Congratulations on reaching 200! I just reached my goal of 160 last night – instead of changing it again I think I'm going to keep it where it is this time 🙂

I am glad to see you managed to get out of your slump, and 200 books already, well done!! That is amazing. Flowers in the attick, that brings back memories. I read it when I was twelve or something and was gripped, but when I reread it recently I could not be bothered anymore. Curious to see how you like it again, Kind regards,

I'm about four books away from my goal — of 75! Yeah, ONLY 75 *rolling eyes* ;). But really, I'll be glad to get there — when I do. I'm still happy with what I've been able to read this year.

Congrats on achieving your reading goal! 200 books, eh? That's incredible. I've read 101 books so far this year, marking the first time I've hit the 100 books read in one year milestone. I'm curious to know what you think of Flowers in the Attic now that you're an adult? I loved V.C. Andrews stuff when I was a tween.

200 books is fantastic! Congrats on reading your goal. I wouldn't worry too much about not posting reviews. December is always a front row seat to Crazytown. Love Water Memory looks interesting. I will have to come back and see what you thought! 🙂

I am not sure how I feel about The Scent of Pine. On one hand, it sounds amazing; on another, it sounds depressing as hell. What do you think of it?

200 is amazing!! I was telling my book club ladies that I've read 100 and they thought that was an astronomical number. I was like…not at all…you should see what some bloggers manage to get through in one year.
