The Queen's Secret by Jean Plaidy (416 pages)
The Sweet Dove Died by Barbara Pym (208 pages)
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (306 pages)
A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (131 pages)
The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton (303 pages)
That's 5 books and 1,364 pages. I have a yearly goal of 75 books and/or 20,000 pages. This means I have 70 books and/or 18,636 pages left. Holy Cheez-it, I better get to reading!
I did pretty well keeping up with the myriad of group reads and challenges I signed up for this year. I worked on the Marple/Poirot/Holmes, Our Mutual Read, Short Story, Support Your Local Library, Tudor Book, and Year of the Historical Challenges. I also participated in a Classics Circuit read and the LOTR readalong.
February Goals:
I have an ambitious February stack of books. I made a stack of 10 titles and my goal is to read at least 7 of the books by the end of February. The books I have on docket for February are:
- Frost in May by Antonia White (in progress)
- Villette by Charlotte Bronte (in progress for a face-to-face book club)
- Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor (library book)
- The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova (Early Reviewer read)
- The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt (Victorian group read)
- Trilby by George du Maurier (this one has been lurking for 3 months on my TBR)
- I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (Between the Wars group read)
- Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien (LOTR group read)
- Girl in a Blue Dress by Gaynor Arnold (library book)
- The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson Burnett (library book)

I love the idea of having a page # goal rather than just # of books.
Read I Capture the Castle so I'll be motivated to read it, too!
Excited to hear about some of your February books - quite a few are on my tbr!
