The Reading Challenge Group discussion

I am trying to start my 2015 reading challenge here. Not sure if I am doing it correctly. I am increasing my number to 50 this year.

genre challenge: Jan - historical fiction
Read - Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield
Review to be posted

Wow, I really lost track of this for 2015, however, I have been trying to squeeze in 50 books. My husband and I decided to move house this year and we are moving in December so I have not had as much time to read as I wanted. I think, also, I tried to read more complex books and that takes time.
2 books that I am proud to have read are "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Go Set a Watchman". I enjoyed Harper Lee's writing style and found these books to be excellent portrayals of the southern woman that Harper Lee is.

I'm in the same boat (almost) as you. I lost track of my reading big time, not sure if I can hit my goal of minimum 100 books on time, but I'm going to try anyway. I have quite a few big projects at work starting this week and the next, so balancing work, reading, and all my other things is really going to be a challenge.

Good luck with your moving. Have you tried audiobooks? I'm pretty sure you can fit it in plenty of reading if you count audiobooks in, especially when you're packing/running errands/[insert other moving activity that allows for audiobooks]

OMG I'm sorry I over commented. Will fix this in the morning when I open GR on my laptop. Can't delete comments on the iOS app.

That's OK. It sounds like you have a very busy life. I did not expect to be moving this year it just sort of happened. The audiobooks idea is a good suggestion. I will look into it.
Good luck with your 100 book challenge. That is quite ambitious. I doubt I will ever get to that level.

Hey! Just fixed it :)

I actually try to keep busy so I don't end up wasting time on TV shows and the likes. I find that TV numbs my mind - even though there are some awesome shows out there, it's a time-sucking hobby that barely returns any good to you. It's great for entertainment, but nowadays I'm trying to cut down TV time to when I'm doing something else - playing around with the glue gun, or crocheting/beading, etc.

I've done 100+ book years, just not ones in which I tried to balance it with a full-time workload ... I also neglected a lot of my reading during downtimes at work, so I'm kinda at fault for this tight spot I'm in right now :/

I will definitely try to make it. How many books have you read so far?
