We're Making Progress!

[★Meghan★]

You can have multiple challenge trackers, but the only problem is that it sort of keeps track of each person's individual rather than combining everybody's. If you know what I mean.

I had thought of that, but they haven't quite made one for the group as a goal one. yet.

Melissa- I meant as far as remembering where I leave off with updating the ticker hah. But yeah, that would help a lot!

Since I know I won't be finishing another book this month I shall report in with having read 6 books this month! Quite the jump from 1 last month lol!

This has actually helped to keep me reading since I want to do my part for the group, Thanks for this idea everyone!

[Zakiya]

Great total, Angela!!!! :D

I've only read one book all month. Darn. Better luck in March!

Thanks! Was it a long book or a busy month...or both?

[★Meghan★]

I got to 9 books this month.

[Mel]

8 books for February.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I didn't read much this month like I used to, but I may read a graphic novel or two tonight so I won't say how many I've read in February til later tonight.

[Zakiya]

Great reading everyone!

Amy- Better luck next month; I'm sure you'll beat us all in March! :)

Angela- Both actually. We were reading Great Expectations for English, and that's the one I finished. Battling English work, trying to conquer Algebra, dancing for two different people, plus life in general. It was hard to read GE and keep up with another book at the same time.

[Jennifer]

14 books for february for me!

[Aneeqah]

I've read 11 books this month!

Not bad. =)

I can't blame ya there, I ant read two books at a time so if I had to read a book like that for a class I would be in trouble!

What I'm picking up is that you're willing to accept any books, right? I read children's books for/with my youngest two kids that I don't count in my "official" totals. These aren't even YA books, they're children's children's books. Do you want a count of those too? I'll try to keep better track of them if you do.

[Zakiya]

If you don't keep track of them in your "official" totals, then I wouldn't count them. Good question. (:

[Tanya]

Sorry this is a bit late...we just got back from vacation. I read 12 books in February.

[Zakiya]

That's okay! Great reading, Tanya! Hope you had fun on vacay!

Thanks! We did. At least 6 of those 12 books were read last week, on a beach, with a fruity frozen drink in hand. It was heaven! Now I need to buckle down and get to reading for March. :)

Woohoo! That's def some awesome reading! :D


Elizabeth- No problem!

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Do manga count as books read for this goal? I only ask because I've been in a reading manga phase lately.

[Zakiya]

Yep! Anything counts as long as it's not magazines or newspapers.

[Lori]

Figured here was as good a place as any, do children's books count? I got one based on an author's suggestion in one of my "currently reading" book Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading by Nina Sankovitch.

In this "juvenile" book, The Seven Silly Eaters it's pages are over-sized and a large picture takes up 50% or more of each page.


If this isn't the place, please let me know where to put general questions like this. Thank you in advance for your help.

[Zakiya]

It's no problem to post your questions here!

For your personal challenge, it's up to you whether to use it or not. For the group Books challenge, I would say no only because the pictures take up so much room, meaning there's less words. Are the words in a small font size?

[Lori]

Thanx Zakiya for answering my question. Sorry didn't respond sooner but forgotten which thread I'd put the question in.

[Zakiya]

Oh, that's okay! And you're welcome! I never thought being in charge of something could bring on such hard decisions! :D

[Shay]

I only read 33 books in March. I doubt I'll get another one finished by the end of today.

[[deleted user]]

15 books for March.

[Lori]

Bettered my last 2 months (5 each in Jan. and Feb.) as in the month of March I a total of 8 books.

[Nikki]

I didn't add my Feb totals. Woops
5 books in Feb and 3 in March for 8 books total.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I just finished my 30th book for March. Most of it was graphic novels, but I've devoured four regular books one right after the other this final week of March!
