It is rather neat to see everyone's ideas on how to post your progress.

I like a clean and easy to read post since there are so many people reading and posting. I really appreciate a post that doesn't have links attached because it makes it hard for me to figure out where to read it.
I usually post after 2-3 books I read and post my update progress on the other thread. I try to keep everything short and sweet, but whatever makes people happy and proud of themselves is always a good thing!

1. Fool: A Novel - Christopher Moore

2. Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside the Playboy Mansion - Jennifer Saginor

3. The Lovely bones - Alice Sebold

Hey don't be embarrassed or think less of yourself if you're trying 3-8 books, that still is great considering you're reading for school. I all but stopped reading for fun when I was doing my Masters, ugh WAY too much "don't wanna" reading! And not to mention you write too, so WOW to you. :)
Good luck!

Eliza-

Have fun reading no matter how many books you read, especially since it will be leisure reading instead of the heavy reading required for law school.

good luck!

Jennifer-

Yup, I love HP and am anxiously awaiting the movies too, but I do like the books better.

I wasn't too impressed with the Twilight book either and I was kind of bored with it until more than halfway into it too.

As for the Jodi Piccoult and Sue Monk Kidd books I really enjoyed reading all of them. They're both new authors for me and have quickly picked all of their books out to eventually read the rest of them. The mermaid chair was wonderful too!

good luck to you jennifer. I was like you last year, 50 books that I felt like reading, and it kept me going instead of trying to fit into some harder challenge where I'd probably get bored or annoyed by it. I had fun, and I'm sure you will too :)

Hey Joel,

good luck with your challenge. 25 is no small feat, especially for heavy non-fiction books! It is a great feeling though to be able to read anything other than what is required for grad school. I know how that feels, and am happy it's over for me :)

Great! The more the merrier, good luck to both of you, lynlee4 and stephanie. :)

I'm starting a new challenge since it's the beginning of the year and the end of my old challenge.

Instead of challenging myself to a specific number of books, I'm going to read as many books as possible for one year and every time I read one, I'll place a dollar in a pot. The goal here is the more I read the more money I'll have saved to treat myself to something at the beginning of next year.

I was short 9 books from my 1st challenge here of 50 books by Dec. But I did read more and messed around on the computer less which was a part of my goal too, so that's a good thing.

Next up 2009 goal. Read books from 2008's to-read list
