**Update: Since I've been making such good headway into my reading books in 2013, I changed the amount from 50 to 75.
*** Update: Since I've been burning up the Kindle, and only had 10 books left to go on September 14th, I'm changing the goal to the same as last year.  Let's see if I can make 90 books read this year!

Yeah, I change it to 110.  That should be an attainable, but not too easy goal.

  1. I ended up reading 100 last year but only 98 counted on Goodreads because two were rereads. I'm continuing my end-of-year reading marathon to get back in reading shape for the upcoming contest season. I have RITAs and Golden Heart entries to read.

    I've read 9 books so far, and working on #10, Darynda Jones's SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT. It's from the library so once it goes back, the next on my list is a "private" MS...*whistles Dixie*... Just finished up JB Lynn's HITWOMAN books. LOVED THEM! LOVED THEM like damn and whoa! Can't wait for the third one to come out.

    So many good books (and manuscripts!) and so little time...

  2. What a wonderful idea! I'll think I'll start keeping track of my books read and post at the beginning of next year.

    Happy Reading!

  3. Oh my goodness, 90? I had thought I'd get close to 50 last year, but I think I got to 39 (and one book written). Next year I'd like to do the same! Good luck with your 50!

  4. Ugh. Goodreads should count re-reads, Silver. I'm certainly counting it as a win for you. 9 books already? You go, girl. And yeah, JB's books are awesome.

    You should join up over at Goodreads, Karyn. It's a great way to keep track. And if you do, friend me. =o)

    Well, you've got a full time dayjob, Erica, so writing a book and reading 39 others is a win. Go you!

  5. Ummmm...so far the only book I've finished reading was one about cleaning....how pathetic is that?

    So touched that Silver enjoyed the Confessions books so much!

    May sign things "damn and whoa" from now on....sorta like "shock and awe".... ;-)

  6. LOL, not pathetic at all, JB. Any tips to pass along? And that is pretty amazing. 'Damn and whoa' is the perfect way to describe the Hitwoman books, so why not sign with that? ;o)
