Challenge: 50 Books discussion

I didn't get 50 for 2012 which really disappoints me since it's usually a cake walk. But seeing as how I had a baby and got seriously addicted to back television episodes of supernatural, I guess it was bound to be a short year read. I'll still pay myself on the back for doing 22 and resolve to do better in 13.

1- burned by Ellen Hopkins

2-Dead Over Heels - Charlaine Harris
3- Silver Linings Playbook
4- Notorious Nineteen - Evanovich

I'm not quite done with these yet, but should be done next week. I'm adding them in case I forget.

5- the American sandbox dictionary of children's mispronounced English

6- true green

7- the money saving mom's budget

8- Breakfast with Buddha

9 - seriously....I'm kidding (Ellen degeneres)

10- bossypants

11- The Green Book

12- Bringing up Bebe

13- Roll Me up and smoke me when I die: Musings from the road by Willie Nelson

How do you like the Aurora Teagarden series? I LOVED Sookie series. I read the first of that series and didn't like it as much as Sookie.

Personally, I think it's awful. I won't read any more f the Teagarden series.

14: Dead Ever After

15- The Dhammapada

16- The Dharma of Star Wars

17- Gone Girl

18- best breakfast eats in Missouri
19- rashi
20- household cleaning: self-suffiency
21- everything I know about motherhood, I learned from animal house

22- Maus Volume 1: My Father Bleeds History
23- Nickel and Dimed: On Not Getting By in America

These both represent titles from the new classics list by Entertainment Weekly. It's a list of titles from 1982 to present of books that should be read...much more of an interesting list than the 101 books to read before you die. If I have to read more Hemingway, I think I'll put a fork in my eye.

24- maus II

25- finding the still point
26- things fall apart

27- Crank
28- Sh*tty Mom
29- which way to murder

You are doing great! I also loved the Sookie series! How was Gone Girl?

30- the sunflower

31- save the last dance: poems

I loved gone girl! I picked up dark places by the same author. I need to pick it up from the library, so I haven't read it yet, but the summary looks pretty good.

32- the storyteller. Loved this one.

#33- Brownies and Broomsticks

#34-Little house in the big woods
#35- God is not great
#36- the pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs
#37- is everyone hanging out without me?

#38- the secret garden

#39- Toddler Play: 100 activities for busy toddlers

# 40- secret of the old clock

41- beautiful creatures
42- cast off coven
43- I brake for yard sales
44- secondhand spirits
45- in a witch's wardrobe
46- Bridget jones-mad about the boy
47- hexes and hemlines
48- the homemade atheist
49- tarnished and torn

These were picked up at the library today and will be read over the next month.

50- dress your family in corduroy and denim

After this and the ones above are done later in the month, I will be done. Woot. Totally stopping too. I want to take a knitting class and watch a couple tv shows this fall.

51- takedown twenty

52- the wererat's tale

53- the happiness project

54- a bear called Paddington
55- a bad beginning

56- the stupidest angel

57- superfudge

I barely made it to 50, but my dream this coming year 2014 is to read a book a week, every week, and immediately post it in here. Have a mix of books - fiction, nonfiction and just something that I haven't read that is here at home, a few library reads.

58- pretty little liars
59- after dead

60- coreyography

61- flawless
