Thanks Ashley!! I counted audio books into my total and the admin never said anything, so I'm guessing you can count them

Congrats Jennifer on reaching your goal

@Ashley. There are no rules against counting audiobooks that I can see, I do count them.
It's your challenge, you decide how many books, pages, etc. I guess it's up to you if you want to include audiobooks :)

[Jennifer]

Thanks Kiwi!! Never thought I'd make either of my goals so this shocked me. I have not been in a very good mood for the last month with my battle of depression and all that has happened in my life personally. Though still struggling with issues I try to put aside so time for reading

OK so I'm in. Late to the party, but well on my way anyhow. My reading is a mix of e-books which sometimes don't even show page counts (AMZ Kindle can be fond of "location" instead of page), audio books which of course don't show page count and good old fashioned dead-tree. So I'm not committing to pages, because I'm not sure how I'd do that (and I'd likely be terrible at tracking it, also).

Consequently, I will commit to a book count (Q - can I update this goal later?) My annual goal is 48, so my quarterly goal is 12 - and add 4 short stories / novelettes to that goal.

Short Story - Touring with the Alien, Carolyn Ives Gilman, 3 stars
Short Story - The Tomato Thief, Ursula Vernon, 4 stars
Short Story - You'll surely drown here if you stay, Alyssa Wong, 5 stars

Novelette - The Jewel and her Lapidary, Fran Wilde, 4 stars

Novel - A Conspiracy of Faith, Jussi Adler-Olson, 5 stars
Novel - Still Life, Louise Penny, 5 stars
Novel - My Sister's Grave, Robert Dugoni, 3 stars

*The above are completed* ^^^

DONE - Novel - The Buried Book, D.M. Pulley
DONE - Novel - Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
DONE - Novel - Florida Roadkill, Tim Dorsey
DONE - Novel - The Book Thief, Markus Zusak
DONE - Novel - The Long and Faraway Gone, Lou Berney
DONE - Novel - The Stone Sky, N.K. Jemisin
DONE - Novel - The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern

Up next was: Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner - finished 10-1
Following that was: We are all Completely Fine, Daryl Gregory - finished 10-2

DONE - Novel - Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner*
DONE - Novel - We are all Completely Fine, Daryl Gregory*

* The last two entries were marked completed on 10-1 and 10-2, but that's close enough for me! A family crisis cost me more than a week of reading time - and both of the last two were 95% read in September. I'm counting them! :)

Final totals, 12 novels; 1 novelette; 3 short stories
