read 75 books in 2006

Started to doubt whether I would do this as my current book was taking a long time to get through and reading time seemed to be getting less and less!

However, very pleased that I have now completed this and hope to manage 100 books in 2007!

74 Making Your Mind Up, Jill Mansell
75. The Island, Victoria Hislop

69. Eve Green, Susan Fletcher
70. Man and Boy, Tony Parsons
71. I Love Bad Boys, Lori Foster / Janelle Dennison / Donna Kaufmann
72. Tell Me Lies, Jennifer Crusie
73. Big Stone Gap, Adriana Trigiani

Not very many this month, but I still think I’ll meet the goal in December. Then I need to up my reading for next year!

61. Slightly Single, Wendy Markham
62. Artistic Licence, Katie Fforde
63. The One You Really Want, Jill Mansell
64. The Black Tower, P D James
65. Green Grass, Rafaella Barker

40. Ghost Moon, Karen Robards
41. The Tea House On Mulberry Street, Sharon Owens

43. Beauty’s Release, A N Roquelaure

A slow month, mainly because I’ve been really busy so reading has taken a back seat! Plus a couple of the books took a while to get through.

Still confident I can meet this goal though.

32. Goodbye, Dearest Holly, Kevin Wells
33. Know Your Cat’s Purr Points, Margaret Woodhouse

Halfway through the year and 12 books behind schedule. I’m going to adjust my target to 75 books for the year – realistically there is no way I am going to read 10 books per month for the next 6 months! Hopefully 75 will be achievable, then back up to 100 for next year!

Well, a third of the way through the year and way behind schedule. I’ll give it until the end of June and see where I am then as I may reduce my target for this year.
