Veronica (v_a_b) Well, I signed up for the 500 book challenge group, but I'm really unsure if I can do it and still have a life. A book and a half a day, I can do that, but not when I have school or want to ever hang out with friends in the summer. So I'm pretty sure that I can do 200. I am at 36.

Kenzie Veronica,

What happens if we can't remember how many books we've read so far this year?


message 3: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) Well, you don't have to have started it at the begining of the year. I started mine last november when I joined the original book challenge group. I simply made a shelf called book challenge, and add every book I complete to the shelf. But if you want to find out the books you have read since January, simply go to your read shelf and sort by date added. There will, of course be some books that you didn't read in that time but you remembered that you read when you were younger that you added so far this year, but you will probably remember which ones they were.

Veronica (v_a_b) 44 books. I'm reading so slowly!


message 9: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie I've finished one book a night for the past two months. And then on the weekends I've been reading about four, so that's...about 72, in the last two months, before that at least 30. So, around 102 this year.

Veronica (v_a_b) You can start your own thread if you want. You don't even have to start with the beginning of '08. You could start today! Just start a thread and keep posting every time you read a book.

I'm at 46 books.

message 20: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) ummm, 69? aND i don't think I should be in this group anymore...I don't think that 200 is a realistic goal for me this year anymore...so this group will be fine without a moderator, I'm sure.


message 21: by Janna (new)

Janna I'm starting tomorrow, and since I am just starting out with reading habitually, I think I'll be able to do 200 this year :) I guess my end date would be October 22, 2009. I'm excited. My first book that I'm already about 60 pages in that I started on Sunday is Girls in Pants, the third book of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants... Wish me Luck! I'll keep updates going on my progress.
