My summer challenge!
« on: July 14, 2013, 08:18:18 PM »
I plan to read 100 books by the time september rolls around! Right now I'm on book #53.

I was wondering if anyone would like to join me in the challenge for the second half of summer? 50 books in july-august.

You should use Goodreads for this :) They even give you a little progress meter.

I agree about Goodreads. :) I gave myself a teeny challenge of reading 15 books for this whole year and I'm already at 13. I don't think I can do 100 or 50 though, but I can certainly challenge myself to try more than I thought I could read. :)

Goodreads was too much work for me than entering it into a spreadsheet, oddly enough. I just kept getting distracted with all the other features. But maybe I could set up a group on there or something...

join Shelfari and add me! It's pretty easy to use, and I love it. I'm pretty bad about updating. My good friend and I always have a competition each year to see which person can read the most. Lots of times I fail, but I also try to explain reading a novel seven times a day with each class should totally count as seven books. :lol:

Good luck read those books! I'm bad about updating my list till I've read a ton and forgot half of them.

This is so neat! I would've loved to join but I just don't have the time to read that much unfortunaly, I read the most during winter. But best of luck! I hope you'll make it (and by the looks of it, you will). :)

Hmm, I am tempted, but don't need to read that many. I'll tell you what, I'll read all the books I need to read for A-Level English by the end of August with you! ^.^

I wish I had more time to sit and read books.  I'm still trying to make my way through David Sedaris' latest.

Haha I live near where Agatha Christie lived. In fact, this area of the UK is extremely famous for Agatha Christie and there is a museum dedicated to her :)

I'd love to join but i'm a member of a sci-fi/fantasy book club so I am already overwhelmed , in addition to all the professional literature I have to go through for my thesis. Good luck though! that's a pretty amazing feat if you manage it!
