message 2: by Crystal (new)

Crystal how do you find time to read and how do you read so quickly? any tips?


message 3: by Elena (new)

Elena Salvatore Good Luck!!


Sarah (is clearing her shelves) Crystal, I can't manage 250 books but I can give you some tips - read in any free time you have, while waiting for a pot of water to boil, in the toilet, while blow drying your hair, on public transport, while waiting at the traffic lights, in the waiting room, at the hair dresser, in the ad breaks while watching tv, and ALWAYS read for half an hour (or more if you feel like it) before bed.

You're welcome and I'm happy to help. I forgot to add that if you aren't a sport watcher but are forced to participate because someone else in the house is that's another great time to grab the book. You can cheer/boo at the appropriate times without paying much attention, just do what the rest of the room is doing and the rest of the match is free for reading.

Amanda Karen you are a Machine - Your achievement is unreal !


message 9: by StarMan (new)

StarMan That's already more books (210!) than the # of pizzas I've had this year. Please remember to burp your brain, lest it burst.


message 10: by Kate (new)

Kate I think I commented on your challenge a few years ago about how inferior I felt. Well, im not sure if it’s library school or working at a library or just natural increase of reading speed but I am catching up! Maybe 250 in 2019...


message 11: by Samantha (new)

Samantha NICE! I think you can def add audio books in to increase it even more!
