co-op is on the verge of flooding. Kathleen has been up all night helping her friends move their creations to the safety of the upstairs studio.

The artwork survives, but when controversial mask maker Jaeger Merrill is found drowned in the co-op basement, Kathleen questions whether the death was accidental. After she discovers the artist was using an assumed name, she realizes she can't actually assume anything about him. With the help of handsome detective Marcus Gordon—and her cats' extraordinary powers of detection—it's up to Kathleen to unmask a killer.

Just how many books do I really need to read during 2012?

Once again, I've joined too many challenges, have new ones ready to join, and others I'll be joining that aren't 12 month challenges. My Reading Challenge Addict page has 20 challenges listed and I must complete 16+ to complete the challenge. Good thing "overlaps" are allowed!

IF I read one book for each requirement without the overlaps, I would need to read ...... 320-330 books!

WHAT! Even with 150 being any book, that still leaves over 250 more books.

sigh

I thought I would be able to list them but who am I kidding, that's a long list! Let's go with the challenges where I've already chosen the books.

Book list:
Brave New World
Hunger Games
Hidden Empire
The Once and Future King
Magic Kingdom for Sale-Sold
Redwall
The View from the Cherry Tree
Eyes of Prey
311 Pelican Court
A Snake in the Glass
The Fairy Tales Detective
Ancient Awakenings
The Call of the Canyon
Every Thing On It
Lost in a Good Book
The City and the Stars
Kiss of Snow
Manufactured Identity
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Room
Harry Potter series
Chronicles of Narnia
Tomb of Endearment
Carriage House
The Cricket in Times Square
Murder on Monday


Not too bad, there are enough overlaps that 38 books read will complete nine challenges!

Are you ready for 2012?

Avon invites you to Kiss & Teal for Ovarian Cancer

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, and Avon Books is urging our authors and readers to learn about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and to help spread the "K.I.S.S. and Teal" message. Avon Books has made an initial donation of $25,000 to the Alliance. And—with your help—Avon Books has also committed to donating 25¢ from the sale of each book, physical and eBook, in the "K.I.S.S. and Teal" promotion between 8/30/2011 and 2/28/2012, up to an additional $25,000 toward programs that support ovarian cancer patients and their families.

So, help us spread the word and reach our goal of $50,000 which will benefit all the women in our lives.


Kiss & Teal page at Avon Romance with descriptions of each book and purchase links (print and electronic copies). There's also a link to an ad you can download for your blog that different then the graphic I used.


Sure 25¢ isn't much but if I buy one or two and you buy one or two and we each tell a couple of friends and they buy one or two.... it all adds up! One of the authors is on my "must buy" list and if the others sound good, I may buy them as well!




Which one(s) will you pick up?

That's quite an interesting list, such a wide range of genres, wonder where Laura found it. It would have been easier to change the list around but this is the order I found it in so I left it. I must say that there was one series I didn't claim since I never finished the first book and one I wish I wasn't claiming since I...can't say I hated it...just finished to finish and didn't CARE to read the rest of the series to find out what happened to *cough*Bella*cough*. I did mention "in my house" simply because I haven't read it yet but have purchased it. It is possible it it my husband's book and you would think, our children but I'm the one that read Goosebumps ;-)

What are your thoughts? Head on over to Laura's and let her know.

The 60's

I was thinking about the 10-10-10 challenge way back in June (probably because I was failing the 999). I decided to read books published in 1965 and discovered it was a lot harder to pin down than I thought so I changed it to books published in, or about, The 60's. I thought this would make it easier to choose books. sort of....

I made a great list and then found out that Dune, For Kicks and Odds Against were the only titles on the list actually published in 1965. Some books that showed up were on my "read some day" list and they were 63 or 68. That also helped me broaden the category. This list needs non-fiction but I'll research that later.

This is what I have, any suggestions would be appreciated.


