good luck!! :D

Many good books, Peggy. I have read some, and have plenty in my TBR.
You still have The Glass Castle there, but you already read it. ;)

Oh thanks Sandra! That's what you get with two lists to keep track off..

You can now replace it with another great book. :)

Memoirs of a Geisha is one of my favourite books, I hope you enjoy it :)

I've been wanting to read it for a long time Ariane, but somehow it just gets pushed back and back. I will make time for it this year though!

I liked it as well.

Like you Peggy, I kept putting off Memoirs... but it was chosen for me to read for a challenge last year and I was impressed. it ended up being a 5 star book which made it on to my favourites shelf.

I didn't read as many books as I thought I would in January, but at least the ones I read were good! Hopefully February will be just as great (or even greater, I would love a 5-star book!).

Good luck with all your challenges, Peggy. :) You own some really good ebooks. I read Rooftops of Tehran years ago and enjoyed the story.

What task does True Grit fit in?

India, a book set between 1800 and 1899.

Oh, good one. I did not think of that. :)
