^ Nice, we have the same goal. But I am still in the middle of book #5.
I forgot all about this thread until now!

I'm doing much better than I expected. I'm at 15, half way through my goal of 30. The fifty shades and hunger games are really helping up my total--they are quick reads and I'm flying through them!
I'm sure you will be done before you even know it =) I can't wait until my friend lends me more books tmr!!
I've finally ventured into this thread because I was initially intimidated by the idea of setting a goal for reading. lol
I have time if I make time.... but for some reason, it's easier for me to justify wasting an hour on the internet than spend it reading. Mostly because I hate putting a book down until I'm done reading it. If i start a book, I have a hard time putting it down and focusing on other priorities, so I generally just reread my favorites, because I can put them down easy, or I surf tpf because I can walk away.
Between work and a 2 year old, I just kind of gave up. (sigh)
I think I've read maybe 10 new books this year, but it "doesn't count" for me because they were super simple YA books my students recommended.
I put down 20 books, but I think I'll be lucky to get in 10 good ones... and I'll only have about a 3 week window between the beginning of summer and a graduate class I'm taking.
I went to good reads and i'm exploring now... add me! My name is the same there.

OK, I am so glad I revisited this thread.
Finished my book!
Now on to the Nook, I borrowed 2 eBooks from the library and they are due in a few days.
Got to get busy!

I think this still counts. You read something! Went from start to finish.
Hope you enjoy whatever it is you delve into!
Nah, as long as you are reading. Good for you, all of us really.
I am a notoriously slow reader, it wasn't always like this, but it is now.
My library only loans eBooks for 7 days, I can never get it done, then it just *disappears*!
