As usual I jumped the gun. I assumed that as it was Christmas and we had the kids and the mother-in-law round that I wouldn't be getting any time for reading. How wrong I was. A quiet few hours yesterday and today allowed me to finish one book I was already two-thirds through and also start and finish another.
BOOK CHALLENGE 45/1000 (53)
Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding is a light read. It took just a couple of hours to get through this one as I have read it before. It is not hilarious but it does bring a smile to my face every few pages. I am not a fan of chick-lit books but this one is bearable. The film does stick very close to the book so if you've seen the film I wouldn't bother picking up the book. There really isn't much more in there.
BOOK CHALLENGE 46/1000 (54)
I actually started reading The King of Torts by John Grisham a few weeks ago but I got distracted and started reading others books. The Arsenal game on tv tonight gave me a couple of free hours to finish it. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous Grisham novel I had to read on the challenge. I guess because it's about mass litigation, a very American past-time, it didn't capture my imagination as much.
Let's see 3 days left and 4 books. I might reach that 50 book target after all. Now I wonder what the 4 shortest books in the challenge are!!
