Did we move from 100 to 50?
I've got 15 done so far...my challenge is to read a book a day this month. So far so good! |

I've made it to 20 and I've nearly finished 21. The incentive of return dates on library books is helping me keep going.

I've totally missed this,I've been neglecting mobilereads FAR too long !
I have WAY too many unread ebooks(many are classics,that I've read before,but want to re-read) on my reader-but I've also got a bunch of "regular" books.So I'll be mixing both. I have to doublecheck my goodreads,but my guesstimate is that so far this summer (since Memorial Day) ,I've read about 20 books (regular) and maybe 10 ebooks (I need to do a much better job of adding my ebooks to my goodreads). I'll log in there and fill in a status report here. I think I'm on track to read about 60 books over the summer,including that I'll probably read at least 10-15 books when I am officially on vacation in August..... |

Finished 19/20. I am well on track. Not bad for working/taking a course/moving! August, when all of that is done, will be a breeze.

I'm now 9/40. Will be flying on Wednesday and Saturday, so that will give me plenty of time to get some serious reading done. |

I've made it to 25 - half way! Thought I was going to slow down but I haven't been sleeping well ... plus sitting outside reading instead of inside using the computer during the day

Was trying to do a count,and its been maybe somewhere between 30-50 books.Towards the end of May I went on an adding binge,and added a bunch of books that I had read since May,as well as some that I had read years before that.By my best guess,I would say I have read about 40 books or so,since Memorial Day,maybe about 15 since 6/21 . I have 10 or so "current" reads, plus another 18 to read,and that's without counting the back log on my ereader.
If any of you are on FB or Goodreads- my list is there (on Goodreads,and also GR on FB.) Cheers !!! Happy reading !!! |

I'm way behind schedule, at some point I'm going to have to finish like 3 or 4 books in a week to catch back up. I need a vacation. Another book down, I don't know which one is going to be up next. I still have another chapter or two on Stiff but the later chapters are quite boring and I almost don't want to finish it, its like cough syrup I just have to hold my nose and swallow.
Completed 6/25 Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch Series 009 - Lost Light Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch Series 010 - The Narrows Charlaine Harris - Sookie Stackhouse Series 001 - Dead Until Dark Charlaine Harris - Sookie Stackhouse Series 002 - Living Dead In Dallas Charlaine Harris - Sookie Stackhouse Series 003 - Club Dead David Price - The Google Story Current Reads Mary Roach - Stiff, The Curious Life of Human Cadavers Owen Linzmayer - Apple Confidential 2.0 |

I've made it to 30 - but things are now slowing down as my life gets busier. Have had to choose between MobileRead and reading this week and reading won. Now I have been distracted by my computer again!
