November Group Read - Books You Own But Have Never Read

[glinda]

So November is upon us and with it Nanowrimo, which I never do and always think, I should make my own challenge for November so I feel less useless when everyone else is posting word counts. I've been reading quite a lot this year but haven't really made a dent in the number of books I own but haven't read. So I thought I set myself the challenge to reading two books that have been lurking on my bookshelves for ages, during the month of November. I suggested the idea to my dwircle and various people thought it would be fun and some of those people happened to also be part of readingtogether and well, it seemed a fun project for the comm.

Basically this can be as big or as little of a commitment as you feel up to. Dependant on your reading speed/available time you can sign up to read one book or ten books. Doesn't matter how big or small the book, only that its something that has been taking up space on your book shelf (or case/box/tottering pile beside your bed) for some time and you've never quite got round to it.

All you need to do is comment below with the book(s) you want to read this month.

Then each Thursday I post a check-in post, and you comment with your progress so far. Celebrating little achievements as well as big ones is heartily encouraged.

Come play?

If I sign up to read ten books, can I add another ten if I get those read? *grin*

Karen Miller, The Innocent Mage.
Karen Miller, The Awakened Mage. (They've been on my shelves since before I came to university...)
Juliet Marillier, Wolfskin.
Juliet Marillier, Foxmask. (Some of the books hanging over me unread from 2011 that I want to clear.)
Hella S. Haasse, In A Dark Wood Wandering. (This one sits right in the middle of a bunch of struck-out books on my acquired list. Therefore I want to strike it out too. It makes sense to me, okay.)
N.K. Jemisin, The Killing Moon.
N.K. Jemisin, The Shadowed Sun. (Jemisiiiin.)
Diane Duane, The Door Into Fire.
Diane Duane, The Door Into Shadow.
Diane Duane, The Door Into Sunset. (The three oldest books apart from Foxmask on my acquired-2011-unread list.)

If you manage to get through all those, you are absolutely welcome to add another ten. Also I'll be a) very impressed and b) kinda jealous of your reading speed! :)

If I wasn't struggling with brain-weasels, I'd be pretty positive of finishing these ten, but the brain-weasels don't like me to finish anything. Grargh.
