Nollaig Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Congrats @chesilbeach on reaching 100! I'm on 49, and nearly finished 50, so I'm about to hit the halfway point of my original goal. Might still make 80 or 85 if I keep my recent pace up. Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Thank you both. I know I keep a note of numbers but I don't have a target or even care how many I read, but I do like my statistics, and they're more important that the total number. Trying to improve my male:female authors ratio this year, and it's much better than last year already. Quote
shirley Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 into the 90's. It has made it so much easier now that I make a list of the books as I am reading them. That is really good going for me. Quote
Nollaig Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 52, nearly finished 53. Whoop whoop! Really gotten into the swing of reading again, so I'm happy about that. Quote
Lau_Lou Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 57 now. Which is 5 more than this time last year. Also in a great reading mood recently. Hope this stays with me... Quote
willoyd Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Two-thirds of the way through the year, and 46 books completed. A bit down on last year (54 at this stage), but that was my biggest year ever as an adult. Edited September 3, 2017 by willoyd Quote
Talisman Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I am currently about halfway through book no. 64. Should be on track then to reach my target of 90 books. Quote
willoyd Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Fifty up! No target for the year; down on last year (56 at this stage, 80 by the end), but up on all previous years. Averaging just over 300 pages per book. Edited September 14, 2017 by willoyd Quote
bookmonkey Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 40 so far. I've never counted how many books I read before, so I don't know how it compares. Quote
chesilbeach Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Had a fantastic week of reading on holiday, finishing eight books in the week, so I'm now upto 116. Quote
Nollaig Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I'm up to 60, and 7 ahead of schedule, so very pleased. I'm tearing through them because I've found a couple of police thriller series I'm really enjoying. Quote
lauraloves Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Only 19 - I somehow dont think I'm going to hit my goal of 52 for the year Quote
frankie Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Only 32 I think. This is my lowest number in years. In over a decade, I'm sure! Quote
Talisman Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I should finish no. 78 later on today, so am on target to easily reach 90 again this year - probably a few more. Quote
Nollaig Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I'm on 69. For a few weeks I've been staying at exactly 7 books ahead of schedule, so if I keep that up I should hit a total of 80+ for the year. And that's not including comics. But it will include graphic novels. (I just can't justify including a 130 page comic as a 'book', if anything, it equates to a short story! But graphic novels have 300+ pages quite often.) Quote
shirley Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I have got up to 120+ it has made it so much easier having a list and writing down all the books as I read them. Quote
