3 more books 1 day ago

I’ve been reading Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegone Days since Feb, so I’m going to try and read a bit of that each weekend. It’s a lovely book and easy to dip into.
My train read is Suzanne Enoch, The Rake, can’t get enough regency romances at the moment; and then for work I have to read William Brodrick’s The Sixth Lamentation. So that’s another 3 read and possibly given away, hopefully by the end of Aug.

What keeps getting in the way of this goal is having to read things for work. And borrowing books from work. And well-meaning friends lending me books because I’m not assertive enough to tell them no thanks:~ But on the whole I’m pretty good about not getting new ones.



mark finally has broadband

I've been reading more since summer started 2 days ago

Maybe I’ll be able to finsh this goal by next summer.



currently 1 week ago

I probably have about 200 unread books, plus another 20 unheard audiobooks.

My plan is to not spend any more money on books until I have read/listened to 100 of the ones I have.

Getting there 1 week ago

4 more books down.



PTA Thrift Shop 2 weeks ago

I keep buying books at thrift shops (even though I have tons of books I haven’t gotten around to reading yet). I just found Nickel and Dimed for $.25! This goal may go into the give-up list very soon. lol

Stupid me 2 weeks ago

I have read many book, but I always keep buying new ones and the list is just getting longer. Surely I will need at least one more year to finish all. If not more.



Summer goals 2 weeks ago

I have had to read school books all this year for my English degree, so I want to read my own books this summer. Furthermore, I have tons of books on my shelves that I haven’t read yet, so I want to read these before buying any more!

2 more down 3 weeks ago

I go back and forth between knitting and reading. I finished 2 more books this week and am starting a new one in a bit. I’m giving myself plenty of time because I have many books to read.



160 Total 4 weeks ago

I just inventoried my unread books: 160 total. If I read a book a week this goal is going to take me over three years. Maybe time to prune the collection?

Then again, can you ever really have too many books?
