ella Seriously?!


message 2: by ella (new)

ella No, it's just because it's only been three months and you've already read that many books! And look at me... Five.


message 3: by ella (new)

ella Well I usually only get half-an-hour to read every day, because of homework, school... and, well, goodreads.


message 4: by ella (new)

ella During school we have 20-30 minutes to read. Like, we're told to by our English teacher. Whatever book we want, not just a textbook. Not everyone enjoys it, but I definitely do. One girl pretends to be read and has the book not open facing the teacher and has her iPod hidden in the book playing on apps but yeah, pretending to read.

Mariah (bizarrebrunette) Mine is 25 but I think I will pass it this year!

My challenge this year is to read 30 books. I've already read 13! I read: Divergent, Avalon, Throne of Glass, The Rogue Knight, Insurgent, The Maze Runner, OZ: The Complete Collection Volume 1, A Tale Dark & Grimm, The Bungalow Mystery, The Wicked Will Rise, Dorothy Must Die: Stories, Crown of Midnight, and The Hunger Games. I'm reading Snow Like Ashes and Catching Fire right now. But I'm so sick of cliffhangers! :(

I've successfully completed my goal for this year!!!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow, already? I'm more than halfway through.

My goal was 100, and I've read 110.


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

You read crazy fast.

That's what I hear for every single being on this earth!


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

How do you even read so fast, seriously?


message 14: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Actually, I took more time. I finished the same goal in 3 months last year.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

No offense, but how many words do you read per page? 100 books in 3 months seems pretty impossible to me.

Four years back, I tested my speed and it was about 514 per minute.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

How did you test your speed?

There was this person who cam to our school and conducted it. Later, our teacher did that same.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Just took an online test, apparently I read 170 words per minute!

170? That's not bad. My brother's must be 1 per year.


message 21: by Stacy (new)

Stacy Urbany | 39 comments Hallie do you read every word on every page? My friend reads crazy fast and a lot of books but she told me she doesn't read every word and some times skips little bits. I can't do that I have to read everything. Then when we talk about it sometimes she doesn't know what I'm talking about because thats a part she skipped.

I read everything. Unless if it's really boring, I might skip parts which put me to sleep.

Lol!"


He is so slow that last year, he asked me how many I read. I told him that I read 251, and he almost fell down. When I asked him his challenge, he said,"22." I laughed so loud that he was really jealous.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow! But didn't you say 514 before?


message 26: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

That was words.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh, 251 books!
