Trying to hit 156. At the beginning of the month, I still had something like 50 books left to get to that number and had to average one book every two ish days. *Think* I’m in front of that curve at the moment. In the middle of an eight book series right now (starting book 3) that I’m trying to finish before the end of the month. 2200+ pages total.
@Prisca lol. I happen to have an easy job that pays very well. I also have no kids and no life outside my home. And I don’t watch much TV or even play many video games right now. I’ve had other years where I played games more/ watched more TV where I struggled to read even half of what I have so far this year.
I don’t think so. I think if you forget to update it, documentation isn’t important to you. I don’t think you should waste your time doing things not important to you.
I keep track on Goodreads. I am at 126 completed. My goal was 100. But we all read at our own pace! I read all the time. Riding in the car. Walking down the street. While my family watches tv…..
I’ll find out my total on New Year’s Day. Every time I finish a book, I put a dollar in my book bank. On New Year’s Day I count it up and take a field trip to the book store. No peeking beforehand ??
About 46 (although I think the number might include one or two I started but didn’t finish), and soon halfway through another one. I hope to get to 50, but I also plan on reading a really super duper fat one in November (I won’t be able to join NaNoWriMo this year, so I think I’m going to be reading a book on writing instead.)
Currently working on book 49 of my own but including the books that I read to my children? Far too many to count! ? Although I reread the same books to my littlest one over and over and over and over again, so I’m not sure it counts ?
Definitely. It makes me happy. I did recently sit down and figure out how long it will take me to read my TBR. That was a mistake. I would need to live 500+ years to read them all.

Astaghfirullah!
68 days for 34 books. Crap. I’m not as ahead of the curve as I thought. 🙁
Geeeeeeeezzzzzzzz
Bro you just made me feel like I’m not a bookworm. I don’t deserve that title????
@Prisca lol. I happen to have an easy job that pays very well. I also have no kids and no life outside my home. And I don’t watch much TV or even play many video games right now. I’ve had other years where I played games more/ watched more TV where I struggled to read even half of what I have so far this year.
And I have (retired, mostly) friends that have read more than double what *I* have 😀
47
Wow I’ve finished about 5
Does textbooks for school count? 8 textbooks and 35 fiction books
I was ill all summer, but I got better in the fall and I just did a book count the other evening. Only 26 books by mid october! Feels weird to me.
83
I’ve lost count 🙂
That’s what goodreads is for. ?
I forget to update it.
I see.
But thanks…I know I need to get better about documentation.
I don’t think so. I think if you forget to update it, documentation isn’t important to you. I don’t think you should waste your time doing things not important to you.
Just 52.
Now I won’t say I done 15 so far. With the numbers people done give hear. I’m shocked.

25 so far …
I think the important thing is that you enjoy all the books you have read. The number of pages of the book you read is different.
Maybe a few more than 36.
Lost count
Keep count on Goodreads 🙂
Two chapters off of 70 reads this year. My goodreads challenge is 80 so I’m confident I can do it ?

I keep track on Goodreads. I am at 126 completed. My goal was 100. But we all read at our own pace! I read all the time. Riding in the car. Walking down the street. While my family watches tv…..

I’ll find out my total on New Year’s Day. Every time I finish a book, I put a dollar in my book bank. On New Year’s Day I count it up and take a field trip to the book store. No peeking beforehand ??
That is a great idea for kids too!
I love this idea for both adults and kids. Especially kids, itsa great incentive to get them to read more. Thanks for the idea ❤️?
This sounds like a good idea .. I’m going to start this next year.
@Glenna Me too!!
Great idea!
I love this idea ??
42. Was originally 26
61 my goal was 40
About 46 (although I think the number might include one or two I started but didn’t finish), and soon halfway through another one. I hope to get to 50, but I also plan on reading a really super duper fat one in November (I won’t be able to join NaNoWriMo this year, so I think I’m going to be reading a book on writing instead.)
82!

74, I think
Not the foggiest x

Currently working on book 49 of my own but including the books that I read to my children? Far too many to count! ? Although I reread the same books to my littlest one over and over and over and over again, so I’m not sure it counts ?

Wow!
Whitney Wyant and @Donna I might read a little fast.
Lucky you! You can read more books that way.
Definitely. It makes me happy. I did recently sit down and figure out how long it will take me to read my TBR. That was a mistake. I would need to live 500+ years to read them all.
@Melissa sounds like my TBR, too
