Did you notice Greg is going to read 50 more books than you? I think you should just end all possible challenges to your position as queen and set your goal for 1500.

I couldn't do 150 since I read 162 last year, but I topped 200 in 2008 and 2009. Here's to another year of being a recluse!!

Reading machines!

You guys are all awesome! Way to set goals!

I will crush ktb!

i don't know how many i read last year because on my stats it only says 89 and i know that is hogwash. is 150 too low?? is it not a challenge??i think i shall set the bar low at 150 and then crush greg anyway, tortoise-and-hare-style.

are you going to read blood red road next?

My challenge is to read 3 books this year. I'm totally gonna beat you guys...by months probably.

yes! blood red road and then don quixote and then that bodice ripper book and then who knows?? i am on page 602 of the instructions, so i may finish it before the end of the year.

wow 150! How many can you get through a week??

it depends... hopefully, many!

well you don't always set finish dates so it doesn't know how many you read.

Way to go Karen. I decided to just put 52 as my goal, lets say a book a week, but I'm already through 4, guess I'll have to do a goal update later on.

yeah, i have a public goal and a private goal...


shhhhh

What's your private goal?

shhhhhh

C'mon, share your private with us.

i reread far too much to beat 100 bah :(

Eh?Eh! wrote: "C'mon, share your private with us."

it's not private if she tells everybody, is it?

bill thompson: voice of reason

Eh?Eh!: In the red jumpsuit on the left shoulder.

hahaahahhaahah

you goose!

Privates!

Good luck Karen!!!

thank you!!

Wish I could read 150. Write now I'm struggling to reach 75. Last year I read around 60, out of which 15 were goosebumps =( Good luck, and I suppose your private goal is 200, eh?

hahaah yeahhhhh shhhhhh

Right*

i bet the secret challenge is more than greg they're competitive like that.

I dont know how u read this much and write review's and all this but,
Hat's off to u.

By the way,
r u editor or proof reader ??????
(i m just amazed)

nope, just a bookseller. except for don quixote and the instructions, they haven't been particularly long books, but i hope to continue to impress throughout the year!

yes, well if you read books about a cartoon pig and some animal butts, i think you would catch up pretty quickly.

See Karen, people are impressed with you even if you haven't read nearly as many books as I have this year!

hahahhahhahha

the year is just beginning, big talker...

You are catching up, but I'm going to finish two books in the next day or so.

I WILL FIND WALDO!!!

I've read 40 too!!

You know what my friend and I realized today with no school I can read SOOOOO many books!!!! I can be like you and greg.

i forbid it!

I would like to be 1/4ths as frequent of a reader as you guys but I have Midnight's Children to read for school. but 2 more months and then I'm free for the summer. yay!

you forbid it?

yes!! no reading for you!!!

poor books

more books for me though!!!

wow! that's a lot of books! :) And I thought I read a lot.

i am still woefully behind greg...

awww I thought I was going good with 46 read already but I'm gonna have to quit my day job to keep up with you. 89 so far is amazing!.

See Karen, 89 is a very respectable number of books to have read in the first five months of a year.

hi greg, you must never sleep, being up to 96 already...i read quite a lot and am only up to 80.

i will never catch up...
