How Many Books Did You Read in 2015?

[Charlene]

I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't keep a list, but after reviewing my kindle books and my library book history, I read somewhere around 106 books this year. I will be making a better list this year. Look forward to trying to accomplish this challenge.

[Mary]

By my current count, I've finished 85 as of today. Although I'm pretty sure it's been a slow reading year for me, and since I also didn't join Goodreads until a few months ago (for the purpose of keeping track of what I read, of course), I probably read a few more this year that I missed. :)

[Ruth]

68 but want to up my game without losing ground by reading too quickly. Frustrated that I don't read faster than I currently do.

[Sierra]

I've read (& recorded) 155 books this year, and I'm hoping to squeeze in a few more before the year is out :)

[Fiction]

I really have no idea, but I probably average about four or five a week. Maybe I could do the challenge twice! :-)

I only started using Goodreads seriously a few months ago, so next year will be a good chance to work out just how many I read. On second thoughts, maybe that isn't such a good idea...

[Govi]

I can't put an official number on it because most of my reading has been for coursework. However, I'd say that I've read the equivalent of about 30 or 40 books. Looking forward to busting that number into tiny little shards this year.

[Kari]

I only finished 48 in 2015, but I'm hoping to at least double that in the new year. Having this challenge should light a fire under me.

[Maggie]

I read like 4 books last year. Planning to read 100 in 2016. Hopefully I can finish this challenge.

[Quinn]

I read 124 but DNFed several others.

[Rebecca]

160 in 2015.

[J.]

Not sure exactly my count, but about 1 a week, so this will be a challenge for me! Looking forward to it!

[Natasha]

For the first half of the year I did well, reading maybe 10 or 20 books, but the second .... 0. We all have to finish an average of 1.9 books a week to complete the 100 inside the year.

Looking forward to getting back to reading. It was all I did as a kid ... now if I could just get my teenager to read 1 book I'd be real happy. Do magazines count?

[Elisabeth]

I read 93 books in 2015. That counts a handful of shorter works like novellas and Kindle Singles, and 12 of them were re-reads.

[Hope]

I read 80ish, but I'm not really sure how many I really read cause I started using Goodreads a couple months into the year. Hopefully I'll have enough time to read this year with school and all. *crosses fingers*

[Diana]

47

[C.B.]

I finished 76 books last year, but I think I could hit a hundred. Especially if textbooks count.

[Shantelle]

I read 141 books in 2015 ... but I have a feeling this year will be busier!

My goal for this year is 120 books. Hopefully I'll at least reach 100! :)

[Joanne]

I read 52 new books in 2016 (that is, chapter books or older) I also read roughly 150 picture books, a few dozen early readers, plus I reread a handful novels. This year I'm going to try to use goodreads to keep track of every single book.

[JennyR]

I read 248 "for fun" books in 2015. I am hoping for about the same in 2016.

[Randy]

I read 110 books in 2015. Some were short stories, most were full length books.
