With one day left to go, I'm sitting on 128 books read. And I doubt that will change because I've only just started both the Kindle book and the paper book I'm currently reading. So 128. And that's real, published books. I'm not including the manuscripts I read in there. Or the books I read to my kids. It's just the books I read myself for fun.
Wanna see what I read? I'll show you the list. How'd you do for reading in 2012? Achieve your goal?

Congrats! I haven't counted how many I read, but since I work as an editor, I probably read just as many if not more manuscripts than published books. I want to try to read more new releases in 2013.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of reading. I read 50, my goal.
ReplyDeleteYay for meeting your goal! I didn't have a goal. I was just curious to know how much I read....

ReplyDeletethe
1. Hunger Games Trilogy,
2. two graphic novels ('The Clarence Principle' and 'The Last Uniform'),
3. The Catcher In The Rye,
4. Girl With A Dragon Tattoo,
5. The Perks Of Being a Wallflower,
6. Les Miserable,
7. Why We Broke Up,
8. Beautiful Creatures,
9. Mortal Instruments- City of Bones
Some good books in there!
DeleteI am AMAZED by your reading list from last year! I probably finish about 12 books a year, although I still consider myself an avid reader. Also, I consider author blogs and writing education part of my reading. I can't really set a specific reading goal because I never know what I can accomplish. I have a mild mental condition that sometimes makes reading comprehension difficult, even though I can read words as fast as anyone. The difficulty comes and goes. It's been pretty bad the past few months, because stress makes it worse. I still ALWAYS have to have a book with me, though! :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive list! I never keep count, but I did read some very cool books this last year, including all 900+ pages of Justin Cronin's The Passage, which I loved.
ReplyDeleteGood for you and thanks for reading I'm Not Her. I see that you are a fellow Jodi Picoult fan!
