Can we reach 10,000? August tally
5 books in August, but 8 overall- I'm new to the group and haven't added my tally to any of the other threads.
19 for August, and its 70/30 i'll finish one more tonight so maybe 20 :)
SIX BOOKS. \o/ My record this year. Although a lot were short reads. :P
4 in August which is way more than I usually read. I'm sure my speed and stamina will improve.
Mod
Actually, thought it was more. I feel like I read a lot of mysteries!
6 for me but a few av been short stories
How the hell would u read 71 books in a month lol

I've read 6 books in the month of August.
I was able to get in 19. would have been more but there was about a week where I was completely not motivated to read. weird, I know.

5 in August :DBut 'cause I only joined in August: over the year I read 16... if you want to add all of them to the tally :)

Nothing crazy about doing what you love to do for as long as you want to do it each day. Different people have different reading speeds, read books of different lengths, have a different amount of time each day to spend on reading. My mother is a fast reader, and I've seen her devour an entire book in an hour - if she did that 2 or 3 times a day, she could get through 71 books in a month easily, and I wouldn't call it crazy. If it's what you love to do, it's what you love to do, and this group is the right place to be to share that love. I would think fellow book-lovers would understand that more than anyone!
Thanks for the numbers, everyone! We're doing great so far this month!
Mod
I am rather jealous of the people who can read that many books in one month. If I could sit and read all day long I would. Unfortunately I have other responsibilities that don't permit me to do that. :)
Mod
They don't necessarily sit and read all day, and they probably have responsibilities of their own. Like I said - different reading speeds, different lifestyles.
Guys, can we try not to make anyone feel like they're being judged here, please? As long as everyone is reading, no matter how much, the world is a better place. Thanks.
Agree Faye - this group is all about supporting each other through our goals, no matter what # that is. It's all about loving to read!

They may have a debilitating addiction, but without said addiction, we'd be all that much farther from 10,000. And in the end, it is all about that 10K. So bring on those addicts.
Tongue firmly in cheek, of course.
Also some people can take in a page at a time when they read, so they don't necessarily read all day long. My daughter is an example, she reads a 300 page book in about a half hour. We do not know how she does it, but I found out my father-in-law reads in a similar fashion. So again, everyone has different abilities. I'm a one-word-at-a-time type person. What takes her 30 minutes usually takes me three days. :)
I didn't mean they read all day. I want to read all day. sorry if anyone took it that way.

(For our new members: We're trying to see if we as a group can read 10,000 books this year, so at the end of each month each member counts up how many books they've read, and they post that number to that month's tally thread. Every member is free to join in!)
