Title: I just finished my 11th read for 2007.
Description: How is your count going?


EllyMae58 - January 16, 2007 03:33 AM (GMT)
Just wondering how everyone is doing with their reading. I tend to read more during the weekends (doesn't everyone?) and I can usually finish a couple of books.


Three - January 16, 2007 03:45 AM (GMT)
I just finished #8.

lauren - January 16, 2007 03:46 AM (GMT)
Holy crap.

I'm working on #4.
But I've done a fair amount of textbook reading too that must count for something :bash:

I am on #8 for the year. The medicine I am taking is supposed to knock me out so I can get some sleep but instead its been keeping me up and I am getting lots of reading in.

Candy - January 16, 2007 04:20 AM (GMT)
I'm on #4... I blame that "book" I had to read - Maps For Lost Lovers... ugh.

Antheras - January 16, 2007 04:24 AM (GMT)
I'm slow off the mark this year. I'm working on #6...*sigh* Not really a good reason, just too busy doing other things.

giz-angel - January 16, 2007 08:13 AM (GMT)
I'm on #8 but I did give one up at page 287 so if I'd just hung on it would've been 9!

That's a long way in to give up!

I've just finished number 6

camis - January 16, 2007 10:36 AM (GMT)
I'm working on #4 & #5 at the minute. Hoping to reach 8 by the end of the month.

Breeze144 - January 16, 2007 11:20 AM (GMT)
Working on #6....only half way through the month, so that's on track!

Marlene - January 16, 2007 11:37 AM (GMT)
I am working on book 6 and 7.

I am shocked. I thought I read pretty quick for a non English habitant, but reading your posts, You guys seem to read 1 book every 2 days. :thumbsup:

This means you'll have read 180 books when 2008 comes up!!!!!!!! :o :bananadance:

darkpunkangel - January 16, 2007 12:13 PM (GMT)
I finished my 20th book last night, its the most I ever read in half a month so far :o . I think

OMG :blink:
This means you have read more than 1 book a day!!!! :bash:

Good to see you punky :)

freelunch - January 16, 2007 12:48 PM (GMT)
I've finished three "proper" books this year, also two "graphic novels" and one kids lit book I read aloud to my family. I have two currently "on the go" - one being read aloud and one for myself.

Which all means I'm on book #4 or on books #7 & #8 depending how you look at it...

cheesygiraffe - January 16, 2007 01:22 PM (GMT)
I'm reading my 7th book of the year. I'm right on track with where I usually am. ;)

needmorezoloft - January 16, 2007 01:45 PM (GMT)
I've hit a slump... I've only finished... um... one :(

I need to get my a$$ in gear! :whip:

SandDanz - January 16, 2007 02:12 PM (GMT)
I've been busy with other things, but I've finished 2... am part way through 2 more books and 1 audiobook! Hoping to finish "Sleeping With the Fishes" soon though because it's really funny and also because I want to start "You Suck" as soon as Amazon delivers! :D

caseyw - January 16, 2007 02:29 PM (GMT)
I'm on #6.

yourotherleft - January 16, 2007 02:48 PM (GMT)
I'm working on #3. Driving across the country (and back *sigh*) really cut into my reading time...I barely read anything for that whole week. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up the pace now, though....

azuki - January 16, 2007 02:50 PM (GMT)
Finished 9. #10 is Tuesdays with Morrrie and #11 Blessed are the Cheesemakers (really enjoying it). Just wishing that I have some gourmet cheese and wine to go with my reading...

fantasy221 - January 16, 2007 03:05 PM (GMT)
I'm on my 6th book but 2 were dnf. Well, I got pretty far in one before giving up and I plan on coming back to the other one.

TwiggySC1973 - January 16, 2007 03:20 PM (GMT)
I'm on book #3 and I am trying to do the read a book from the NY Times Bestseller list every month again too, and I have January's read in!

Ri - January 16, 2007 03:25 PM (GMT)
I am working on #4 and #5. This is great for my baby brain! I have packed up all of my books and made 2 shelves of books to release in the next week before we move. It was great to really pour over my shelves and decide what I truly will read and what I am ready to pass on. If you happen to see a book you sent me get released without being read, don't be sad. :( Be happy that the book is getting a whole new life! :P

alsgal - January 16, 2007 03:46 PM (GMT)
I'm working on number 7. Since I was sick all weekend, I had alot of time to read (when I wasn't sleeping) so I read 2 1/2 books this weekend (which is good for me).

Megi53 - January 16, 2007 03:57 PM (GMT)
The way I count, it's 12.

5 kids' books from work.
2 joke books
1 how-to book
1 romance
1 story collection

That leaves 2 "real" books!

noumena12 - January 16, 2007 04:02 PM (GMT)
WOW!!! 20 books!! And I thought I was doing good with my 1 book a day thing. Today is the 16th and I've finished 17 books!

Although, I am waiting to crash and burn because I know I can't keep it up.

Soooooo much pressure!

Rosie - January 16, 2007 04:04 PM (GMT)
I'm halfway through #10 for this year - work has been DEAD so it's given me extra reading time.....
and #10 is Desert Places by Blake Crouch which may well be the sickest piece of sick shit I've ever read....

I think Rosie means that there aren't any customers to wait on, so she has plenty of time to read while at work. Right, Rosie?

That's right.... no customers.... BORING.... working on getting a different job, sick and tired of retail.....

geishabird - January 16, 2007 05:00 PM (GMT)
I am reading #8 right now. I have sworn to make 2007 "Clear Out The Bookshelves" year (yes, you all laugh, I know...) :P

EDIT: I miscounted; I'm on #9 :D

I've read that one!! I think I wrote in my JE that it "grabs you and doesn't let go" until the last page, or something to that effect.

I really should read the sequel....

Guest - January 16, 2007 05:36 PM (GMT)
Well I am a little over half way through # :( 1. With moving and work, I just have not had the time to read. I started this book in December and still have to finish it. It is not a bad book either, just no time. Hopefully after I get my unpacking done, I will get a bit of free time.

wss4 - January 16, 2007 05:37 PM (GMT)
That was me!! :whistle:
