PS, I Love You - Cecelia Ahern

I bought this book when I was in London last and finally finished it last night. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. Do read it, but have tissues handy. PS, I Love You has been an amazing read for the Fall Into Reading challenge.

The Whitcoulls Challenge - DONE

Since I'm hosting this challenge, I thought I'd better actually sign up for it too ;) The list is subject to change if I'm unable to find some of the books at the library, and I make no plans of which book to read which month :-P

My list:

• The Red Tent - Anita Diamant (TBR)
  
• Wild Swans - Jung Chang (TBR)
  
• The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver (Library)
  
• Anybody Out There - Marian Keyes (Library)
  
• Long Walk to Freedom - Nelson Mandela (Library)
  
• Under the Tuscan Sun - Frances Mayes (TBR)
  
• Winnie-the-Pooh - A.A. Milne (TBR)
  
• The Clan of the Cave Bears - Jean M. Auel
  
• Mathilda - Roald Dahl
  
• April Fool's Day - Bryce Courtenay
  
• The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency - Alexander McCall Smith (TBR)
  
• The Stand - Stephen King
  
  

Alternatives:
My Sisters Keeper - Jodi Picoult, The Other Boylen Girl - Philippa Gregory, A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth, The Pilot's Wife - Anita Shreve, Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder

The 888 challenge - DONE

This challenge is rather daunting, so I wavered for a long time whether or not I wanted to sign up for it. It was really tempting though, and what finally pushed me over the edge was the fact that I can change categories and/or titles at any time, so if I need to tweak it to fit another challenge or if I can't find all these books at the library, it's no big deal.

Read eight books in eight categories in the year 2008 (8 "overlaps" are allowed, so 56 unique titles).

My problem with this challenge is although I read a LOT I seldom plan ahead what I read, as I don't like it to get too rigid. 56 books in a year won't be a problem, but will I still feel like reading them when next year rolls around. We'll see, and if not, rule 5 here says that I can change books at any time, so hopefully it'll all work out :-D

The Whitcoulls Challenge

Whitcoulls was my favourite bookstore in New Zealand. Every year they published the "Top 100 List" as chosen by New Zealanders. Everybody can nominate their three favourite books, and the 100 books with most votes made the list. Unlike many other of these lists, this one represents what people actually read. I've managed to find the list for three years - 1998, 2002 and 2006.

I've been wanting to host a challenge myself, and this seems like the perfect opportunity. Read Your Way Through The Whitcoulls Top 100 List.

When: From November 1st, 2007 to November 1st, 2008.
What: Pick 12 books from either or all of the lists linked above, and read one a month (or - if you're feeling daring - pick 12 from each and read 3 a month!! But that's only for the obsessed ;) )
Why: To broaden our horizons and because it's fun of course!

I can't figure out how to use Mr. Linky, so just leave a comment with either your list or a link to your blog post and you're in! :-D

Have fun!

Just4thehelluvit

This is not a real challenge as much as a reminder to myself that despite all the wonderful challenges out there, I need to remember to make time and place for spontaneous reading as well.

No pre-made list here. It will grow as I go, adding the reviews to it as I read them. And these books can ONLY be some I read 'just4thehelluvit' - not for any (other) challenge, not for book clubs and not for reviewing.

Let's see how large that list grows in a year.

Casual Reading Challenge

I know I said I wouldn't add more challenges for the time being, but once you see the twist of this one, you'll understand why I couldn't help myself.

WHEN: October 1, 2007 -to- October 1, 2008


TO TAKE PART:

• Make a list of books you've been wanting to read (from your collection, the library, etc)
  
• read books from this list between the dates specified
  
• THE TWIST! You do NOT have to have read every book on your list by the end of this challenge!

The idea is to have crossed of at least some of the titles on your list by the end of the challenge, and to feel good that you have been able to do so! There is absolutely NO PRESSURE to complete the entire list, so it can be as long as you want!

