ted74ca's ready for the 2015 Challenge

I was a member of the 2014 group and passed the challenge easily last year (99 books!). However, as I've resolved to be a bit less reclusive and a bit more social this year, I doubt I will get that many books read this time around.

My first read of 2015 is Adult Onset by Ann-Marie MacDonald, who is one of my favourite Canadian authors, though I must say that I thought this book was definitely in need of a severe editing. I sort of enjoyed it, but found it too long and too repetitive, by far.

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Terry!

Sorry I missed your thread last year, Terry. I look forward to seeing what you read in 2015!

Really enjoyed the book I finished today, ahead of my monthly book club meeting later this week: The Gendarme by Mark T. Mustian. Highly recommended-it's based on the genocide of the Armenians in Turkey during the first World War.

@73. Yep! Just squeaked in one last book just in the nick of time.

Congrats!

76. Thanks! Considering I moved twice this past year (once to an entirely new town) and also changed jobs, I'm amazed I managed to get that many books read-the year before, I think I had 100 books to my credit.
