I think I started the second week of January, but them holidays is good reason, so you've got a good shot. 8-)
On the other hand, lets not even talk about how I did for 50recipechallenge. I'm thinking I might have hit 4.

WELL DONE.

I am now inclined to do the same.. time to visit the Bloomington public library. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Thanks. I have more stringent rules than the requirements which are simply to read 50 books within a year. If you want to follow the group, get recommendations, accrue braggign rights, the people's ovation, and fame forever, check out 50bookchallenge.

Would that be in a year? (I wouldn't have pegged you for a romance novel devotee - I would have expected more of a sci-fi/fantasy bent...)

Yup. Within a year. I'm not exactly fussy about genre. I tend to dislike most sobby dramatic stories, I love action/adventure, romance, mystery. I made an conscience effort to not count romance novels because many of the ones I like are quite short, and I don't consider them a real broadening experience. I wanted 50bc to encourage me to seek out books I hadn't read and might not have read in the normal course of business.
Oddly enough, the first book I read this year was one your parents sent me and it was humour. 8-)

Congrats! Do you have a list somewhere of the books you read?

(Reply) (Thread)

Why yes, yes I do. 8-) I'm using the livejournal memories feature to track all of my book posts. You can see them here: 50 book challenge memories. Soon I shall create a new memory keyword for 50bc05!
I also have a memory keyword set for book recommendations, if you're looking for ideas of something you want to read.
