- Start date
2 poster books done, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Got 3 on the go, Nelson Mandela, The War of the Worlds and The Handmaid's Tale. I'll probably finish the War of the Worlds one this week as it's only 200 pages and on kindle so I can read it at work. The Handmaid's Tale is an audiobook borrowed from the library so I need to listen to that.

Love The War of the Worlds.... you sould listen to the soundtrack full blast in darkness after reading it!!
I've paused on the Nelson Mandela book, until I've finished a few of the ones I've started. I borrowed a few ebooks from the so want to get those read first.
I'm now over halfway through The Handmaid's Tale.
I'm also reading Northanger Abbey, The Marlow Murder Club, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Jacob's Room is Full of Books.
I've got Before the Year Dot on loan too but haven't started that yet.

I gave up on trying to read Jacob's Room is Full of Books.
Read Before the Year Dot, going to try and finish The Handmaid's Tale by the end of the month.

The audiobook is read by Helena Bonham Carter, and I didn't know what to expect from her, but she's not over the top like a lot of her characters are, so it's a good listen.
I've worked out that to get it to 12 books a year, I need to do another 10 books this year, which I think is doable. I've got Anne Frank and The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat on the go, Wild Swans is reserved for March on the library audiobook app.
Just scratched off book 21/100 Notes From A Small Island.
Wild Swans is due on Friday, so in the meantime I'll continue to read the Nelson Mandela biography.
March will be a slower month for books as both Wild Swans and Nelson Mandela are quite hard, big books to read.
I'm also reading Anna Karenina, but won't finish that for ages yet as I'm only about 100 pages into it.

Started on Lord of the Rings, I've never managed to finish this series before, so it's still on the poster to do. I'm doing a chapter a day with it.
Now up to page 200 with Anna Karenina so still on track to finish it by the end of the year!
I'm feeling more short books at the moment though as I'm struggling to get things read.
I'm currently at 34 books read so far this year, I'm going to up my target to 52 books, that's all books not just ones for the poster.
