Let all these 275 books be great reads. All the best!
Good luck on your challenge!
thanks! i'm going to get to work on it right now!
275?! Good luck!! I barely was able to get 210 last year! I dropped my goal for this year to 200 because it was a struggle and I have to win the challenge.
i know all about that urge. must... win... challenge!
hahhaah no you doofus - they're a great way to get your numbers up!!
but you can read them on the computer, just like you're reading THIS COMMENT!
I don't even understand how this is possible.
You make me feel much shame, being a slow reader is embarrassing.
If anyone can reach that goal you can, Karen! Happy New Reading Year!!
Children's picture books count, right?
275? I can barely do 100/year. Aaaah....you read on the Metro don't you?
children's books, free tor shorts, monsterotica - i'm no hero here. short and sweet is fine by me!
I read children's books too to get through my challenges quicker!

And I read comics, which usually take 2 hours max for a trade. I think the goal's just a personal thing - a motivator to read vs the other hobbies and all that matters is that you feel it makes sense. I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but if anyone thought it had to be NOVELS, that's my rationale.
i like the palate-cleansing quality of a tor short after a novel, or first thing in the morning, to start me on my day...

Ooh! I also read comics to pass the time too. As long as I read some good books for the year, I'm cool.

Good luck on your challenge. I'm secretly hoping to breach that 200 mark myself, although I set it for 150 so I don't go into panic mode.
it's definitely better to start the year cautiously. i mean, what if someone publishes a 1,000 page book about red pandas and i lose a week to it? pacing is everything.
I admire you. Maybe someday I will be able to read as many books as you. Not this year, though. Too many library school textbooks.
I LOVE LIBRARY SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS!except for the cataloging one. and that computer one. but the others - swoon!!!
Yeah, I'm loving mine so far, EXCEPT FOR THE MANAGEMENT ONE. Management is the worst. They are very dense though. I could read like 20 tor shorts in the time it takes to read one. I think I'll go read some tor shorts instead of doing my homework.
i think reading one tor short after every chapter is only going to enhance your learning. i don't think i ever studied management of libraries. if i did, i was reading tor shorts instead...
I would much rather be reading tor shorts than this management book... but I like your idea of reading one after each chapter. It will be a reward for getting through the boring parts of library school.
once you get the boring fundamental stuff outta the way, it's a lot more fun.
Thats a lot of books to read! 275? How do you do it? do you read a book every day(on average) or do you read a bunch of books on one day? When do you read? That was a lot of questions. Lol
well, i promised myself i would read one free tor short per week, so those don't take long, and there's plenty of short picture books and graphic novels scattered in there. there are people way more impressive than me *koff melki koff* i just read whenever i can. the subway's good for that. it frequently stalls, so i get a lot of reading done!
300 and I'm still struggling to get to my piddling 130...I'm impressed that you read so much and have the energy to write about it too.
Daaamn girl!! That's almost 16 books a month!! *bows down*
The management class in Library School was the worst!