On List of Bests I have a list of 100 books I want to read before I die. Some of these are already crossed off, but there are 70-something left still. This will be my list for the Casual Reading Challenge - with lots of cross-overs to other challenges. For this one I won't post my list here as it'd be far too long for the sidebar, but you can follow my progress via the link above.

Bibliography Challenge - Completed

I know, I know. I said I'd be good and not sign up for any challenge I came across, but I love books and I love books about books so... I couldn't help myself! Besides, cross-overs are allowed and it might spur me to finally reread "The Never-Ending Story" - something I've been meaning to do for 5 years now!

This is the Bibliography Challenge. The Challenge is to read 3 Books about Books. This challenge starts October 1st. And finishes December 31st. Fiction or Non Fiction, Crossovers are acceptable.

My picks:

• Inkheart - Cornelia Funke
• Inkspell - Cornelia Funke
• The Neverending Story - Michael Ende
  

The Book of Lost Things - John Connelly

"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" was so short that I had time to finish yet another book - The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. I've been reading it for awhile, but since it was so very different from what I expected (even though I have no clue what I actually did expect) it's taken me awhile to get through it, but today I sat down to read the last 100 pages so I could strike it off my list :-)

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

The Fall Into Reading 2007 Challenge started today, and I've finished my first book! Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling. A quick read (only 43 pages) and a very cute story for kids :)

Back To History - DONE

Okay, I probably should start to limit myself about now, but this challenge doesn't start until 2008 and sounds absolutely fascinating. I LOVE historical fiction, but read far too little of it, so this is a great chance for me to read (or reread) a bit more of it.

The challenge is to read one historical non-fiction, or historical fiction novel a month. They can't all be of the same type (all novels, all biographies, all memoirs etc.) but otherwise no limits. I haven't completely figured out my list yet, but as it runs for all of 2008 that doesn't matter really :)

For now it looks something like this:

• "Such a Time as This" by Rebecca Velez
  
• "The Last Jew" by Noah Gordon (novel)
  
• "Pope Joan" by Donna W. Cross (novel)
  
• "Those Who Trespass Against Us" by Karolina Lanckoroska
  
• "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant (novel)
  
• "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang (non-fiction)
  
• "A Diary Of A Young Girl" by Anne Frank (journal)
  
• "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom (non-fiction)
  
• "The Clan of the Cave Bears" by Jean M. Aule (novel)
  
• "Selected Journals Volume II" by L.M. Montgomery (journal)
  
• "The Scarlet Spy" by Andrea Pickens
• Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen

but I hope to find more inspiration from Mr. Linky on the original challenge site.

Anybody Care for 2nds? - Completed

In October-December read three books by authors you've only read one other book by.

"I know many of us have discovered several new authors as we have participated in the gazillion challenges we joined this past year (Joy said endearingly!) and I also know that we have stumbled upon some books that we thought were really great and some maybe not-so-great. Well, here's the perfect excuse opportunity to explore 3 new-found authors that you would love to go back for a second helping. I hope you'll join me."

My picks:

• "Flowers In The Attic" by Virginia Andrews (have read "My Dear Audrina")
  
• "The Amateur Marriage" by Anne Tyler (have read "Digging To America")
  
• "The Junglebook" by Rudyard Kipling (have read "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi")
  

Alternatives

• Amy Tan (have read "The Joy Luck Club")
  
• Agatha Christie (have read "Murder in the Orient Express")
  
• Valerie Martin (have read "Mary Reilly")
  
• George Orwell (have read "1984")
  
• Sarah Dessen (have read "Just Listen")
  
• Charles Dickens (have read "A Christmas Carol")
  
• Isabel Wolff (have read "Rescuing Rose")
  
• Inkspell - Cornelia Funke (have read nothing yet but will have read "Inkheart" by next month)
  
• John Irving (have read "The World According to Garp")
  
• The Marvelous Land of Oz - L. Frank Baum (have read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz")
  

Fall Into Reading 2007 - Completed

Fall Into Reading 2007 has no set guidelines and is a casual, low-pressure challenge. The point is simply to provide motivation to read, and to provide an opportunity for all of us to set goals when it comes to our personal reading. All I have to do is make a list of books I'd like to read (or books you'd like to finish!) this fall.

