Miriam's 90 - more than a book a week

[Miriam]

My challenge is to read at least a book a week (on average) this year. I am trying to read books I already own but haven't gotten around to reading yet. This means at least every second book I read this year should be one from the to-be-read pile.

Currently reading Elena Ferrante. My brilliant friend.

I came across your thread by chance and had to smile, when I read your headline.

My name is Miriam aswell and I set my goal for 52 book, too. With the almost exact same words "a book a week". :-)

I wish you the best of luck with your challenge. Happy reading!

[Miriam]

Oh, I just checked that out! Funny! Good luck on your challenge, too! It is my first book challenge year, and I am very excited about it.

That makes 27/52!

Think I might read more than the 52 I thought I would!

[Miriam]

Long time no update!

I am actually at 51/52!
Once I finished, I will set a new Goal.

This challenge has made me read even more and also read more books from the library. The only thing I didn't really get around to is to read more of the books I already owned before the beginning of the year.

[Miriam]

Because I am finished, I am changing the goal to 90 books. I don't think I will be able to read as much in the second half of the year as in the first half. So I am trying for 90 now.

[Susy]

Wow, congratulations and good luck with your new goal!

[Miriam]

Thank you! Participating in the challenge helped me to prioritize reading more again, that's why I was able to finish the first challenge already.

[Lisa]

You're doing amazing, Miriam! Best of luck with the renewed goal :)

[Miriam]

:-)

[Miriam]

I am at 85 books now and am pretty sure I'll be able to read more than 90.
But will keep it at that renewed goal of 90 anyway.
Still have to read the 800 +page book for the Popsugar challenge...
