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?

I think I'll join!

As I'm currently halfway through my Amazing Plan of "reread the entire Foreigner series", I'll give the remaining ones first spot on the list:

0. C.J. Cherryh, Destroyer. (#0 because I only have about 50 pages left.)
1. C.J. Cherryh, Pretender.
2. C.J. Cherryh, Deliverer.
3. C.J. Cherryh, Conspirator.

Then it's on down the row of "things I've been meaning to read":
4. Amy Thompson, The Color of Distance.
5. Douglas Hulick, Among Thieves.
6. Alana Morland, Shackle and Sword.

I think that's all I'd better sign up for, but it's a good portion of the To-Be-Read shelf!

Sounds a good plan!

Ooh, I've been derailed from Foreigner onto another long series, but I keep meaning to get back to it! Conspirator is sitting on the shelf unopened, but I can't jump straight to that one because I need to start further back and re-read so I get a handle on the political situation and know what's going on. Possibly I need to start right at the beginning, given the complexity...
