    I may not make it.

    I honestly feel a little weird keeping count, because I never have before. But I've only read 32 books so far this year...

    I know I'm capable of reading the remaining 18 in 2 months, but I don't really see it happening.

    Ya know... life and all.

    Keep it up :)
    Just set like a little target everyday like one chapter or something.
    I've just finished my 50 books at the same time as doing my A levels, it's hard but possible.

    If you don't do 50 oh well! Make your goal 35 and if you make it add 2 more books till the end of the year! 32 is way more then I can get my DH to read in 5 years, maybe even 10!!!!

    I tried this for the first time this year. Last year, I read a total of 24 books. I am currently at book #39. Like,Chris, I doubt I will make it.I am not giving up yet! I just updated my list last night to add to this group at end of December.I read some "dense" books this year and that slowed me down.But I have tried all sorts of new authors and books, I never would have read! It is worthwihile and if not this year, I will try again next year.I already have a list started for 2010.

    Thirty-two books in one year is great! I say do you what you can and just congratulate yourself on a job well done!

    Well it's a big goal IMO. :0) I'm on #20, but I started 4 months into the year with this challenge. So as of right now I'm not going to make it if I count Jan to Jan, but I might make it if I count May to May. Tho I do know what I've read this year... I'd like to say Jan to Jan. Well anyway so it's about 6 books a month to make it.

    I think your doing well and should just keep going with it.

    Well... I'm up to 35 now.

    The funny thing is that I read them all in the past 4 days. Admittedly, they weren't the most difficult reads though. I think I may stick with easy reads and see what happens. Thanks for the support everyone!
