Keely’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I finished my second book The Beach which I listened to as an audiobook.
The next couple of audiobooks I have lined up are fairly short so I might end up with a few more off my list by the end of next week.

After a quick google search, I learned that this book has 361 chapters in total. So in theory you could read a chapter a day and have a few days left at the end of the year after you finish.

I’ve only read the first chapter so far, but now I know this, I am going to try and read at least one chapter a day, at least until I get to an interesting part :p

Woah, removing 200 books is still a huge achievement! I went through my TBR list the other day and only removed about 4.

Laurie wrote: "Awesome! I wish I could finish an audiobook in a week. I'm always running into my library audiobooks expiring after three weeks, lol! But that's because I usually only listen to them when I drive."

Ah, I'm lucky and can listen to them at work which is only part time, but I can usually get around 9-10 hours listening a week just from work and as I usually listen to them on x1.5 speed, it helps squeeze a book in.

I finished my first book The Fellowship of the Ring at the end of last week, which was one of my earliest added books.
I hope to have another finished by the end of the week.

I also realised that if I listen to an audiobook a week, then that would be 52 books. So I am now aiming to listen to at least one a week, most of which I want to try to do from my TBR list. This will most likely be a lot of classics as those are what I added a lot of when I first joined and they are also easier to get a hold of.

In theory, I will get a lot of my list this year if I stick to this and read physical books too!

I also just went on a deleting spree and deleted about 10 books bringing my TBR back under 900.
I should also finish my first book for this year either tonight or tomorrow and I am also reading the book that has been the oldest book on my TBR for many years so it feel so good to finish it. (I finally got a hold of a copy and it will also finally finish a seires!!)

I plan to start of reading the kindle version I purchased, but I will probably end up switching to an audiobook copy if I fall behind, which I probably will...

I squeezed in the final one. The End which I guess is a fitting title to the end of the year and an end of a decade. It was also the last book in a series.

Happy New Year everyone and I look forward to seeing you all next year!

I managed to read 36 when my goal was 25. I am still going to try and finish one last book before midnight, but I'm not sure it will happen. Oh well, if it doesn't then it'll be my first book for the 2020 challenge.

I love a challenge, so I'll give this a go.

I've managed to get my TBR list down to 907 from around the 920 it was a couple of weeks ago. Most of those were very short books. I should get another one or two off by the end of the year. I would love to get it down to 900, but I just don't have the time or energy at the moment with work (I work in retail) and trying to fit in family time.

I am hoping to finish one more off my list for this year which would also complete a series.

I would like to give this one a go. I will try and go for 30. Many of the books on my list are part of a series so I have to adapt it slightly to make the goal possible.

It is unlikely that I will choose to remove more than a few of these books, but in the case that I do, I will randomly generate a new number to add a different book.
