MK (wisny) | 2579 comments I found this thread when I was looking through old threads, looking for Contemporary Classics definition *grin*.

I started to count, shortly after I joined, in Trisha's "Catching Up Challenge", but I'm not sure now, how many.

Here's our bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

What's YOUR number? :D

I just did a quick scan. I think I'm at 30 ... and maybe (hopefully) Clockwork and Mockingbird and Solitude and Adventures of Sherlock, next, will bring me to 34 next month.

I've read 18 of them since joining this group!! :-o (wow!)

Reading By MyShelf (reading_by_myshelf) | 1 comments Sad to say I have only read 6!! I own many more of them that I just have not read yet. Even more reason I am glad I joined this group.

To date 45 of 84. Hope to add a few more by the end of the year.


message 27: by Katelyn (new)

Katelyn Shaver (wayako) | 6 comments 20/84...looks like I have my work cut out for me. There are plenty more books on the shelf that I need to read and explore. :)


message 28: by Leanne (new)

Leanne (littlebunnylibrary) | 15 comments I've only read 12, and I consider myself quite well-read when it comes to classics! Oh well, it'd be a pretty sad state of affairs if I had nothing else on my to-read list :)


message 29: by Kristi (new)

Kristi (kristicoleman) 13/84...but I have a shockingly large number of them on my TBR. Yay!


message 30: by Connie (new)

Connie Cote I was surprised to find that I have read 55/84 and have several more on my shelf and/or TBR list.

You three seem to have read the most so far, Bob, Connie, and Cleo. I'm not surprised at all, Connie! You almost always read all of the monthly reads, I've noticed.

Maddie (shoegirl81) | 62 comments 14/84. Somehow I thought it would be less, to be honest.


message 37: by Melanti (new)

Melanti | 1894 comments 41 and two halves.


message 38: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Okay, I counted this up.

I read 8 while in high school (30 years ago)
I read 13 either for fun during school or after school and before Good Reads.
I read 11 after Good Reads.


message 39: by Robyn (new)

Robyn 21! Not too bad, but definite room for improvement.


message 40: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Oh, yes! There are many books I look at and think, why didn't we read that in school? I can always improve. I feel sorry for people that don't read books. They're missing so much!


message 41: by Janet (new)

Janet (jangoodell) I'm on my 40th. I will be reading several of them by June.

Hi, and welcome, Ann! (I think I remember seeing you in the War & Peace threads, not sure if I said hello tho :) )

Totally doesn't suck, Stephanie! You have lots of good reading to be discovered, hopefully :)


message 50: by Richard (new)

Richard 44 of 84 for me. I think those who have read only a few are to be envied - think of all the enjoyment ahead!
