210 in 2010

Neighbours_Fan · 31/12/09 - 20:26

I'm just following on from the '209 in 2009' thread. I hope the OP of that thread doesn't mind.

I read 46 books this year. I don't think I'll make it to 210, but I would like to read at least 60 next year.

syramu · 01/01/10 - 04:31

I only finished 24 in 2009, and I can definitely do better than that in 2010. I'll still try to reach the goal of 210, although it's probably too high for me.

[Deleted User] · 01/01/10 - 14:45

I think I might try this. I read about 70 in 2009 so will have to do a lot more, lol.

Elanor · 01/01/10 - 15:17

I read 64 in 2009. My target is 70 for this year.

[Deleted User] · 01/01/10 - 16:56

82 last year, which is about 30 better than the year before

First two reads of this year have been Richard Bausch's Peace, which is a slight but terrific account of a WWII small battle in the hills of Italy, and Ruth Rendell's Not in the Flesh, which is a bog standard, if slightly showing the age, Wexford whodunnit.

Count me in

[Deleted User] · 03/01/10 - 01:33

Yep, count me in too!
Are we going to list what we read as we read them? Am on Elizabeth George - With No-one as Witness at the moment. My first of 2010!

[Deleted User] · 03/01/10 - 11:05

I'm already on the case.
I am very determined to complete the challenge this year.
I mean what else am I gonna do living opposite the library

Yeah:)

[Deleted User] · 03/01/10 - 12:16

Excellent. I shall have to remember to pop back each time I start a new one.
So

1) Elizabeth George - With No-one as Witness.

OxfordGirl · 03/01/10 - 12:35

Ihavenever counted the books I have read before but average 2-3 a week so 210 is a great target

1) Katharine McMahon - Footsteps

GiraffeGirl · 03/01/10 - 14:12

I doubt I'll manage 210 but it would be interesting to see how many I do read a year.

1. Before I die - Jenny Downham

(Just a quick question - does it count if you've read them before?)

[Deleted User] · 03/01/10 - 19:41

Finished my first of the year

1. Inkheart

The OP of the '209' thread said ''The only rule was that if you wanted to include a book you've already read, you must read it again and not cheat!''

That's okay then

[Deleted User] · 03/01/10 - 22:20

Started book 1. Moonraker - Ian Fleming

gemchicken · 03/01/10 - 23:06

I don't think I'll manage 210 in 2010, as that is, what...1.7 days a book?! I don't think I will but I'll give it a good go!

My aim will be to read 100!

I got loads of books for Christmas, I'm afraid they're not 'intelligent' books (haha!) but they're still books! Plus I'm doing a really stressful degree so a bit of light reading is definately needed!

So far, I've read one and have just started a second one today, the first of the Twilight books and I cannot put it down, only am giving myself a headache!

So far...

1. Ex-Girlfriends United - Matt Dunn

Can we put this in out signatures? Does anyone know how?!

Cool thread, was meant to try last year but by the time I was ready to make a post it was about the middle of February!

Happy Reading Everyone!

Revenga · 04/01/10 - 02:07

I got to 75 last year, so I'm hoping for 100 in 2010.

Currently on Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, though it's so long I think it should count as 2

[Deleted User] · 04/01/10 - 07:49

I didnt count how many I read last year - so I will not set myself a goal, just read as normal because I will find it interesting how many I DO actually get through in a year!

I may get through a few more by keeping up with this thread and maybe trying some that others are reading which I wouldnt perhaps normally read.

Revenga - there are a few books I have on my list for this year that I also think should count as 2

[Deleted User] · 04/01/10 - 16:54

again, not mathematically possible for me. With just 52 Weeks in the year that means 4 books a week, so two days per book basically.... For me to read a book in two days, it means dedicating a lot of hours, hours I don't have ! However I will make a list as I go for fun...

hayleyg · 04/01/10 - 19:54

I'm up for a challenge so count me in!

[Deleted User] · 05/01/10 - 00:02

Nearly at the end of my book 1. Not sure what to go for next, I have a Stuart Mcbride, a Val Mcdermid and another Elizabeth George waiting on the shelf. Along with many others......I hate coming to the end of one when I have no idea what I am moving onto.....

trinity2002 · 05/01/10 - 13:44

I'll do it again, but I only got to 67 last year.

Neighbours_Fan · 05/01/10 - 15:01

1 - LA Candy by Lauren Conrad

OxfordGirl · 05/01/10 - 19:13

1) Katharine McMahon - Footsteps
2) Julian Fellowes - Snobs

don't think I have any hope of 210 but will give it a good go!
