2011 Reading Challenge 75 books.

A couple of years ago someone posted a reading list challenge for so many books in the year 2009. I joined that challenge but forgot to keep track as winter turned to spring and my life got busy. So I thought I would give it another try for the year 2011. I am going back to my original goal of 75 books. Anyone else have any reading goals. Feel free to join me and keep us updated on your progress.

1. Sleeping with the Fishes by Mary Janice Davidson

Looks like I am off to a bit of a slow start.

I have never joined a reading challenge myself but I am doing my own. It is to read 12 books this year. I know it is not much but with two kids and everything else that goes with that my life its pretty busy. I see these list of books people read and I am amazed at how they do it. Dam they must be reading all the time. I have managed to read my book for this month plus two short stories about 100 pages each and 3 other short stories about 20 pages each. Good luck on your challenge.

I am single, so I don't have the obligations of a family and sometimes I read instead of watching TV. I also read very quickly I can read a book in an evening. I think reading at all is an accomplishment. Many people don't read at all these days. Good luck with your twelve books!

Thanks I agree about being able to read a book in an evening I have done that in the past. Thanks

I love to read, but I have never kept track of what I read or how many in a year. My husband and I wer talking about favorite authors and sometimes if you don't keep track it is hard to remember which ones you've already read. Good luck on your challenge.

Thanks. One year when I was a lot younger I kept track of how many books I read in a year because people kept asking me how many I read in a year. When I was in high school I average a book a day. Don't have that kind of time anymore. Enjoying your reading!

Each of the Thin Thread anthologies are 53 stories (true, life changing moments) which allows you to read one when you get the book, then one a week, so you'll have another book 'finished' to add to your list without overdosing on inspiration (it can happen!)
Or you can get their Thin Thread special editions that only have ten stories, easier to finish in a few days.

Thanks for the suggestion.
