How Many Books Have You Read This Year?

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I'm on 29/100

[Michael]

29? I am gobsmacked at how that is even possible.

It's no more than four for me I am afraid!

[Melanie]

I've done 22 so far (just had to check the little widget thingy) - but I've cheated in the last week or so - I've read a few 'short stories' so that makes me feel much more successful :)

There's a girlie on the Never Too Old for YA group who absolutely hammers through books - I think she did around 30 this month for the dystopian challenge alone!

wow thats a lot! everyone cheats slightly as well, I read a 2 page part and it counted. Made me feel better

[Christi]

85/300

I am doing horrible!!! Though it says I'm 4 books ahead I want to have 100 books by the end of April possibly more if I don't reread.

[Karina]

I'm on my 38th :)

[Emily V, Head Mod]

32nd

[Karina]

You may catch up with me Emily. I've started to slow down.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I accept the challenge haha

[Elisa]

I was doing pretty good for me, at 37 so far...but have been bogged down on two books for a week! Hoping I have time to read this weekend :)

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I'm 8 books ahead how I managed that I have no clue

[Hayley]

I'm unsure, actually... I only got this goodreads account recently and in my other one, I really didn't update this. So... no clue :D

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Aw, oh well :)

[Julie]

Okay I feel terrible. I've only read part of one book this year and about four total last year. I'm just a slacker. :)

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Wow one book? Well my sister hasn't read anything this year so your not too bad haha. I'm on my 37th

[Trisha]

I just hit book 12... I went through a rough reading patch for awhile. Nothing was interesting enough for me to want to read and my husband and I bought our first home and that took a lot longer than I thought to move in! lol... But I have been on a steady reading climb. Since last week I have been reading a book every other day. Slow but steady. =)

[Julie]

Not even a whole book yet, just a few chapters. :) That's my new mission, read more.

Ive had that, I once went a month without reading anything then I found the morganville series and read 11 books in a week and I was once again reading obsessively. You just need to find a really great book to start you off again. Might I suggest the hunger games :D

We will motevate you :)

[Julie]

Sounds good. As an author though, I worry sometimes about unintentionally cross contaminating my ideas with ones I've already read about. I think I need to get over it though, I miss reading.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I hate reading a book then thinking why didn't I think of that. Then you subconciously copy then realise and have to start again. Happens to me all the time.

[Julie]

Glad I'm not alone. :)

[Kirsten]

16 so far

[Christi]

89/300 suckishly. I really need to get on a roll of 2 books a day.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

on my 39th, going a little slower now

[Hayley]

Hahaha, seems like we're all slowing down after a bit... same could be said for me.

[Tara]

I think probably 5-10. I wasn't really counting until recently.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Still on my 39th how is it taking me so long?!?!

[Karina]

on 41 now but starting to slow down.

[Christi]

100...MY GOAL FOR TILL MAY! I just need 200 more...>.>

At least I got this far.

How does one read 100 books?! I don't think that i could get through that many even in a whole year, although it does depend on how many hours one spends reading in a day. How many h..."

One must read 8 hours a day. I squeeze it in with school, homework and chores and then stay up half the night reading. Normally I try and get a book a day. Sometimes I do others I do not. Pacing myself has never been a skill I possess.

YAY!! I thought I was the only one xD

[Michelle]

I'm just about on 9/15.. But in my defense, some of them have been large.. IE: Stephen King 11/22/63, more than 800 pages, Bag of Bones, more than 700 pages, Under The Dome, more than 600 pages and several from Mary Jane Clark which run from 300 - 400 pages. About to start Under The Dome which is more than 1000 pages....

Wow over a 1000 I've only conquered one of those in a day. (Its my goal in life to get 1000 pages in a day.)

112/300 BTW.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I'm up to 55! 11 books ahead of schedule

[Michelle]

I'm on my 12th, Under The Dome, by Stephen King, which I stopped reading for a while to read a couple of shorter books; Rooms and The Chair, both by James Rubart, in between. Other books I've read this year Stephen King 11/22/63, more than 800 pages, Bag of Bones, more than 700 pages, Duma Key, more than 600 pages and several from Mary Jane Clark which run from 300 - 400 pages.

Currently on pg 400 of 1000+ in Under The Dome.

[Emily V, Head Mod]

I'm onto my 62nd. I have hope i will reach my goal. I have more than enough sitting on my shelf to.

[[deleted user]]

I've read about 75/120.

[Carolina]

Until now I've read 60 books more or less. I want to reach the 100 book per year. :)

[Emily V, Head Mod]

Up to 70 now

[L]

I have completely lost count of how many books i have read so far this year, as i think it could be quite a lot! My 'currently-reading' books take me ages because i am constantly being sent books to read (online or paperback/ hardback giveaways) to review for authors...my list is constantly growing!!

[Justin]

Not nearly enough. I've read around 5 or 6 which seems low but if you know me youd think it was an accomplishment. Given all the free time I really should read more

[Lynxie]

Currently on 47/90. Dropped my goal this year given I'm back at school as well as working full time!

School eats into reading time so much!

[Lade]

I've read 130 out of 150 :D

[Shawanda]

My goal was only to read 10 books. I have read 6 of them of them so far. i have a lot going on with my children, writting my next book and trying to get the three that I have already written noticed.
