DelGal’s comments from the The Book Challenge group.

Ok so it's New Years day 2009 and I am short 9 books from my original 50 books from July challenge. I really got sidetracked with my writing in November so I didn't read as much as I normally do. But oh well, no biggie, I did accomplish reading 41 books, and spent less time on the computer, which was a part of my goal too.

Now onto the 2009 challenge!

I'm way behind on my book challenge for this month coz I too decided to join Nanowrimo. Ah well, we're having fun either reading or writing! :)

I'm attempting to continue my 50 books by Dec 31st, but I think I'm going to extend it to Jan. since I'm not reading as much in Nov. because I'm participating in the Nanowrimo.org write a book in a month competition. I've read 32 so far but I've seriously slowed down. Ah well, no biggie.

Good luck on your reading, hopefully they won't be delusions of grandeur. It's really easy to get carried away making your TBR list, it's so much fun looking for books. :)


oh and good luck on your 101 things to do in 1001 days!

Good luck with your reading! It's definitely no fun reading when you've got to read so much for school so it's always great when everything is over and you can just read what you want, when you want etc.

good luck on your challenge, fit some fun reading in there somewhere!

good luck on getting back to fun reading Djulia! It can really be hard to fit in reading when you're working and reading for school, but if you can fit it in it's a great stress reliever.

I don't know if you're like me, but I think I may end up for reading more now than in the past months since I'll be inside more when it gets colder. Find some really short books so you can get to your goal!

Good luck

Hey Elaine

You go girl! Whatever you can accomplish is cool and an accomplishment for you, don't worry about anyone else. Everyone has got different reading speed and more or less time for reading.

Good luck to you, and finish those books that are taking you years to complete! :)
