Conceding Defeat

I wanted to make sure I read the following books in 2010:

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

I read 3/5...The Sparrow, Peace Like a River, and Gone with the Wind. I brought along the other two on my trip this Christmas, but I've just not had any time to read. So I won't be finishing them. I hope to get to them in the next year.

I really want to finish my swap list challenge with Hannah this year, though. It's a very real and serious goal!

If Meatloaf were to write a song about this post he'd call it 3 out 5 Ain't Bad. Seriously, GWTW is a brick. As much as I love it, it takes a commitment. Be proud of what you've accomplished. :)

Hmmm...maybe next year? I thought 5 books was a silly goal, but I STILL put them off!
Better to spend time with family at Christmas than with your nose in a book....or, maybe not?

I agree, 3 out of five ain't bad! Relax and enjoy your trip :)

I know your pain! Although, I can't believe you haven't read To Kill A Mockingbird - not one you did at school?

I have no idea why it wasn't required in school, but nope. Hopefully this year!
I haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird, yet, either. Sigh.
