i am going for 20.

I did 44 last year, so I guess I'll shoot for 50. I only count books that I actually read, not things like cookbooks or organizing/frugal books that I just skim through.

I am in 2 different once a month bookclubs, so I will read at least 24 with that!

I would like to read one more a month that I picked, so that will be 36 total. Hopefully more - I LOVE to read!!

I already read one this month and am on my second.

If people want to than why not. Sometimes there is nothing better than to escape into a Harlequin that you can read in less than a day.

I read insanely fast and I read everything, but magazines and cookbooks etc won't be included in my count here. Also, I usually have 4-6 books on completely different topics going at once. Say an inspirational, current fiction, financial, child rearing, and a classic (like War & Peace). When is anytime I have 5 min. Usually during naps etc. And I always take a book anywhere I go.

Since I am attempting the A-Z title challenge I will shoot for 26 cause there is 26 letters in the alphabet lol

i think 2 a month will do it for me. i finished one today. so i have three more to go. i haven't picked up the Twilight series yet, but i'm sure that help me knock out a few more books really quick!

so far i've read:
Phantoms by Dean Koontz
Saint by Ted Dekker
Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs
Fray by Joss Whedon
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
Showdown by Ted Dekker
Red Dwarf- Better than Life by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor
Einstein's Telescope by Evalyn Gates
Black by Ted Dekker
Split Infinity, book 1 by Piers Anthony
Vampire Hunter D, by Hideyuki Kikuchi
Evolution, Me and Other Freaks of Nature by Robin Brande
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I read 149 last year, and only 104 the year before, so I guess I could shoot for somewhere in the middle at 130. I am competitive, though, and will probably try to get over 149, just to best myself . I read really fast too, and I usually have several books around, since I use the library all the time (I have my masters in library science, and DH is actually our local library director). I usually read mysteries, general & historical fiction, and young adult fantasy/science fiction.
