Witchy reading challenge completed!

I have completed another reading challenge! This one was put together by Magaly, and it is to read a bunch of witchy novels. My goal was to read 13 witchy novels, and I am happy to say that I have now read 16...with more on my to read list. :)




 If you look at what I've read you may notice that I started off with the Bone books and am now back to them. Yes, I read those around new years, and am rereading that series. I wonder if a book can go on the list twice if I read it twice...?

1) Bone: Rose by Jeff Smith and Charles Vess
2) Bone: Quest for the Spark by Thomas E. Sniegoski
3) Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
4) Beka Cooper: Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce
5) Inheritance: Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 
6) The New Death and others by James Hutchings
7) Angelic by Kelly Armstrong
8) Discworld: Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
9) Daughter of the Lioness: Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce
10) Discworld: I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett
11) Hexed by Ilona Andrews
12) Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer
13) Bone: Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith

EXTRA!!!

14) Bone: The Great Cow Race by Jeff Smith
15) Bone: The Dragonslayer by Jeff Smith
16) Bone: Eyes of the Storm by Jeff Smith 

ps. I notice that the Goodreads.com widgit I've got on this blog says I've only read 16 books this year. I don't know where it's getting that, because if you click on it you'll find that I've actually  45.

Remember how I was supposed to read only 113 books? *sigh* Well, I increased my challenge to 151 because it is only May and I already read 100 books.

We need to confess, dear Sarita, we are book addicts!

P.S. I LOVE this background. Such pretty flowers!

The Gooodreads widgets are weird. The one with the RSS feed from my blog on it on my author page on Goodreads says I've only ever done about 16 posts on my blog. I've actually done something like 2345 (or somewhere around that number).

Anyway, congrats on completing the challenge!

I didn't sign up, but I've read and re-read several books which could be sonsidered "Witchy" books. I haven't been keeping score though, and if I'd read them before they don't necessarily say I read them this year on Goodreads, because I can't be bothered to sort out the "re-read" thing. But I know I've re-read:

The first 5 books in the landover series by Terry Brooks
All 7 Harry Potter books
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
Which Witch? by Eva Ibotson
The 6 books in the Chronicles Of Ancient Darkness series by Michelle Paver

And I'm in the middle of re-reading "Dead Witch Walking" by Kim Harrison

And I also read the following for the first time this year:

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett
The New Death And Others by James Hutchings

And those are just the ones that I can remember which would count for the challenge.

P.S. sorry for typos; it's getting late and I'm tired. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

If you reinstall the goodreads widget, it will update your number. I had the same problem...mine was stuck on 4. lol.
