Books Made Me Broke discussion

How many books did you pledge to read? How close are you to reaching your goal?

I said I would read 25 knowing I have already read 12 this year I thought it would be an easier goal in my busy schedule. Hoping to double that next year...

I think that's a great goal! I set mine for 50, and I'm wondering if that's maybe too much...I've only read 23, and it's already July

I did 50 too for my 2013 goal! Already read 17 so I need to watch less movies. But it's blockbuster season! So hard!

My reading challenge is 50 for 2013, and I am on number 6 atm. That's only because I started the challenge in July

I pledge to read 50. I think I'm at 18. It's over in the challenge: 50 books group. But I think I'm gonna go for pages instead

I have read a couple of those books with low page count as well. The Etiquette for wine lovers, and Etiquette of an English tea are just as small as a wallet, and with 65 pages each. Lots of pictures. Zero stress.

55 books!

100 books

-_- Now I'm jealous.

51 books.

I'm really far from my goal I have read 40 books of the 100.

omg FORTY BOOKS!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BOOKS I'VE READ THIS YEAR?!?!??? 23!! TWENTY-THREE!!!!

No, forty is a good amount.

My goal is 50 this year, but i hope I will read more than that :) Currently at 36 books

I set my goal at 150 (I know it's really high). I have already read 110, so I am thinking of moving it up to 200, but I'm still not sure yet.

Last year, on New Years, my best friend and I set a goal of finishing 100 books. We wrote down all the books we've finished so we don't lose count. A few months before the next year started, I counted my list, it was about 130 books, give or take 4. I'm hoping that this upcoming year, we'd finish 150-200 books :)

My goal is 50. It's pretty low, but I want to start off low then go higher. I only have read 26 so I have to pick up my pace :)

Fifty isn't low. I'm doing fifty, and I thinks it's a great place to start. You can always adjust it if you need to.

Fifty is not low. Fifty is about a book a week, which is pretty good!

Thanks guys :)

I set mine for 60 and I'm at 44 already!

Thats great Samantha!! :)

My goal for this year is 25 books. I think I am currently at 17, so I am doing pretty good so far!
