How many have you read? (Reading the books on our group bookshelf) Showing 351-400 of 1,453

[Celeste]

I've read 79 out of 159. Some of those I read so long ago that I haven't even marked them as read on GoodReads, because I need to reread them, but I did read them once upon a time. And just about all of the rest are on my TBR list. I'm working on it!

32 so far ...

Our group has a way of encouraging and expanding our reading! That's why this group is awesome! :)

[Pink]

Exactly!

I have read 31 books, noting I didn't finish Don Quixote and Watership Down. That was helpful too, as I noticed one classic I had marked as read (which was incorrect) and another I hadn't marked as read. :)

Great way to view things and so true! Plus, some of us have had more reading mileage under our belt, so to speak.

In my opinion, one should never view reading as a contest, as that would only serve to take some of the pleasure out of the experience.

[Paula W]

I think when I last posted here two months ago I had read 40. I'm up to 56 right now and feeling like a champ.

[Kristen]

That's awesome Paula. Alas, I have only read 35....lots of great reading ahead!

[Terris]

Wow, Paula! You are a champ! That's a lot of additions in a short time!

Moving right along! Excellent Paula! :)

[Paula W]

Thanks, guys!! It has been really awesome.

[Pink]

Wow Paula, you really are flying through our bookshelf! At this rate you'll be half done by Christmas!

[Karen]

Great going Paula, Keep up the good work,

[[deleted user]]

Impressive! Good to hear you're enjoying yourself :)

[Duane]

Well, it was a slow month. I read only one book on the bookshelf.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.

Currently at 127/162

[Terris]

I have read 121/162, and several marked "want to read." Mansfield Park and Tender is the Night are on my list for November so, will keep reading!

That's impressive! I am only at 63. Granted, I had read only a few of these at this point last year and made a concerted effort. I still have a long way to go, but it is proving to be an excellent journey!

Thanks, Paula! 63 is great too, and isn't it fun?!
I have no idea of your age, and I'm not exactly 1000 yrs old -- but I've been working on this for about 45 years!!! So, all I can say is:
Just Keep Reading and enjoy it as you go :)

[Bruce]

I've read 25 that I have recorded on Goodreads. This list is a great motivator!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Motivator is a good way to describe this entire group for me.

[siriusedward]

Very true...
And when you are in a reading slump, its nice to read the different threads in here

That's the best thing about this group for me Bruce, the motivation to read, read, read!!! :)

[Amanda]

I've only read 49. Clearly I have some work er reading to do ;-)

[Hailee]

Oh dear I've only read 10 (and currently reading one more). Hopefully I'll be able to increase that number next year!

[Loretta]

Relax everyone! Everyone's numbers are excellen! Way to go!!! :)

[Alkmini]

Well done on another book crossed off the list!

[Myst]

Wow, I've jumped from a maybe of 15 in July 2015 to 44? 12 of them were from this year too.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hey, good job on that Myst.

[Pink]

Well done Myst, those numbers sneak up on you! Great job :)

[Sue]

In my last post I was at 32 out of 159 two months ago and I said that my goal was to reach 25% by the end of the year and I did it! I'm at 42 of 165.

I'm taking December off from reading classics unless I sneak in an audio book or two. I want to read some books I got last Christmas before this Christmas gets here.

[Pink]

Well done Sue, that's great progress in a short amount of time!

[Olivia]

I reached 62. Hopefully I can add a few more next year.

[Nente]

107 already! Missed the round number coming up. Probably because the group chose to read books I've already read.
There are still several books on the shelf which I have not the least intention of reading (like Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, no thanks), but otherwise lots of inspiration still! Some of my to-reads from the group shelf feel already like old friends despite the fact that I haven't gotten to them yet.

[Pink]

Wow, great job Nente!

[RachelvlehcaR]

I only have 65 I've read on the list but have a bunch I'd like to get to this year. :)

[Bat-Cat]

As of 1/1/17, I have read 54 of 168 books (32%). At the start of last year my numbers were 34 of 130 books (26%). This is definitely an improvement if ever so slight. ;-)

[Pink]

That's a great achievement!

[April]

I've read 55 and have plans for a couple more next year.
