Yes! You about summed it up. I have such a hard time recommending to people because it’s so long and so hit and miss on whether you will like it.

I finally finished the Goldfinch audiobook today….
URGH!!! lol…. I did like it! I found it poetic and beaufifully written .. (and some parts really make you think)… . I have my favorite characters (Hobie & Pipa) .. and the beginning in New York was probably my favorite … (Vegas with Dad was my least favorite)…. but it was difficult to read for sure (im really sad about the drug use)… and you weren’t kidding about it being really long!!.. Holy! what a book!

Oh, I’m so excited we’ll be reading the same book! It’ll be interesting to see how our opinions compare.

I’m so glad you are enjoying the challenge! With 24 books in the month, I can imagine it would be hard to remember them all. I compulsively track all my reading on Goodreads (and now on the blog), so that’s one thing to look at. Or you could try a reading journal.

With 52 categories, there’s a good chance all your mood reads will fit into a category. Though that gets a lot harder as the months go on.

Way to go! I have a goal of reading my last few unread books from my bookshelves this year. One down, only 6 more to go!

I know! When I first started book blogging, everyone was talking about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. But I just didn’t get around to reading it. And you should read both I’d Rather Be Reading and The Southern Lady Code. I think you’d like both of them. They are both quick reads, and I love that the authors’ read the audiobooks themselves.

Yes, I’ve been on quite the nonfiction kick. I have another 10 sitting on my nightstand right now, so February might be similar.

Wow, you picked two long ones! I loved Without Remorse; I’ve read the whole Jack Ryan trilogy. I’ll be curious to hear what you think about The Goldfinch. It gets such mixed reviews. (I really liked it.)
