Self-Challenge: 11x11 in 2011

[Zakiya]

True, and I do have less books to be read than you.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! ;)

[Zakiya]

(;

Two more till I'm done with "Just b/c"! Then I'll have eBooks, eFreebies, Cont'g Series, and Purchased 2010-11.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Woohoo! :D

[Zakiya]

The last two months are always the busiest for me in reading and school/home. Last year I epically failed at reading anything. This year I'm aiming to do better. What about you?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I'm doing okay. I'll probably (or it'll be close) meet my goal of 200/yr. But, last year I read a lot more. Or at least it seemed like I had more book time. This year I started university and that's been consuming a lot of my time. Still, 200 is a lot of books for me. Before 2000, I probably never even read that many in several years much less one.

[Zakiya]

Yeah I can imagine how much time university is taking up. I'm only in high school and I feel like it's all I ever do, haha. I think I can reach my goal of 75/yr. Want to try and stretch to 100 in 2012.

[Zakiya]

One more before I'm finished with Just b/c! :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Well, then, you're in the same boat as me w/HS. Same/same - sorta. ;) 75 is a great goal. Really, any # is great - reading is good for ya. :D

YAY! Go, Z, Go!

[Zakiya]

I agree! I wish more people could see the good in it.

Thanks! :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Me too :)

[Zakiya]

Woohoo! Finished "Just b/c"! Now to tackle these last 4.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Woohoo!! You're posts make me feel guilty for not updating my lists. Really, really gotta do that! LOL!

WTG, Zakiya!

[Zakiya]

LOL! Yeah, I looked at a "Currently Read..." topic in a nother group.. Gosh I hadn't updated on there since back in july. it was like 25 books that I had to add. Darned bad memory :)

Thanks!

2 left to go in Cont'g Series!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

When I get back from holiday in the US I'll update my lists and see where the chips fell for year. Believe it or not, I'm not gonna stress over the (coupl'a) challenges I do not complete by the end of 2011. I normally do, but nah ... I've had a good run this year and I never read as much as I'd like to while on holiday. So, it'll be whatever it'll be.

Good luck with yours, Zakiya! :D

[Zakiya]

Thanks, Steph! And I completely understand:) Holiday reading never works out for me either.

[Zakiya]

YUS. Finished Cont'g Series!

[Zakiya]

Wow. I guess it's a problem when you finish a book that has no where to go. LOL! :D

[Zakiya]

One more to finish Purchased 2010-11, and three more to finish e/Freebies.

[Zakiya]

Woohoo! Finished Purchased 2010-11! :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

WTG, Zakiya! I really need to spend some time completing my 2011 list. Especially since I plan to go for 12x12 in 2012. :)
