Ben Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Good look with this year's reading. I think with a bit of luck and a steady mojo I could hit 100 this year. Quote
busy91 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks. Looking at my first few books, I really need to start reading some FICTION! Quote
Talisman Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I think you do - much as I like non-fiction, we all need a break from it now and then to get the old imagination running again and lighten things up a little ... I have been reading a lot of quite heavy books myself this month (about various war zones and so on), so could do with something lighter myself. Quote
busy91 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Well I've read my first fiction book of the year!! Quote
busy91 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 I'm plodding along....over 1/2 way to my goal of 85. Quote
busy91 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 84% done. I'm going to concentrate on Fiction for the rest of the year. Quote
busy91 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 OMG I might ACTUALLY make it to 100!! Quote
Chrissy Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 That would be very cool. Should I keep my reading (not page turning) fingers crossed? Quote
busy91 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 I will get to 100, oh yes, I will get to 100! I should be there by mid December. Quote
julie Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Great job, Busy I thought I was doing good if I hit 50 . You are an inspiration for me to "up my game" a bit for next year . Quote
busy91 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Julie, I didn't think I'd get this far. Last year my goal was 70 and I did 89. So I thought I'd do 89 again, but it seems no matter what number I chose, I surpass. I don't know how brave I'll be next year. I'm thinking I'll do between 85-90 books. Quote
frankie Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 OMG I might ACTUALLY make it to 100!! Yes you actually might, and you actually did! Way to go busy91, congrats! Quote
busy91 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks Frankie, We still have 10 days left. I'm hoping to get a nice round 110! But if not, I'm happy with being 100+. Quote
vodkafan Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Well done busy91 ! Sorry I did not pay more attention to your blog. I don't remember seeing any of your posts Quote
busy91 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks Vodkafan. I don't post much outside of this thread. I should get better about that! Thanks Tassie, Not sure of my 2013 numbers yet. I need to see if I want to shoot for the 100 again. Edited December 27, 2012 by busy91 Quote
