I am alre..."Fair warning, the "True Blood" books aka The Sookie Stackhouse series aka The Southern Vampire Mysteries is NOTHING like the tv show, in case you didn't know. The books have far less sex and violence. But they are more enjoyable in my opinion. Have you started reading them yet? Do you like them?
I decided on 200 books this year as I have already read 103. Any recommendations?
The silent wife is a huge favorite of mine Jessica! If u haven't read it yet I totally reccommend it!
Great job, Colleen!I've read 47 out of my 50. I expect that I'll finish my challenge in the next week or two. I may increase my goal.
Thanks Agatha! I am going to start that book later today :)
My goal last year was 200 and I actually made my goal this year we're going for 150!
Just updated my goal to 50 books!
I'm a little late in getting started and have never challenged myself before but I decided that this year my goal is to read 12 books. I didn't want to overwhelm myself. So far I've read two. Moving along slowly but surely :)
50 books done! I've reached my goal for this year!! :D
I'm on 29 out of 35 books. I think I'm going to make it. But I have decided to not up my numbers if/when I meet my challenge everything after that is just for fun. (Not that I haven't enjoyed myself this far but you know what I mean..I hope)

34 out of 35!!!! Go me!!! Last year I read like 26 or something so I'm happy. And I can now say with certainty that I met my goal! Hooray!
I am aiming for 75. My first time at this and I have no idea what I will actually do. I tend to read 1.5 a week, so this should be attainable.

The Rook was definitely very interesting. Rather long and winding but I didn't find myself bored, just traveling in a different direction than I thought I was.
Fangirl was also fantastic! I couldn't believe how much I loved that book. Fantasy and reality blended into one.
