Sounds like loads of fun. I don't know whether to be happy or upset that my school books haven't arrived yet. They always seem to be late for me. I prefer reading and writing to homework or studying any day of any week.

Sorry about the duplicate messages, my internet hates me.
Mod
It is such a relief to know it doesn't happen to only me. I was starting to wonder if the internet had some special vendetta against me or something haha.
Mod
I am just happy to know it isn't only me.
Hi, my name is Alice. How is everyone? :)
Hey everyone! I've been looking for some new groups to join & I was drawn to this one. I'm looking for some advice! My goal was to read 50 books this year but I'm not even half way. I need to read a book and a half a week & I have no clue how I'm going to do that! Someone please help!
Mod
Kelsey, firstly, welcome to the group! :) I hope you like it. I'd like to stress that if you're too busy to read 50 books, you need not compel yourself to read so much. You can lower your goal if you want. However, if you really want to do your 50 books goal, then you will have to make time to read in your schedule. Since I'm a fast reader, I can read one book a day. Hence, I've never faced this problem. But don't get the idea that you can complete it only if you're a fast reader. All you have to do is read. Starting with, I'd suggest dedicating some time to read. 30 minutes - 1 hour is perfect. Some people read just before going to bed, and I think that is a good plan. Also, if you're motivated to read, then you can complete your challenge with ease. I'd suggest joining buddy reads and reading challenges. We have buddy reads here, but we have just one reading challenge now, although I am making plans to bring in more. Then reading splurges are a nice idea too. This is where you fix a certain time to read with another person (let's say from 5:00 to 5:30 - for 30 minutes), then you come back and discuss how much you've read and how it was. Also, read during free time and weekends. It's a good way of relaxing for normal routines. Remember you don't have to force yourself to read; you can read whenever you have time. Besides, Goodreads is not going to hire assassins to get rid of those who haven't completed their challenge, so keep calm and read at your own pace :)
Mod
I'd appreciate it if you went here and answered the questions for ideas on reading challenges.
So I have a problem: I don't like YA books (with the exception of Harry Potter and some books I read as a youth myself). Everyone I know seems to love them. I've tried reading many, and some I thought were well constructed (The Fault in Our Stars) but I just can't seem to get on the bandwagon. I'm wondering if I'm a freak of nature, or if we just like what we like and it's that simple. I'd love your thoughts! And maybe suggestions of your favorite YA books that I might like? I'm not a sci-fi or fantasy woman either, so I know that limits things.
Mod
Well, you don't have to force yourself to like YA. Everyone's tastes vary, so don't worry about it. Many love romance, but I hate it.
But if you do want to try out some books, I'd recommend Divergent, Inkheart, The Hunger Games (my personal favourites)
If you'd prefer the Fault in Our Stars setting, then I think Me Before You deserves a try.
