¥¥Gigi’s Corner Nook For 2018:55!¡

[Gwen S.]

Last year was so dismal, I had to shamefully adjust my year end goal down from 102 to 52 books... why?? I started watercoloring/ painting, and multitasking two very time consuming, intense hobbies is nearly an impossible feat. My sub challenges slowly fell by the roadside, tsk, tsk! So this year, I will continue to read and review my novels, without the numerous group challenges, but I am sorry that I would not be interacting with some of the best moderators in the world! Thank you, GR Moderators/Team!
See you all on the flip side of 2019! ;-)

[Gwen S.]

My simplified goal is to complete 55 books in 2018, while turning 10,000 pages and successfully fulfilling the A-Z Title year long challenge!

[Waco]

You got this!

Completed Goodreads January 2018 Marathon Challenge! Yipeeeee!!!!

Read 11/10 books, and turned 2,928/2,500 pages pledged. This number, 2928 pages, is slightly under 30% of my allotted pages pledged to be turned for the year.

While my GR A-Z Title Challenge, got off to an amazing start as I was able to check off 11/26 letters. C, E, G, L, N, O, S, T, U, V, and Y! I am immersed into Barbara Freethy’s Callaway series; the stories and characters are interesting as well as gravity defying.

Now onto February 2018!
... And to my fellow readers, keep doing what brings you joy!

[Susy]

Wow, you're on a roll Gwen!
Have a great February! May it be as amazing as your January! :)

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

Hoping you had fun getting lost in some pages in your first month!

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

You are doing great! Hoping March is a smashing success for you.

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

A book is a dream that you hold in your hand. I hope that April brings you many more five star reads. Do you have a stand out book so far this year?

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

You are doing great! I hope May is a fantastic month filled with books and sunshine!

[Gwen S.]

Blagic: I have been reading but not keeping abreast with my little corner. Tsk,tsk!

Between August 2018 -November 2018, I have turned 6,628 pages! I should be close to my targeted goal of 10,000 pages.

[Gwen S.]

With a still few weeks left in December, I have met and surpassed my reading goal of 55 books by four (107.3%) , and turned 14,737 pages out of my 10,000 page goal (147.4%). Still have to complete my A-Z Title challenge with 23/26 done, and very close to completion of the novel 'Orphan X' for letter X. Leaving letters, K & Z, to finish up the year with. I have the books chosen, which is usually half the battle. ;-)

[Gwen S.]

Read 59/55 books, turned 14,737/10/000 pages, and completed 23/26 of the A-Z Title challenge. Just finishing up letter X-'Orphan X', then onto letters K and Z. Those titles have been chosen. May end up moving my goal on pages turned, before the year is out.

[Gwen S.]

K- Kiss Me Forever by Barbara Freethy /Completed 24/26 A-Z Title Challenge.
Still on Orphan X and will start Z- ‘Zoo Shots 2’ by James Patterson and Max DiLallo.

[Gwen S.]

I have found a new series to dive into in 2019,'The Nowhere Man' by Gregg Hurwitz. Gravity defying!

[Gwen S.]

Late entrance into ‘The Color Challenge’ group, completed 13/13 from the total of 15. May recheck to see if I have read books meeting the last two criteria. Msg #918 to be updated!
I must remember to join this in 2019.

[Gwen S.]
