The Book Basilisks discussion

How many books have you read this year and what is your 2015 goal? Mine is 50 books and so far I've only read 27 books which means that I am 2 books behind schedule :( I really need to keep up my reading pace if I want to reach the goal!
What about you guys? And how many books did you read last year?

My book goal is 100 books and I've read 59 books so far (and about 20 of them are comics). Last year I had the same goal and I made it (but there was a lot of comic book reading the last day or two of December).

My goal is 50 books. I'm at 26 right now. I have a feeling I will read closer to 100.

my goal is 70 and I've read 39 which means I am 2 books behind!! oops

I've read 33 so far! My goal is 50 so I'm pretty confident I'll reach it by the end of the year.

Last year I only read 40 something books so I'm hoping I'll reach more this year. Do you guys have any tricks or tips on reading more books?

i've read about 19 this year and my goal is 50 so i'm way behind haha

Last year my goal was 50 and I read exactly 50 books! This year my goal is 30 and I've read 19 so far, which means I'm two ahead of schedule!

That's great Jian and Stephanie! Why did you lower your goal, Jian?

This year is my first year of high school so I didn't think I'd have time to read as many books? (Although I have friends in my year who read a book a day and I have no idea how they do it.)

Ah, I see... First year of high school isn't as intense as last year of high school though! This year I'm leaving high school and I had a lot of final tests which lowered my book count but then after I graduated I have two months of no school and so I got to catch up again.
One book a day seems so extreme! I usually finish one book a week...

i finished my goal and am like 4 over right now? my goal was 50!!

chai, nice! maybe you should up your goal for this year. like 60 or 70 books

true i probably should, but school is starting next week and i don't know how much more i'll be able to read this year

That's amazing Chai! Also I think the goals make us feel more motivated because as soon as I see how I'm 1 book behind schedule I feel more pumped to read :)

I've read 237 books this year, a little less than what I usually do but exams have been keeping me busy!!

What, 200??? That's amazing! How do you even find the time to read so many books? My average is probably 1-2 per week.

I fly through books haha! I'm a fast reader but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the books. When I have spare time on my hands I can get through 3 books

That is absolutely crazy!! Congrats on your reading skills hah!
