Josh Too low of a challenge for you? Lol. You seem to read at a good pace to easily trump 50 books in a year.


message 2: by Ahmed (new)

Ahmed  Ejaz Congratulations Pink!, Awesome! you have read 50 book before 6 months. GREAT!

Philina CONGRATS!!!


message 4: by Pink (new)

Pink Thanks everyone.

Josh, I decided to lower my challenge from my usual 100 books as I was reading at a much slower pace at the end of last year. I suppose I should up it again now.


message 5: by Josh (new)

Josh Great work Pink! I'm not sure I could read 100 books a year. Work takes up too much of my time


message 6: by Pink (new)

Pink Yeah I understand that, sometimes I'm too busy working and get no reading done for weeks at a time, but then other times I read all day and finish a couple of books in one sitting. Before I joined GR I probably read 10 or 20 books a year maximum, but this group has definitely focused my reading. Plus there's always a group read or buddy read that I want to join in with and so I get through books quicker than I would otherwise. Although I don't think it really matters how many books you read. It's just nice to get swept away by a story.