The timeframe of this challenge is September 23rd-December 21st. Since that's 13 weeks exactly, I figured I'd pick 13 books. A book a week should be doable.

These are the books I ended up choosing:

• PS, I Love You - Cecilia Ahern
  
• Flowers in the Attic - Virginia Andrews
  
• Noughts and Crosses - Malorie Blackman
  
• The Book Of Lost Things - John Connolly
  
• Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark Is Rising 1) - Susan Cooper
  
• The Big Over Easy - Jasper Fforde
  
• Inkheart - Cornelia Funke
  
• The Stand - Stephen King
  
• Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - Rudyard Kipling
  
• My Best Friend's Girl - Dororthy Koomson
  
• Lords and Ladies - Terry Pratchett
  
• Taken on Trust - Terry Waite
  
• To Say Nothing Of The Dog - Connie Willis
  

TBR Reading Challenge - Completed

I'm not actually an official participant of this challenge as I didn't find out about it until July. I thought it was a brilliant idea though, so I made my own half-year TBR (To Be Read) Reading Challenge, and will be joining in on the official one next year.

The rules are very simple:
For this challenge you should....

** Pick 6 books - one for each month of the second half of 2007 - that you've been wanting to read (have been on your "To Be Read" list) for 6 months or longer, but haven't gotten around to.

** Then, starting July 1, 2007, read one of these books from your list each month, ending December 31, 2007. :o

My books are/were (as we're already half-way through):

• "The Devil Wears Prada" by Lauren Weisberger (read in July)
• "Nights of Rain and Stars" by Maeve Binchy (read in August)
• "Mary Reilly" by Valerie Martin (read in September)
• "Lords and Ladies" by Terry Pratchett (read in December)
• "Taken on Trust" by Terry Waite (read in October)
• "The Big Over Easy" by Jasper Fforde (read in November)
  

Welcome!

I got this blog a couple of years ago, in order to be able to comment on another blogger's blog because they'd disabled anonymous commenting, so I had to sign up. Ever since then I've tried to figure out what to do with it.

Over the years I've tried several things, but somehow updating it just never got to be a regular thing. So now I've gotten a new idea - a book blog! Yes, I already have one for my book reviews at LiveJournal (http://bogormen.livejournal.com - the link is also shown in the sidebar), but there are some features LJ just doesn't have, which blogger does - like totally customizable sidebars (as long as you know html) and the ability to embed flash - so I thought, let this be my book challenge blog!

Reviews will still go to Bogormen although I will post links here, but the descriptions of the different challenges I sign up for, the lists and my progress will all go here.

Why do I sign up for all sorts of different challenges when I read a lot anyway? Beause I'd like a bit of method behind the madness. I have a to-read list a mile long and at least two shelves filled with books I own but have never read, so instead of the happy-go-lucky method of reading I've used until now, I thought I'd actually make a conscious effort to work my way through those - hopefully discovering a bunch of new favourites along the way.

Update on my 101 things...

Almost 4 months have passed since I made my "101 Things in 1001 Days" list, so it's time for an update:
1. Read the Bible or have a private devotion at least 4 days a week.
Yup! I manage to read the Bible almost every morning.
4. Read the Bible cover to cover.
If I remember correctly, by finishing Jeremiah earlier this year, I managed that. And if not, then I definitely will have by the time this year is up, as I'm currently working my way through the OT and I KNOW I've read all of the NT before.
6. Establish my evening routine.
More or less... I have a pretty decent routine, and manage to go through it most days, which means that the dishes are almost always done! :-)
7. Establish my morning routine.
Am getting there...
15. Get on the waiting list for a storage room.
Done - we have it now :)
17. Paint the bedroom.
Done
19. Use 30-60 minutes in the zone each week.
I manage this about once a month
21. Plan menus
Ditto
32. Find a working solution/compromise regarding a problem my DH and I have.
Done, done and DONE! :-D
34. Go on proper dates with my DH at least 4 times a year.
35. Have regular date-nights at home.
36. [Private Entry].
We're working on all three things
45. Spend at least 15 minutes a day exercising .
I have a 20 mins bikeride to work, so done ;)
63. Keep in regular touch with Tine
We hang out on a regular basis :)
66. Get a job.
Done
69. Finish "Antique Bears"
DONE!
77. Read 70 books I've never read before (20 of these must be non-fiction).
Am working on it... so far I've read 20 books I've never read before, but I only think 1 was non-fiction.
80. Finish my book-database.
I'm not sure what I want to do with this... I've entered all my books in an online database on www.bibliophil.org
81. Get juggling balls back from Mads.
Done
89. Give blood.
I do this every 3 months or so.
90. Sign up as a bone-marrow donor.

