So though I said I wasn’t going to get involved in any more challenges, I couldn’t resist this one as it is such a simple idea. I’ve been thinking quite carefully about what to set myself as goals, and I’ve come up with the following:
- to read the following books left over from RIP III challenge:
- Duma Key by Stephen King
- Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
- Come Closer by Sara Gran
- Midwinter of the Spirit by Phil Rickman
- to finish Jigs and Reels by Joanne Harris which I started reading way back when?
- to finish The Mandlebaum Gate which I abandoned earlier this year, and kick-start my Muriel Spark readathon once again
- to read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman as soon as I get my sticky paws on it
- to find enough books in addition to these, and make the time to read them, so that I hit my 52 books in 52 weeks goal
That looks like enough to get on with, I think!

You have some excellent goals there. I saw the movie “something wicked this way comes”. I really should read the book.
Have fun reading!

Thanks Robin, I saw the movie too and absolutely loved it; I’m really looking forward to seeing what the book is like, and whether it’s different.

I like your goals! I have to go check this challenge out….and link your review of The Terror to mine….and get some reading done! I especially like your goal of reading 52 books in 52 weeks. Emminently sensible, I think! I am in awe of those who have read over 100 books already this year! Let me know what you think of Midwinter of the Spirit, since I’ve read it already.
