November: Finish It Up Month

The stack of unfinished books by my bed is starting to stress me out a little. Because I read more than one book at a time, it’s easy for me to begin something and move onto something else without thinking twice about it, leaving a sad trail of unfinished books in my wake. Sometimes, in the night, I’m afraid they will topple over and crush me with the weight of their unread words. Or something metaphorical like that. Or perhaps not metaphorical. We had a bit of an earthquake the other day.

So in November, I’m giving myself a little challenge to finish the stack of unfinished books. Here’s what I’m hoping to get through:

The Word is Bigger Now by Euna Lee – page 49/292

Prayer Walk by Janet Holm McHenry – page 85/176

La Bella Lingua by Dianne Hales – page 142/290

The Stand by Stephen King – page 290/1141 (o_O)

Death and the Dancing Footman by Ngaio Marsh – page 95/307

The Waiting Place  by Eileen Button- page 35/227

The Edge of Eternity by Randy Alcorn – page 137/325

Passport Through Darkness by Kimberly L. Smith – page 12/251

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (audio) – disc 10/15

It’s time to tackle the stack!

  1. This is a great idea! My stack is getting ridiculous, too, and I know I’m not going to be able to read near as much as usual come December. I think I just may join you in your challenge, especially considering I chickened out of NaNoWriMo this year. :-)

  2. I took a break from my work book club in order to finish a few books, and then I added more to the pile! I’m in the middle of six right now, one looks similar in page count to The Stand – so I feel your pain on that one. Good luck!!!

  3. I just got twitchy looking at all those unfinished books. I couldn’t do that. I’m a one-book and one-audiobook sort of guy. (And occasionally an extra-book of short stories when I feel crazy).
