Amber Martingale They probably wouldn't know what the make of *The Bloody Verdict of Verden*.


message 53: by Neil (new)

Neil Your target seems to have gone up again Amber :o)


message 54: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Yeah. Had to.


message 55: by Neil (new)

Neil The good news is that you are still almost halfway :o)


message 56: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Yeah.


message 57: by Shannon (new)

Shannon That's it? Read faster. ;)


message 58: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I am now one full row (5 books) ahead of schedule.


message 59: by Neil (new)

Neil Glad to see that you are keeping up the good work :o)


message 60: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks.


message 61: by Shannon (new)

Shannon *cracks the reading whip*

*crack, crack, crack!*


message 62: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale :P Shannon!


message 63: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Heh.


message 64: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I have acquired approx. six new books to read. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... shows what I am reading.


message 65: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I went through my pages and deleted every book I could remember that I hadn't actually finished, so now I'm BEHIND schedule by 9 books! :(


message 66: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Kris/StoryTeller: I had to back track a bit and decrease my goal.

Sorry.


message 67: by Neil (new)

Neil Still an impressive target though :)


message 68: by Shannon (new)

Shannon I'm not sure if I can forgive you, Amber. :)


message 69: by Amber (last edited Aug 05, 2021 05:06PM) (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks, Kris.

StoryTeller: :p

Both of you: I added several to my Currently Reading and finished 6! I wasn't able to log in yesterday...library's computer lab was closed because it's on the second floor and the whole floor was closed for renovation. That's one reason I was able to finish 6 books!


message 70: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Now am 1 ahead of schedule...again.


message 71: by Amber (last edited Sep 22, 2014 11:46AM) (new)

Amber Martingale Gah...from being ahead on 8/27 to 13 books behind schedule today... .

Of course the fact that the library was closed all weekend for Oktoberfest AND Belleville's Bicentennial Birthday didn't help. ;)

I'm sure that you will soon be back ahead :o)


message 73: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I hope so, because I hate being behind. I DON'T want to DOWNGRADE the number of books I've set as my goal.


message 74: by Neil (new)

Neil I am still sure that you will surpass your goal Amber :o)


message 75: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale At the rate I'm going, I probably won't even make it much past 325... .


message 76: by Neil (new)

Neil There are still a whole 3 months left of the year Amber, plus the bit from this month. You are almost at the 300 point, so I am confident in you :o)


message 77: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks. What I meant on my previous comment was that it's taking forever considering that some of the books I have to special order and they can take up to a month to get to my library, depending on how many other requests there are for that particular item.


message 78: by Джорджия (new)

Джорджия 427 книги наистина са цел, при която трябва да четеш по повече от една книга на ден.

Translation, please?


message 80: by Neil (new)

Neil "427 books really aim where you have to read more than one book a day".

There you go Amber :o)


message 81: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Thanks, Kris.


message 82: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Just finished an audio book. That makes it only another 127 more to read... .


message 83: by Neil (new)

Neil And still over 3 months left of the year Amber :o)x


message 84: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale True. Right now I'm not sure I can do it..mostly because I might have the flu because I haven't yet been able to get my flu vaccine this year. Might not be as effective when I DO get it, though.


message 85: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale *growls and mutters Corellian-style cursing... .* 15 books BEHIND schedule!


message 86: by Neil (new)

Neil So you just need some quick read fill in books to get you back on schedule :o)


message 87: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale *Bronx cheer* Easier said than done. ;)


message 88: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Finished one yesterday and one today.


message 89: by Neil (new)

Neil You will be back on track before you know it :o)
