Revenge by Yoko Ogawa is a fantastic Japanese read too.<br />Looking forward to more inspiration from your reviews through 2015 :-)Stephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-88574823422920984042015-02-01T04:16:10.968-08:002015-02-01T04:16:10.968-08:00Good luck to us both then Margot!Good luck to us both then Margot!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-26954468420085168662015-02-01T04:08:48.743-08:002015-02-01T04:08:48.743-08:00Col - I think it's always a good idea to re-ad...Col - I think it's always a good idea to re-adjust and set different goals.

I'll scale back the new authors a bit and try to get some more existing books read, I hope! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-54029942138937768042015-02-01T03:38:52.570-08:002015-02-01T03:38:52.570-08:00Col, of all people when you say that you have miss...Col, of all people when you say that you have missed a few targets, it's time for me to go into hiding! I think you read plenty of books in spite of falling behind on your challenges. I find you constantly experimenting with new authors. In that sense I'm quite rigid; I stick to the beaten path. Like you, I want to read some Asian and Scandinavian novels this year and I also want to read more physical books from my own collection (I'm not a member of any library — thank heavens!). In terms of new books this year, I bought just one, THE CITADEL by A.J. Cronin, one of my favourite authors. Good luck with your reading in 2015!Prashant C.

I could have been a lot worse - I still have £20 left on my voucher!<br /><br />For now trying for 5 reads 1 new book allowed!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-74713575732429910012015-02-01T01:24:46.980-08:002015-02-01T01:24:46.980-08:00Acquiring 20 books in the first month does rather ...Acquiring 20 books in the first month does rather seem like you're setting yourself up for a REALLY big commitment to restraint for the rest of the year...but it's good to have goals. I find it easier these days because I only buy from local stores and books are expensive here compared to what I could get them for if I bought from Amazon or Book Depository. But I still have a huge TBR (181 as at the end of January) and I toddle off the library nearly every week...but at least I take those back :)<br /><br />Good luck with your 2015 reading...whether you achieve your goals or not I hope you enjoy the books.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
