I'm going to challenge myself to read 50 books this year. I know that a lot of people can zip right through this challenge, but I have 6 kids (14, 8, 6, 5,2,& 1). It's going to be a challenge for me to read 50. I haven't hit 50 books in a year in awhile now.

I think 50 books is AMAZING without having so many children! You can do it, kick some butt!

Seconded! Good luck, Jessica! Do you listen to audiobooks at all? I don't have any kids to run around after (yet) but I'm a full time student and housewife and I listen to audiobooks while I do housework so that I still get to squeeze in some reading on the extra-busy days :)

I do listen to some audiobooks when I knit or crochet. As long as I'm working on something I don't have to count to do:)

I have 5 kids and I was suprised I hit 53 last year...so I challenged myself to read 55 this year. I'm sure I can hit it but I am learning I have to pick books I really want to read and skip ones that I'm not interested in...always takes longer to get through...

4) Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman

5) Seek Me With All Your Heart by Beth Wiseman

I just finished book #7 which was "Kill Me if You Can" by James Patterson. My first non amish book this year. I love James Patterson books but have fallen really behind on reading them! If I finish one more book this month I'll be right on track. Hmmm...might have to grab another Patterson book to read. I usually fly right through those.

I have 4 kids and I barely made the 50 last year. It is harder with kids! Good Luck!

10 down only 40 more to go:)

I'm slowly getting there.

Finally finished "Lemon Meringue Pie Murder" by Joanne Fluke. It was a good book I just lost it for awhile and finally found it again.

I finally finished "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins. It's the 3rd book in The Hunger Games series. It was my least favorite. Good, but took me a long time to get into the book.

I agree with you! Mockingjay was my least favorite book in that series too!

I am about 36% through Mockingjay. So far, not my favorite. But still plowing through it anyway.

It does pick up and get better, but it took awhile.

I'm reading "Fame" by Karen Kingsbury and getting ready to start "A Widow's Hope" by Mary Ellis
