a book about every other day for the rest of the year in order to hit 50?

Not this year, I just started #51. Last year I only got around 30.

Nope, I did it!

I hope to hit around 60 this year.

Yeah, pretty much. I've even been listening to books on tape when driving to try to boost the numbers. When I drive to the beach or to visit family, that helps pass the time perfectly.

I realized during the summer that I had to strictly read at least a book a week order to make it and following that I've done pretty well. At one point I didn't think I was going to be able to do it (sad since I did last year), but I'm about 100 pages away from making it now.

I think no matter what you're able to accomplish is good though. It's probably more than you'd read if you didn't have this challenge and that's pretty good too.

I feel your pain! I was doing so well, until the fall and then I just dropped right off. But since this is the first year I've done this challenge, I'm pretty happy with my progress. Besides, I found a couple of the books I was racing through just to add a number - and I really didn't enjoy the books.

Maybe next year!
