Can I alter a resolution some? here was the original: Read at least 100 books that have been on my To-read list prior to 2015 (I will be cataloging all my books next year, so I know my list will be going up by at least another 1000 books so I better knock out some of the books that have already been sitting on there!) To- Read at least 100 books that are either on my virtual to-read list or have been on my bookcases prior to 2015.
This way, the books I am cataloging have a chance. Thanks

Question on a book if I can count it or Not. Reading the Curse Keepers series and started book 2 The Curse Breakers the other day as a group read, having finished book one last month. I already had the 3 books individually when it was pointed out there is a collection book that includes all three books, plus 3 novellas. Since that is a separate book, can I count it apart from the others for reading the novellas? Each novella is between 50-70 pages each so I know individually they would not cound but if we read all three since they are in the same book, can that count? Just not sure how to make it work for the book/buddy counts since I have the original three as individuals as well and we already read the first full book last month but still have 2 more to go plus the novella trilogy. Thanks! Hope this made some sense.

Mods, I have a question, do foreign books count in this challenge??? 'coz I'd like to read some books in my first language
:( We are in last place! I'd better get reading! :P
@ashwag What's your first language? Just curious!
@Bookbuyer
Good luck :P
@Christina it's Arabic..
Team Magnus, I'm reading in my own language and that counts, so I'm betting it would for you too :)

Oh no! I thought I could take it easy. I thought wrong! Haha
Christina! Give us slow readers some time to catch up. :-)
This is why I didn't do this months challenge. I knew I would be reading a crazy amount if I did and I have lots of writing to do. Plus I'm about to start a book that's 1000+ pages, so that would have put me behind. :) Good luck to everyone participating!

12. Twelve book recommendations
13. Thirteen series enders
