Quick Reminder:

December Card is valid til 31st Jan

...you may want to read Dec books in Jan so you can complete as many other Cards you can the rest of this year

I've still got 41 books to read (err, about a book a day! it's not going to happen for me!)

Charity | 577 comments Yeah can't wait to start looking! I haven't finished any cards. Close on a couple but I only started in June so maybe next years challenge will get done! :)

I have some misgivings about the letter "E"
Let me know how you go on the book hunt!

Yeah, it's not going to happen for me either. I have 43 left NOT including December, but I've had such fun with this challenge and found some great books that I would definitely not have read without it :0)

I also have 41 to read, not counting December. Clearly not going to happen. Oh, well.

Susan, I seldom finish these games on time - well, that was true through June, when I retired.

At present, I only have three old ones that I am still working on - LOST (16), Moving Mountains (4), and Timber: a birthday game (3) + 67 left in Scatter Shelves.

I truly hope to complete these next year; but, regardless, I get to read a lot of good books I would never have chosen.

I actually found this one easier to plan than many. Not so many authors, but lots of "E"s in titles. And many of the shelves I needed seemed to just jump out at me. The categories, not so much. But I think my total planning time was shorter than for most months.

Dirty trick, though, putting a 600+ book in the last month. Shame on you, Tien! (jk)

Oops. Maybe I spoke too soon. I have a question. In an anthology of short stories, may we consider all of the authors' names in coming up with an "E"? Or do we need to find an "E" in the editor's name?

I knew that. Just needed to razz you a little. :)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Excluding December I still have 34 books to read. I have one month with just one book left and another three months with two books each. On the plus side I do have two weeks off at Christmas.
