Please post your book challenges here. I am attemptin to do my january 1st 2010 to December 31 2010. I am hoping to get in 55 this year including my ABC title challenge.

What are you doing?

Please keep us posted and if you have any fun challenges please shre.

I attempted to do 65 last (this) year but it didn't quite pan out. Currently I think I am at 54 but the year is not over yet and I really doubt I can get in 11 more!

I'm going to try to stick with 50. It's not exactly a high number, but considering that I like to read quite a few LONG (as in hovering around 1,000 pages) books per year, 50 should be an obtainable challenge for me. This will include the A-Z challenge that I'm going to do. I plan to start January 1 and end December 31.

Most of the books I plan to read are fairly large books as well so I am crossing my fingers that I can do 55. I might have to add some fluff in between LOL

Good Luck Jenni & Jo!

Fluff books make for a nice read after a long book. :)

Good luck to you Donna! And to Jo!

I am going for 60 books in 2010. Although, I think I did more than that in 2009.
I am interested in doing the ABCs also - so I may start that in January and work it in.

I say combine both challenges! :)

Yeah I think I may switch to 60 as well btu I am def going to tie them in together.

I'm still sticking to 50, but hoping for more. :)

I am taking 2 classes next semester but I am just gonna cram a lot until the semester starts LOL

Well, I don't really think I'll try for more than 75 again for 2010. I reached that goal for 2009 and was somewhat surprised, as I read all of the Outlander books (1000+ pages each). I think 75 is a reasonable goal for me, so I will stick with it. I might try some other different challenges this year though, like categories or genres or the such.

75 is still a lot. I know I couldn't do it! Good luck!!

Thanks, Donna. 75 is a lot for me, as I'm not a fast reader. I have a friend who is a speed reader and flies through books. I just can't do that. When I was working on my Masters a few years ago, it was really hard to work in my pleasure reading. I know your classes will interfere with your reading, too. Don't you just hate when life interferes with our reading? LOL

I upped my challenge from 50 to 72...to make it a real challenge...we'll see. I have read 12 so far!