60: To Kill a Mockingbird/Harper Lee
61: Stranger in a Strange Land/Robert A. Heinlein
61: The Sneetches/Dr. Seuss
62: The Man in the High Castle/Philip K. Dick
63: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold/John Le Carre
63: Glory Road/Robert A. Heinlein
64:
65: Dune/Frank Herbert
65: For Kicks & Odds Against/Dick Francis
65: The World of Water/Erle Stanley Gardner (nonfiction)
65: The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch/Philip K. Dick
66: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress/Robert A. Heinlein
66: The Cat Who could Read Backwards/Lilian Jackson Braun read in '09
66: In Cold Blood/Truman Capote
67: The Cat Who Ate Modern Danish/Lilian Jackson Braun read in '09
67: The Outsiders/S.E. Hinton
68: The Cat Who Turned On and Off/Lilian Jackson Braun
68: 2001: A Space Odyssey/Authur C. Clarke
68: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?/Philip K. Dick
69: The Andromeda Strain/Michael Crichton
69: Slaughterhouse-Five/Kurt Vonnegut
69: The Left Hand of Darkness/Ursula K. Le Guin
69: Ubik/Philip K. Dick

as near as I can tell....

Journey to the Centre of the Earth
CS Lewis Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelander, That Hideous Strength)
Revolt in 2100/Robert A Heinlein
Garden on the Moon/Boulle Pierre
You Only Live Twice/Ian Fleming

What? A Book for every letter?

The idea is to read a book for each letter of the month for a year. Once I find where I found it, I'll link but for now I just want to see if I can do this with the books I need for the challenges I have officially joined. I had trouble finding a J title for the A-Z challenge and now I'm going to need THREE of them, and what's with all the U's! And the E's!

My Review books will be a HUGE help but I don't know if I want to find specific letter title to find my other challenges/free reading. For now, this is what my list looks like. I'm pretty sure the challenge started 11-1-09 so I'm listing the ones I need to read next year as well as the ones I'm reading now. I've even finished some!

Thanks to Bitsy at Fabula: A Book Blog, I now know this challenge is the....

book list: Garrison Allen

I have a list of "must reads" for challenges and another for reviews but am I reading them? Noooo - I want to read cat sleuth books, a challenge that doesn't end until 2010. Not just 2010 but June 30, 2010. Plenty of time to get the other 10 books in but, dang it. When you want a specific book or even kind of book and you read something else, its like tell yourself "I know you want chocolate but have some lettuce". Still food but yikes, not what you want.

So, all this leads up to.... Garrison Allen. Author of the "Big Mike" mystery series. There are six and I've got them all. I'm pretty sure I've read them all but its been more than five years.

Penelope Warren calls her bookstore Mycroft & Co., in honor of the cat who presides there. Tough and macho, Big Mike is ready to match wit and claw with the most cunning of critter. For when it comes to catching a killer, this lethal weapon is always up to scratch.

Desert Cat, 300 pages
It isn't every day it rains cats and dogs in the Arizona desert. And it isn't every day that Penelope Warren and her Abyssinian alley cat, Mycroft, lock up their cozy bookstore, and come home to a corpse on their doorstep.

Meddlesome, mean-spirited Louise Fletcher was high on everyone's least-liked list. An expert at backstabbing, she is found with a knife between her shoulderblades and a death grip on a bright new penny. Everyone in Empty Creek has a motive, but the pouce are stymied. So it's up to Penelope and her felicitous feline partner to sniff out Louise's secrets, paw through her past-and pounce on a deadly killer who seems to have nine lives.


Royal Cat, 287 pages
The annual Elizabethan Spring Faire has transformed Empty Creek, Arizona into Merry Olde England. Everyone is turned out in doublet and hose to relive the revelry of a lively era. Minstrels mae music, bawdy bards abound and wanton wenches cavort with lusty cavalier. Anyone who misbehaves may be sent summarily to the stocks.

But more than mischief is afoot when Carolyn Lewis, the less-than-popular retired teacher playing the Virgin Queen, is excuted in the dark of night. Her crown passes to Penelope Warren, bookstore owner and amateur sleuth extraordinaire. Then the murdrer takes an encore, and it's up to Penelope and her awesome Abyssinian cat, Big Mike, to take their sleuthing behind the scenes...where death treads the boards and a cunning killer refuses to be upstaged.




I'll get to the others in a bit..... tired
