    1. LOL, and that's fine, Karyn. I just like to have a record of which books I've read. I let Goodreads to the organizing. ;o)

    1. 90 books is a good goal, Stacy. LOL, yeah, sometimes it's the only thing I can point to as an accomplishment for the year.

  4. 133 for me--at least the published ones. I read even more unpublished manuscripts that were every bit as good as some of the books I read. I set my goal at 100 again this year. We'll see how I do. I've already added my 1st for the year. And remind me again...Mich State or Mich?

    1. Good job, Silver! Yeah, if I counted the unpublished, I'd have more, but most of those reads were my books anyway.

      I root for all the Michigan teams, but U of M is my favorite. They lost their bowl game, so it's GO SPARTANS! today. =o)

  5. I'm just a reader but I've read 180 some books so far this year with a goal of at least 225. This blog is interesting from a reader's point of view. The creative process authors go through is intriguing to me as well as the books they write.
