52 Books in 52 Weeks (2011) discussion

Thanks for inviting me to the group Yasmine. :)

So you guys, what's on your lists for the 52 Books challenge?

If everyone makes a "52-books" shelf as Yasmine outlined in the blog, it would be great to use the shelf to see what everyone is reading:

This is what I have planned to read so far: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Not quite 52 yet, but I'll decide what to read next after some time =D

This is what it's on my shelf :D
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

These are mine :D
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

I'd like to ask, how can I add a new shelf?

To add a new shelf, all you have to do is 'edit shelves', and then type a new name and press enter. It will automatically create the shelf for you.

Here's mine, http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/... :D

And mine http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

It still needs lots of work but I can't seem to decide what to put in it.
Any reccomendations?

Najd, you're free to start a thread asking about that. A lot of people seem to need it as well and you could exchange recommendations!

Great idea, will do! :D

this is my shelf for now http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

That's my shelf for now :D http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Hopefully I'll have the list done by the end of the month =)

This is my list
it still needs more but I'll get to it with time

I'm in this group, but on one condition, I get to do 20 :).

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

I was very proud this year because I was expecting to read only twelve, and have read fifteen so far. So for me, twenty will be an even bigger achievement. And if I read more, I wouldn't mind :).

I hope I still get to join.

Seleucid,
Welcome! This group is really for people who are planning to read 52 books even if they eventually don't. I, myself, never even read close to 52 books in a year. I do trust I can do it though and so do a lot of people! However, everyone is more than welcome here for support and motivation. :D

Good luck!

Hmmm.

Should I unsubscribe then?

I would love to come back in a year and see how many actually did it. But be careful not to rush good books in the process :)

No, you should not! :D
We are proud to have another intellectual reader here!

You don't have to come back in a year, you get to witness it. And of course. :D

This is a very early preliminary version of my list, probably will change a couple and will definitely add more :

Cheers !

that's mine so far =D

good idea guys...
here's mine so far: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...-

will probably not complete it soon.. i'll be adding books through 2011, and maybe removing others.

here is mine:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Wow! Impressive lists! I'll get back with my list soon. :D

Miss Meanovic,
It's my pleasure, believe me!

Alanoud,
I covered that question in the blog. it doesn't matter if the book is 60 pages or a billion pages, a book is a book. However you can balance it out by reading a 100-page book with that 600-page book in two weeks, taking a couple of days for the short book and longer for the thick book.

You're welcome! :D

So here's my modest list. I have a handful of books so far and i plan to build it up as i progress depending on the availability of the books in my local bookstores.

Thanx Yasmine for the invite! Clever idea as always ;)

That's just my to-read shelf; I too plan on filling up the 52-books one as I go on.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

This is a starting list...I will add more as I go along...have a big pile of books here that are waiting for me to read so will not be at a loss for something to add to this list.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Hey everyone, What an incredible idea to gather here to read together and share good books.

I did my list, but it isn't complete yet, i am trying to choose books form all genre, Arabic and English, Fictional, scientific, and biographical.
I believe I Can do it.
hopefully you all can do it too.
what matter most is the honor of trying
:)
this my unfinished list http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Hey everyone,
here is my unfinished list of 52 books I am planning on reading in 52 weeks in 2011 ... I found 37 so far, hope to complete my list soon... http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Hi everyone

Just started putting my list together, here it is. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

It's a work in progress some stuff might never be read and some new, unexpected stuff is bound to be added. I'm looking forward to an interesting year of reading

I got an ARC copy of a Agent X by Noah Boyd that is a mystery.

I don't get many ARC books but wanted to know if I get any more in the coming year if I can count them as part of this challenge when I read them???

Yes you can, Ivy!

Hi everyone!

I only switched a few from my to-read to my 52 books but among them are

Gods in Alabama
Wicked
House of Sand and Fog
Home: A Memoir - Julie Andrews

Mostly books I have been meaning to read but haven't gotten around to it yet, this is a great challenge to push me to read all the books I own but haven't read yet! Thanks for letting me join!

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

my list : )
super excited :D ,,

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

This My list books :D

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

This my list :}

I think I'll add mine as I go along. I can't be tied to anything...I just sit in my library until something speaks to me, as it were. There are a few books I know I want to read this year, but I'm not really married to any of them.

made my list of books I wanted to read for so long & I'm slowly adding the books I currently/finished reading :)

Thank you having me in this group. Here is my list. I might do some changes later on.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Lovely to meet you, fellow readers! I have more than 52 books on my list because I like a wide choice. Here is my "to read" shelf:

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Happy reading!

Everyone seems to have alot of good choices (:
Here is mine ^^
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...-

I made a whole big list when I first started out this year, even making the effort to assign each book a card from a deck that I could shuffle and then pick out at random to decide what to read next. I've already gone off it though, I'll probably still use it if I'm REALLY indecisive but for now I'm in "whatever the hell I feel like" mode.

The card shuffling thing is a really good idea! If I'm not in the middle of series or something I'm always so indecisive about what to read next, I may have to try that! :)
