That puts me at 64 books for the year, which according to Goodreads is 19 books (16%) ahead of schedule to meet my 111 in '11 goal!How are you doing on your goals? Are you going to meet the 111 in '11 if you are participating?
I like the 111 in 11 challenge- cute. I'd love to read that many books, but between teaching and life I get excited to squeeze in 5!
ReplyDeleteI am three books ahead! Nowhere near as great a result as yours but I'm willing to accept it. :) Especially since I've reread a few of my own books this month as part of their editing process (I read them top to bottom before getting to work on them) and I'm not counting those in my total. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm SO glad you set up the challenge. It's really encouraging me to keep reading! :)
I am cranking along! I am at 77 books for the year so far so I definitely think I'll reach 111 as long as I don't fall into any major slumps.
ReplyDeleteTime IS flying, I couldn't agree more, and it's starting to really bug me... ;) I am a little behind (I started late-ish in the game) - I read 10 in May, putting me at 46 at the end of the month. Love the challenge though - thanks again for the inspiration!
