Welcome, Diane! And that is a good start. :)

Yes, welcome Diane. I quite liked Still Alice and when I looked at your list above, I thought at first you gave it 1 out of 15 as its score! Much happier when I realized it was the date! Duh!

I think I'm tracking pretty well, but the year is young.

Just about the 1/4 mark on the year, and I'm right on track. I'm pretty pleased - a few of these were pretty long reads!
6iftyzaidi
25 books read and 25% of the year gone. Looking good for the 100! By the way what did you think of The Passage?
7wookiebender
Congratulations on the progress, and that's a nice list of books! A few of those on my Mt TBR...

iftyzaidi, re: The Passage -
To me, a book is good if I am still thinking about it a week or two later. It's great if I'm still thinking about it months (or even years!) later.
"The Passage" reminds me very much of King's "The Stand," which I read when it first came out and still think about. Few books have made it that many years for me!
I finished "The Passage" a few weeks ago, and I'm still thinking about it. That bodes well. It impressed me in many ways, including its avoidance of gore while still giving me a few good vampire-scares, its representation of the "good vs evil" theme, and its plot and character development.
I was left with that "WHAT HAPPENED?" feeling at the end, but then I remembered that this is part one of a trilogy.

At mid-year -- exactly on track for 100. This is fun.

I read The Passage last summer, over Labor Day weekend, and I am still having dreams/nightmares about it (just last night, actually). That Cronin - he knows what he is doing.

Blah. Not going to make 100 this year. But I earned my Masters, which was a pretty cool thing, but got in the way of my reading! Congrats to all who made your 100 or who are going to.

Oh, you got close enough! It's the books that count, not the number of them!
And many, many congratulations on your masters degree!
