I've started off pretty good this year though, and I really do want to read a lot more than I did last year. I'm going to MAKE time, darn it! It will be easy in 10 days when your book comes out!

I read 107 in 2011 (only counting from March onwards), so it should be achievable... but then again, I don't need to be writing my next amazing novel :D<br /><br />eReaders! Yes! I've actually found I read quicker with ebooks, too! I think it's because I read on my phone, and I take my phone EVERYWHERE. It means more opportunities for reading (like, walking downstairs from lunch, walking to the kitchen, a few extra pages at night before I close my eyes). But like you said: it kind of makes books more accessible. Reading eBooks has allowed me to get my hands on books I never would have been able to otherwise!Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-91483060684035416172012-01-02T18:36:05.508-05:002012-01-02T18:36:05.508-05:00I read 29 books this year (not counting manuscript...I read 29 books this year (not counting manuscripts for writer friends) which was better than I thought.

I went for 50 the first time I set a resolution, and last year I went for 65. I barely snuck the last one in under the wire, so I'm keeping the same level, but I'm raring to go on this particular resolution.Kelsey (Dominique) Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10646757546422013401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-33805613972485879272012-01-02T17:33:35.886-05:002012-01-02T17:33:35.886-05:00I put my reading challenge on Goodreads at 50 beca...I put my reading challenge on Goodreads at 50 because I'm going to focus really hard on getting my manuscripts done and out this year, and some other big goals as well. Last year I challenged myself to 100 and hit 74.<br /><br />I think it's great the debut/sophomore author list, but I'm a little sad to see it's YA only, not adult. I wonder if anyone does adult?M.

So I'm not making any *official* reading goals (I'm stressed enough by all my writing goals which are less goals and more DEADLINES, *meep*) BUT, I did at least create a new shelf where I can track all the books I read this year. And I'm really hoping I'll have at least 30 on there by the end of 2012. We'll see how it goes!<br /><br />Thanks for the links!Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-8142457307481987842012-01-02T16:28:21.323-05:002012-01-02T16:28:21.323-05:00I know what you mean about e-reading being faster....I know what you mean about e-reading being faster.
