Steven WOOHOO!!!


message 2: by Kate (new)

Kate Barnhill impressive!


Kelly (and the Book Boar) Ha! Thanks guys for noticing. I had no clue. I started the year with a goal of 52 and then bumped it when I surpassed that amount. Screw that idea - now I'm just going for bragging rights ; )


message 4: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Olson Nice! Lots of enjoyable moments there, I bet.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* Wow congrats =) I'm envious


message 6: by Paulette (new)

Paulette Congratulations! Great acomplishment. Not you can read for "fun" the rest of the year.


Kelly (and the Book Boar) This year's selections have been pretty fun (only one I didn't finish and that one isn't included on the tally).

Too bad I can't get my kids on board with that idea ; )

Allie Riley Yay!


message 9: by Jason (new)

Jason Pereira Wow, you really destroyed your reading goal! Good for you!! : )


Kelly (and the Book Boar) Thanks! Yeah, this challenge reignited an obsession ; )


Kelly (and the Book Boar) 200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 12: by binnudeya (new)

binnudeya Not sure whether to say congrats or YOU SHOW OFF! :D


message 13: by Jason (new)

Jason Pereira Wow! Are you reading and listening?


Kelly (and the Book Boar) LOL @ binnudeya - I started this challenge with a goal of reading 52 books (one a week) to let my kids know when I make them read 20 minutes a night they shouldn't think of it as punishment. I never realized how much I read until I started keeping track.

Jason - No audiobooks. I read every page.


message 15: by Jason (new)

Jason Pereira Very well done indeed! Lol

I started this year with a 200 challenge but changed it once I had exams and got to 40 books behind schedule :( but hey at least I'll feel like an over achiever :'D


♥ Charlotte ♥ Wow very good job! That's a crazy amount of books!

Kelly (and the Book Boar) Thanks! I don't think I'll be able to do it again this year, though.


♥ Charlotte ♥ Well I can understand. One year your doing nothing and the next your covered in stuff to do! Also, its pretty hard when you read all the great books there is to read!! XD


Kelly (and the Book Boar) LOL - tell that to my never shrinking to read list.


♥ Charlotte ♥ Hahaha *shrug* maybe I'm the only one with that problem. Then again, I spend more time reading books then looking for them. And when I'm finished with the stack on the side of my bed I'm practically lost about what life is again XD


Kelly (and the Book Boar) I try not to add to my list, but I have a serious addiction - not only to adding books before my brain gets a chance to fail me, but also to the library and used book stores. One day you'll see me on an episode of "Intervention." ; )


♥ Charlotte ♥ Lol XD haha yeah I am constantly getting books from the library. I have 5 coming in tomorrow! Though I rarely ever go to book stores just because most every book is a 'one-night-stand' in which I read it so quickly and then never pick it up again, which is in some cases unfortunately, but there are thousands of other books I must also read XD


Kelly (and the Book Boar) Yeah, I don't re-read much either, but I love to buy when the price is right. Maybe I'll end up on "Hoarders" too : )

♥ Charlotte ♥ That would be a brilliant episode of Hoarders XD I'd most defiantly watch it! And I'm sure there would be a couple fellow goodread friends who would feature on that episode of the show along side you! XD
