88 according to my Goodreads; 17 were the Black Butler manga lol.

Salli: I'm doing the BBC list too! My friend sent it to me and sadly 5 years later I'm still working on it lol (and I started out with 48 read!) I'm getting down to the ones that will take a long time (Bible) or the ones I reeeeeally don't want to read (War and Peace) it will probably take me 5 more years to complete the list.

The only time I read is when I read the boards or when I read my daughter a bedtime story. Though I used to read alot when I was younger for pleasure but I don't that much anymore.

Ahhh I used to read a lot more a few years back, but lately I've been really busy with either school, or ponies, or what ever I decide to spend my time on haha.
This past year I think I've only had time to read three books. I've started a new book now tho, and working on getting that read :)
Definitely the best book I read this year was 'James Herriot's Favourite Dog stories'. I loved that a lot! Definitely recommend if you like dogs or other animals. He has great stories about his patients etc!

Presently I've read a total of 10 for the year. In the middle of book number 11.

Been one of those 'off years' in terms of books. Not a lot has caught my interest or held it, unfortunately. On the upside typically after a year of nothing piquing my interest I seem to devour every book I can get my hands on the following year. So maybe I just burn myself out on too many books one year, which results in very few the next. Or maybe there really has been too little time and nothing good to read.  :huh:

I haven't devoted much time to reading the past few years so I've been working to change that recently. I keep ebooks on my phone now since it's more convenient to read them from there and I can keep a bunch of them on there at once.

I have always enjoyed reading but I have to say that I haven't read a single book in the past year. :blush: I have a 2 year old and I just don't seem to have the energy to read anymore. After she goes to bed I am usually on the arena. :P

I have read tons of kids books over and over again......does that count?????

ok so i read the first novel in the sookie stackhouse / true blood series back in the summer and as of monday i'm chomping through the biography of adam ant  :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: the man is a genius and i can't leave the book alone :P 

i'm old fashioned, i don't ever want to read a book on a tablet or kindle thing, sorry everyone but i like the feel of paper thru my fingers as i turn a page... and the blasted carpal tunnel in my wrists won't let me hold a book for very long without pain so there's no way i could hold anything electronic without the ability to keep adjusting my grip :(

Some of my reads were novellas and shorter pieces, but my special skill is being a scary fast reader :D It used to drive my parents nuts that I would go through books so fast, but that's what libraries are for!
