75 Books...More or Less! discussion

I didn't have a thread for 2015 but I did read 179 books and hope to read at least that many this year if not more.

I have already read 1 book and will finish the 2nd sometime later today. I'll be back with those books later, but for now marking my spot.

Wow. That's impressive! Good Luck!

Welcome back to the threads, Leslie! What great number for last year!!

Thank you! my goal for this year is 175....gotta keep going!

Wow, 45 pounds of books!

Andrea wrote: "Wow, 45 pounds of books!"

yup....and I even took a few books out. thankfully many were for my great-niece!

I finished this challenge awhile ago and have moved it several times but it keeps coming back here.

I am up to 166 books read as of today. it says I am 25 books ahead of schedule which is good!

We go by personal goals even though the group is called '75 Books.' We all have different reading challenges. So we only move our post over when we've reached our own goal, not when we hit 75. :)

well I met my Goodreads challenge goal but still going!

Awesome job Leslie, I wish I could do as well on my diet as I do reading books...lol
