JoAnn: I bet Rebecca will be a fun book club discussion book!

Karen: Writing goals are good I need to get back to my novel one of these days and start re-writes. It has been looming out there, begging me to return!

What a great list of books you’ve read in the past couple of weeks. I REALLY want to read Tomato Girl so I’m going to go check out your review.

No reading goals for 2009 as yet. The writing goals are stacking up, however, and that’s a good thing!

Rebecca is next month’s selestion for my f2f group. Since it was my suggestion, I’m hoping they all have the same reaction as you! I look forward to a re-read before then, too.

Trish: I know exactly what you mean!

WendyCat: one can only procrastinate just so long *laughs* Hope you had a great reading day…and stayed DRY!

Samantha: I have yet to hear someone say they did not like Rebecca – I am enjoying it immensely.

Mari: Thanks! I should have a review up hopefully mid-week

Karen: I agree about the challenges helping to focus reading – I try to pick challenges where I have the books already on my shelves as it gives me incentive to read them!

Typ0: I think that is a great goal…especially when you consider the national average is like 2 books a year (or something like that!).

Audrey: Hope you had a great reading day…I’ve been lucky with the books I’ve read lately; mostly very, very good.

readasllight: Reading as the mood takes you is good And yes, gloomy days are the best days for curling up with a good book!

Kathy: Thank you! The Expo was wonderful…maybe you can come next year?

Megan: I am so loving Rebecca! You sound like me with lists *laughing* but I also get distracted. If I could just stop buying books, I’d probably be more organized…but, I just can’t!

Jill: Hope your day was great too!

The Duck Thief: I didn’t realize Rebecca was made into a movie by Hitchcock – I’ll have to check it out.

Lisa: That sounds wonderful – I sometimes think I need to read more classics as well.

I must admit I am a “mood” reader – I have to go with what I feel like reading although in all other aspects of my life I am a huge goal setter. I have enjoyed joining in some of the challenges this year though because it is helped steer me towards books I might not otherwise have discovered. Having said that – not sure I will have the reading stamina/time to complete all of my challenges!

Great job raising all that money! I wasn’t all that successful in my reading during the Read a Thon.
I can’t wait to hear what you think about Rebecca. I have wanted to read it for awhile.

Sounds like you’ve had a good reading week. I recently read Rebecca and loved it. A great read and I hope you enjoy.

I am reading the perfect book for a rainy day today too. If only I had the big old fashioned Southern house to go with it. It sounds like you have gone for a great atmospheric book in honor of the day.

I haven’t started thinking about next year yet, but I know I won’t be able to avoid it soon. I’m planning to make a few changes in my reading habits too. Exactly what though is still in the works.

I hope you have a great week, Wendy!

With only a few weeks left in the year I’m yet again overwhelmed by my challenge books still lurking on the shelf. I have no doubt I’ll finish, but next year I’m going to try to refrain from so many LONGER challenges–the ones that last 12 months. I’ve found that I like the shorter ones (or at least don’t require 12 books).
