Look at you go, Joy! Almost there!

[Joy]

I know!!! I can't believe I'm SOOO close!! I didn't think I'd even make my challenge this year, but I may actually surpass it!! I keep telling myself to relax and focus on some other projects I want to do, cuz I am 9 books ahead on my challenge as of now, but I finish one book and reach right for another. I almost feel addicted!! Lol!

That's great, Joy! You'll definitely go past 75! I always have to be reading something. Very rarely do I take actual time off between books. Maybe a night. Lol. I do other things but I'd rather be reading, :)

Joy, you definitely are reading up a storm this year! It's not a bad addiction to have . . .

Well! I met my challenge! I have now set my goal to 80, and I have about 6 more books I had put on a pre selected list for the year to get to. I'm pretty sure I should get to them.

I was trying to make it to an even 85 for the year, but with holiday stuff, I don't see that happening. I am also in a huge reading slump. I can't seem to get into any books! For example: It took me 19 days to read Enders Game! And it was only 386 pages!!! That's like a week long read (if that!), not almost a 3 week long read! Now I'm reading Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs. a fun, holiday read, and I thought my pace would pick up a bit. I'm on p.166 of 241, and I started it almost a week ago!! So only about 27 pages read a day! So I will not be seeing #85 this year! =( Merry Christmas everyone!!

I read one Orson Scott Card book and I'm not sure I like the way he writes. I still want to try the Ender series though. Two books away?! You can do it!
