I've finished 1 of 40. A Betrayal in Winter by Daniel Abraham, read on my Kindle. Now starting #2, The Widow of the South by Robert Hicks, a hardback book which I have promised to send to a friend and fellow book-swapper who lives in Massachusetts. There is a Kindle edition available and I may choose to mail the hardback and finish reading it on the Kindle.

Okay, finished 3/50 last night: Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin. It was excellent, but the sequels got meh reviews and are over-priced, so I am moving on

5/50 Stand by for Mars, the first in the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet series. Last half was a little slow, but overall, a fun read. Future updates will go in the 'What are we reading' thread...

I'd love to join the challenge, but I'm tapped out on Fictionwise subscriptions for the next year. I can get in a read from time to time but not enough for a challenge.

I'd like to play
![]() I'm finishing up Strangers by Dean Koontz tonight, so I'll start with whatever I choose to read next. I think I can do 50 in the next two months. One question, does a reread count? |

I would say a re-read counts. I'm wondering about the rule for books you started before the summer began and have not finished yet. I often have more than one on the go

Same here (about multi-books in progress).
![]() I typically reread a couple of books a week because I would put us in the poor house if I didn't. ![]() |

Glad to hear they count, although I've now read 8 books since this started and I've started reading both 9 and 10. I didn't used to have multiple books in progress but my reader is changing that. If I'm reading a pbook I always have an ebook in progress as well! |

Finished 1/25, Right As Rain by George Pelacanos. Do not recommend it.
Rereading The Third Option by Vince Flynn. Very good! |

I've made it to 10 books. I've managed to borrow lots of books I've been waiting for from the library and my sister so I'll be reading 2 at a time for a while - 1 paper book and 1 ebook.
Currently my ebook is The Woman in White, which should keep me going for a while, and the paper one is The Visible World by Mark Slouka. My next contract starts on Monday so I think my reading will be slowing down a bit from then on ![]() |

In the wee hours of the morning, I finished reading The Widow of the South by Robert Hicks. That makes me 2/40 for this challenge. I'm starting on #3, Talk Nerdy to Me by Vicki Lewis Thompson. This is a paperback book, which I have promised to a fellow book swapper who lives in The Netherlands.

I'm not sure I have time for a challenge, but I can pipe in with what I have recently read.
