aromaannie Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am currently up to 76 and am hoping to have read 100 by the end of the year. My reading rate has slowed down in the last few weeks so not sure if i'm going to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've currently read 54. My aim was to read 100 this year but due to me taking a few weeks out from reading earlier in the year that's not going to happen. Maybe next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I just checked on Librarything where I keep a complete list and it is 21. I just don't read so fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've finished 107 books this year so far and I have another couple on the go at the moment. Last year I think my total was around 124, so I think I'll most likely read more this year, but it's because I've added audio books to the mix this year..

~Andrea~ Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 16, so I'm not really likely to hit my target of 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 now I'm worried! I'm sure I've read lots of books this year, i even remember what some of them were about, but i never keep count. i'd lose the piece of paper....wouldn't you?

haniirani Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wow, 100+?? I'm a bit on the slow side. I don't think I can read that much in a year. michael, why don't you try LibraryThing.com or Shelfari. That way you can keep track of what you read without using pieces of papers.

Kell Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 So does the 107 include the audio books? Yes it does. I think there have been about 15 or so audio books and the rest have been ordinary books. I listen to the audio books on my ipod while I'm out and about - dead handy! now I'm worried! I'm sure I've read lots of books this year, i even remember what some of them were about, but i never keep count. i'd lose the piece of paper....wouldn't you? I wouldn't know except I keep a book blog on here and write a review for each of the books I've read. I've been keeping a book review blog for just over 2 years now and it's great being able to look back at what I've read and seeing how I felt about the books at the time. Occasionally, if I re-read, my opinions might change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 well I'm not sure I'd really want to know; one of the advantages of having a lousy memory is that I can re-read a book that I've read quite recently and enjoy it all over again. (Also applys to stuff I've written which is even more worrying!) but thanks for the suggesstions, i'll have a look. anything to keep me organised.

Nici Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have only read 11 books this year which is a lot less than normal - but there have been some big books there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~V~ Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 27 listed here and I think I have two or three to add. Bit disappointing really but about usual for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 23 so far. I read less than I used to because of all the studying I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've read 40 so far this year, hoping to reach the 50 mark by Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty_kitty Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 so far i have read 45 and i like to read at least 52 per year so i am well on my way!!!! But i am back at work and busily making christmas presents so i ill have to try and fit everything in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've read 46 so far (quite a few short books there), which is about 6 books ahead of where I was at this time last year. I guess I'll aim for 52, although I have some pretty long books coming up so I don't know if I'll make it. I'm pretty pleased with 46 though. I've managed to knock a few off my TBR pile, but I know I've bought way more than 46 books this year so I'm really going backwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fireball Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sadly I've read 65 odd books, normally I read more,! but I've cut back a bit. Can't think why. All I do know is I've a L O T TBR books not that very far from me as I write this, and telling me to get a move on.! Books! you really can't beat 'em. Thank God I'm Wouldn't have it any-other way.

Echo Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I haven't actually kept track, but I know that it's been a slow year for me because of school. If I'm counting only non-school books, I've probably only read about 25 or so. If I count everything together, it's probably more like 45 or 50. Also, do you have to finish a book for it to count?

Kell Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Also, do you have to finish a book for it to count?I suppose it depends on how much of it you've read - it's personal. Myself, I don't count them unless I've finished them, although I'll occasionally review one I didn't finish but got pretty far through, if it's given me reason enough to be opinionated (usually if I'm REALLY hating it for a specific reason). It's rare, however, for me not to persevere to the end. It really takes a lot of hate and boredom to make me quit once I've started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 So far I have read only 57 - I have slowed down alot at the moment with Dad being so ill, so hopefully it will pick up again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
