Shelf-A-Thon Round 2!

[Sara ♥]

What can I say? I'm an unemployed, reading fool! Plus, I'm doing the Fall Seasonal Challenge (formerly TNBBC), and so I've been going reading-crazy with that. I've read 159 books this year... which is INSANE.

Insane indeed. Some people would tell you to get a life, but nobody believe this kind of things here. I´d say go get glasses, you´ll need them girl!! lol

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Insane, yes. Are we all jealous? YES!! (Not of your being unemployed, just your ability to read 159 books in a year.) So far I am up to 6 per month, which seems to be the best I can do. Even then, my husband thinks it is way too much, lol.

[Sara ♥]

I've had glasses since the 7th grade... haha!

But yeah... only about 10 of those are little kiddo books or whatnot. I'm actually a really slow reader (I read about a PAGE a minute, which is just... SO SO SLOW...) so that's even more than it seems... And I skipped the summer reading challenge... maybe only read 10 books over the summer.... I did do the winter, spring, and now fall challenges... which is crazy-go-buts! Oye... oye oye oye... I need to get a life... If only I could get PAID for reading... (Do you think I could be a YA editor with an engineering degree? Hahah...)

[Sara ♥]

Grr... just found another error in the spreadsheet. Cell A2 should be: =COUNT(C357:CX357)

[Amanda]

I would like to give this challenge a shot.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I will fix my copy. Thanks Sara.

[Summer]

I'm in for another go!

[Roseann]

Count me in, I'm a glutton for punishment ;-)!!

[Sally]

I'll be participating in this round as well! Can't wait! Hopefully I won't have any reading lulls the way I did this first time around.

[Shelby]

meme! pick me!

[Dalene]

I wasn't going to participate a second time, but have changed my mind. Count me in!!

[Foxy Grandma]

I would like to try this again. Life kept me from reading or being online much since the middle of August. Hopefully that has all calmed down now.

[Usako]

Lyn, I'd love a copy of the spreadsheet! *squeaks*

So exciting! Reminds me I need to update my list this evening. I finished a slew of books recently.

[Adrienne]

Count me in again.

[Susanna]

Start: November 1, 2009 You can start the book on October 31st, but you cannot be finished with it until November 1st or after.

Angela,
Just to clarify: you cannot have started your first book prior to October 31st? I just finished a book which I didn't finish for Round 1 so I was hoping I could use it for Round 2 but I started it over a week ago.

[Angela]

Actually a lot of people do read multiple books at a time, so I will amend the rules so that as long as the book is finished during the three months it qualifies.

[Angela]

I have had a lot of people say they wanted to participate, but a lot of those people are not posting. If you have changed your mind, that is fine and I am not trying to badger you. Just wondering where you are... :)
Please feel free to message me with any questions, suggestions or concerns you many have about this challenge. Or post it here if you would like. I know it is a simple challenge, but any thoughts are welcomed! I do not want this to get smaller each go around, actually just the opposite. Thanks :)

[Lisa Julianna]

I'm participating I'm just not reading to much lately...sorry Angela....I do have one question, Do I need a new excel sheet for this round? Or is it the same as round 1?

[Angela]

It is a different one. I believe Lyn has it.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I do, if you need it Lisa, or did I send it to you already? I've been having lots of brain farts lately, so if I already sent it, sorry for being redundant.

[Lisa Julianna]

No I think you sent me the last one...I would love it if you sent this one for this round. My e-mail is myspammail22@yahoo.com

thanks Lyn.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I just sent it. Hope you enjoy.