Feb 1st, 2006

Last night I spent 30 minutes decluttering the living room. I only did the top of our low bookshelves and the window sill, but it looks so good now. I've found my shining sink of the living room :-) It happened by osmosis... I cleared out two shelves for Lars to use for his stuff, and then wanted to wipe them down. While I stood with the cloth in hand, I thought I might as well do the top of the book shelves as well... only I couldn't, because there was too much clutter on them, so I started removing the things that didn't make me smile... one of those things was a candle still wrapped. I thought that would look good on the window sill, and it did, but it showed too clearly all the clutter around it, so I removed that as well, and voila! Two new clutter-free areas in my living room :-) It felt SO good going to bed, knowing I'd wake up to that in the morning. The top of the high book shelves is up next :-)

Evening:

• Cook dinner
• Do dishes
• Tidy up after dinner
• Wipe down
• 5 minute hot spot prevention
• Shine sink
• Floss
• Put out clothes for tomorrow

Morning:

• Make my side of the bed.
• Hair, face, jewellery?
• Swish toilet
• Read Bible.
• 2 minute fire drill.

101 Things in 1001 Days

Awhile back the "101 Things in 1001 Days" 'idea' popped up. I'm not all that sure it's a good idea for me to try to follow through with it - it seems so overwhelming. First of all I have NO clue what my life will look like in almost 3 years' time (which is when the 1001 days are up), secondly, won't it just be another thing I can't do and disappoint myself over?

Still, I thought it would be interesting to see which things would make the list, so I'm trying to make the list without having the least bit expectation that it'll have any influence on my every-day life ... unless of course the simple act of striking things out is enough motivation for me ;)

Most of these are routines I want to establish rather than one-time goals.

Starting Friday, January 27th, 2006 - Ending Friday, October 24th, 2008

72. Finish the sweater I'm knitting (was originally a Christmas pressie for Isabella - now I just want to finish it.)

Carefully Flying...

When talking to Anne earlier today, she told me that one of the things that had REALLY helped her get back on the Flywagon, was posting in her blog a list of her daily chores. Not just listing it once, and then having it over with, but listing it every day, and then crossing off the items as she got them done. This way, she was kept accountable.

I asked her, if this worked, and she replied YES! sooo... I thought I'd give it a go. And since I've yet to find anything to use this journal for, it may as well turn into an 'improvement journal'. I don't know if it'll work, seeing as I'm pretty much counting on no readers, and therefore nobody to have to explain to why I'm not crossing off the items. On the other hand, I can't imagine this being of any interest to anybody else - after all, I usually just skim Anne's entries - so why bore other people with them. Besides, even my boss has noticed I like crossing items off a list, so you never know ;-)

And after that insanely long and rather pointless explanation, here's my ToDo-list for tomorrow morning:

• Make my side of the bed.
• Hair, face, jewellery?
• Swish and swipe (I need a convienient place to keep the cloth)
• Read Bible (I'm getting pretty good at remembering this)
• 2 minute fire drill

It's on purpose that it's short - I'd rather feel proud of myself that I managed to complete the entire list, than crash and burn too quickly.

If - for some really strange reason - you happen to be reading this, would you please leave a comment. I'd love to know that there's somebody out there.
