Ooh, I like that you're trying to read non-fiction. I may try this too as I have several NF books that I've owned for years and never read. They look rather sad and neglected on my bookcase!

Good luck :)

You are going to love Hidden and Wanted!

Thanks Diane! I'm VERY excited! :) I want to start reading *NOW* but it's not yet 2011...maybe I can fudge it, just a little. ;)

Wooo up to 14 books!

Wow, look at you! Well done :)

Thanks Rachel! You and I are virtually tied! It'll be interesting to see how we progress, and how we feel about our books!

Actually, you're one book ahead of me - unless I finish An Amish Love: Healing Hearts/What the Heart Sees/A Marriage of the Heart (Inspirational Amish Anthology tonight! So far I've not read any bad books, and there's only been one that was at the "meh, just okay" stage. My lowest rating has been 6/10. How about you?

I feel pretty similar. But let's be honest. 1 book difference isn't that much when we both have read so many pages this year! It's awesome to be so interested in keeping productive with our reading. :) I so far haven't hated any books I have read, but I couldn't get through The Inheritance of Beauty. It wasn't awful, but it did not suit my personality. I think it would be amazing for those that enjoy the style of Nicole A. Seitz, but it didn't quite fit me.

I can't read as fast as you all lol. 4 kids and a husband to take care of and then my volunteer stuff...I just don't get the time I want to read lol

Okay, I've now hit #14! We're tied!

I'm always impressed by full-time mothers who manage to find time to read - four children must be demanding! I guess I'll try to fit in lots of reading in the next few years before I start a family of my own :)

I agree with Rachel, Lorie. I find it so impressive that you can get SO much done. I find myself overwhelmed being single and in school!

Up to 28 books! :)

Ooh, you've nearly caught up with me! I just finished #29 :)

Just finished #29 too! :)

We're tied! Obviously we read at a similar speed :)

Wooooo up to 40!

Oooh, very close! I'm up to 41 :)

Up to 44! I went on a trip Monday-Tuesday where I wasn't driving and since I don't get carsick while reading I was able to spend many hours reading! :)

Up to 70 books!

You've been busy!
