You're doing a great job, Bekah! I'm impressed!
I blew my no book buying sometime in April/May, but I'm still following through and organizing my GR shelves!
I'm so broke I have no choice but to NOT BUY!Thanks!! I'm trying now that I have a break between summer and fall semesters!
Thought I'd do an update on how I'm doing1. Decrease the number of books on my Unfinished Shelf, try to finish at least one per month. I've decreased the number by one so I've got the first part but not the second part but try is the operative word and sense I have eliminated a few from my TBR hopefully I'm still good.
2. Only buy books that are part of a Series I've already started or have been written by a Fave Author. For the most part I've done well except this one might be out the window because I bought an anthology that included Victoria Dahl (Fave Author) but the story in it by Lori Foster was a lead in to a trilogy (did not know that when I bought the book, Dahl's is also) and although I don't consider Foster a Fave I just had to know Molly's story. Molly is the sister of the heroine in the anthology story and it ends with her (Molly) missing. Course there's also the fact that I've gotten some Free and less than $5.00 ebooks that aren't Fave Authors.
Hope everyone else is doing well on their's

Congratulations, E!!!!
UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Congratulations, E!!!!"Thanks!
I tell you, I was seriously debating if I should begin reading a book for the last day of 2011 but I held back.
LOL!!! I ended the year with a bang! I read Edge of Survival and loved it. What a way to say goodbye to 2011!!
My challenge is similar to Becky's. I plan to read at least 200 books. Read all the Lisa Kleypas books I haven't read yet & finish or catch up with most of the series I've started. I say "most", because I doubt that I'll get through all of J.D. Robb's In Death series! ;)
*update*
I met my 200 book goal, finished up the year with 222 books
I almost met my Lisa Kleypas goal, still have 1 book I haven't read yet.
I did pretty well in finishing up some series, but of course I also started a bunch of new ones! ;-)
Wonderful, Christine!! That's terrific! 200 is a lot of books! LOL!
I was able to complete my 12 hours of shelf organizing, though I didn't do it 1 hour per month. The goal was more about investing that much time, regardless, so I'll say I completed that goal :) The second goal... I didn't do so well. LOL!
I miscalculated and realized, from perusing my reading log calendar (yes, I also have a 2011 reading) that I had forgotten 3 books from my listing.Thus, here is the REAL list for 2011.
