Lisa R.’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

3 books ahead!

I've read 67 of 50. I am so glad I was able to surpass the goal I set for myself.

I've read 40 books so far this year, meeting my goal. Looks like I should increase my goal :)

I am at 28 of 30. I am amazed that I've been able to read so much!

3091 pages read :)

Currently, I have two audiobooks, one book club book and one library book all in the process of being read/listened to. For me to read or listen to multiple books at the same time I need them to be very different (or else I end up a little confused).

My widget says that I am 17 books ahead of schedule.

Thanks Kassandrla! I knew it was easy to find, I just couldn't remember :)
January, 2528 pages read.

Does anyone know where can I obtain the page count of books read to date?

I started my second audio book this year as well. I'm listening to An Impartial Witness by Charles Todd. It's the second Bess Crawford novel.

I am working on my first audiobook of the year

I am going to keep my goal of 30. I have managed to read more than my 2914 goal, but I don't want to put to much pressure on myself. I'm sure that I will exceed my goal

For me it can depend on the reader. I agree that listening does take longer but, I find that if the book isn't holdong my interest or if it's late, I don't read every word.

I'm in. Level 4 for me as I like to listen to long books. I have an Audible membership and I use my library's overdrive system as well. It will be great to see the reviews of not only the books, but the reader (s) as well.

A question for the group. How will audiobooks tally into the 2015 reading challenge? Will they be added into count as books read? I only ask because when I enter a book as "currently reading" I don't choose a version of a book.

Currently, I am reading one book (paperback) and one on my Nook. I always have one going in audio version for travel and the gym.

4 in July for me.

@Tara, they were great! I will have to think of some other title that I enjoyed.

I remember reading the Nancy Drew Mysteries and the Hardy Boys. Still like my mysteries. I also loved Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, The Trumpet of the Swan. Those are just a few that I can remember. I always had library books at home to read.

Narin, try Sue Grafton. She might be up to X by now.
