Tell me about it! I failed at your Venice challenge, my TBR challenge is failing as well. But at least I am still in the run with Birgit's chunkster challenge. My own Narnia project? Oh, wll, after the first book which was not as great as I hoped, I have lost a bit interest in it myself. How bad is that?
Now that I look back, having written this post a week ago, I am starting to think that I did pretty well, taking into consideration how busy I was and still am with school... Anyway, Rikki, there's more than half a year to catch up on anything you want, including The Museum of Innocence :))
Just joined Tamara (Thyme for Tea) and Karen (Bookbath)'s Paris in July 2012 challlenge. I'm hoping to read Francois Sagan's Bonjour, Tristesse and perhaps more. It puts me in mind of our Venice in February Challenge which I want to co-host with you again this February. Realizing that's far down the road from now... ;)
There's a Paris in July challenge? I will be in Paris in July, reading The Last Time I Saw Paris, how funny is that? :))
You'd love Francoise Sagan! I also recommend her memoir :)
That's a lot of challenges! Do you read anything outside that too? I started really well with my challenges at the beginning of the year but have moved on a bit ... to other challenges!
I did managed to read outside these challenges, for example Barnes' "Nothing to be frightened of", which I loved :) Thanks for stopping by :)
