Books going with me:
- My Kindle so I can finish reading CARDS ON THE TABLE by Agatha Christie. Of course I could also tackle some of the other 80+ unread books I already have stored on it.
- Also a p-book: BEAT NOT THE BONES by Charlotte Jay so that I can finish the 2010 Global Reading Challenge.
- I'm also going to put UNHALLOWED GRAVE by Kate Ellis in - it is a library book due back this week.
- And I think I'll put my iPod in (and some headphones) so I can finish THE FORGOTTEN MAN by Robert Crais which I'm half way through.
- Perhaps I'll also be able to get around to something for the Canadian Reading Challenge - I've got some on my Kindle.
2011 Global Reading ChallengeDorte has been fleshing out the bones of the 2011 Global Reading Challenge - I'm sure it will be popular. I have found that this year it has encouraged me to read outside my usual fare.
Posts in the last week:
- Haunted Computer Books: A Mystery to Me
- Forgotten Book: A PERFECT MATCH, Jill McGown
- Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Blog Carnival for November
- Poll reflects steady growth in e-reading.
- Review: DISINTEGRATION, Scott Nicholson
- Short Story Writing Challenge
- Review: CHILD'S PLAY, Reginald Hill - audio
I'm now aiming at 125 titles, and I think I will get there - I'm sitting on 118.
How about you?

Have a great trip!
Have a great time. My Vet moved to Tasmania right after 911. Set up a practice there. I read a wonderful mystery by a Tasmanian writer a few years ago.. title escapes me. Will try to remember
Kerrie - Have a very safe trip! You've got some good reading along with you :-).
Have a safe trip. Hobart...wasn't that in the Harry Potter stories...no, no, can't be.
:>)
Happy travels.
Maria
I wonder if you´ll notice you are in Hobart ;D
Thank you for advertising the Global Reading Challenge. I will write a post about it in a day or two when I think I have finished polishing off the rules. (They seem to matter to some of the participants; to be honest what matters to me is that people pick books from new places).
Have a great trip! I just went away for the weekend with my ereader for the first time. I still took two books, but I read 3 on the e-reader so I love it even more.
Target wise, I was aiming for 150, and I have 143 at the moment so I am thinking I am going to make it.
Janet you might be thinking of DINING WITH DEVILS by Gordon Aalborg
Have a great trip. Tasmania. Wow. It sounds SO exotic thinking on it from here in New Jersey. I found a gorgeous vintage travel poster online recently - Travel to Tasmania. I'm holding off posting some vintage posters I found until the new year. They are simply great for dreaming. And here you are, Kerrie, actually off to Tasmania. :)
