Challenge: 50 Books discussion

Last year I made my goal of 52 or one per week. I managed to track my progress throughout the entire year without forgetting or quitting. Definitely felt like an achievement since I would normally lose interest/motivation to finish what I start.

I could have finished more books though in 2015 so this year I am upping the goal by a whopping 13.

Good luck everybody!

Good luck, Kimberley!

Back at you, Kimberley!

That sounds like a lovely plan for the year! Supporting local, in all ways :)

I am still 2 behind of my goal target but I plan to catch up by the end of Feb if I can…

Gonna finish some I started previously. Is that cheating?

Of course it's not! :)

I know that feeling! I sympathize with you! :(

:) Glad to know I'm not alone.

I think you should somehow get credit for the pages you read before you abandon a book.

Thanks. That's a good thought… lol.
I try and go back and finish them eventually though. Except when they are really terrible. I have finally given myself permission to abandon those forever. :)

It's kind of liberating, isn't it? :)
