How Many Books Have You Read this Year?

Storyteller5 · Oct 25, 2010

Does anyone else keep a list of the books they read?
How many have you read this year (not including your own or books read to your kids)?

Chris P · Oct 25, 2010

*blushes* Maybe 5.

AuburnAssassin · Oct 25, 2010

I'm halfway through my 56th, not counting beta reads. That's a good number for me.

Storyteller5 · Oct 25, 2010

I'm at 36 finished and I'm reading a pair together now. One I've got less than 100 pages to go and the other I've got about 200 pages to go. I'd like to finish both this month!

Sage · Oct 25, 2010

88 so far. This includes a few beta reads, several audiobooks, and 9 graphic novels.

Kitty Pryde · Oct 25, 2010

I haven't kept track, but probably close to 200. Mostly YA and MG novels, though, most of which are shorter than adult novels.

MaryMumsy · Oct 25, 2010

I'm woefully behind on my list, but I have all the library slips. I think I must be around 200. When I'm in the groove I'll do a book or more per day. And that doesn't count any beta reading.

I aim to read 100 in a year, but the World Cup cost me about fifteen.

CaroGirl · Oct 26, 2010

Probably about 30 so far. I used to keep a spreadsheet with a list of the books I'd read but I haven't been doing that this year.

RaineeRose · Oct 26, 2010

I've read 74 so far. I'm not sure if I'll make it to my goal this year or not. Kids do that to you. LOL

Alpha Echo · Oct 26, 2010

I haven't counted, but I read 1 book at least every week, usually 1 book every couple days. So...whatever that adds up to be.

scarletpeaches · Oct 26, 2010

145 so far.

The last book I finished was The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It took me ages to get through and I still don't know why I bothered.

Satori1977 · Oct 26, 2010

About 40-50. And about a third of those have been 700-800 page monsters.

If we counted books read to my kids...hundreds.

Grrarrgh · Oct 26, 2010

Around 130. I keep a list, but I don't have it with me.

I hear you on that!

Rebekkamaria · Oct 26, 2010

So far, only twenty. Next year I'll aim for 50. But I'm really not a fast reader. I can read seven books in a month if I'm not working and studying at the same time. And that's the best I can do at the moment.

Flint · Oct 26, 2010

I believe I should be pretty close to 200.

Izz · Oct 26, 2010

I've finished between 10-15. Started probably close to 100. I'm far too picky.

Kate Thornton · Oct 26, 2010

I got my Kindle about 2 weeks ago and have read 12 books so far on it - I never kept count before.

Shadow_Ferret · Oct 26, 2010

This was my best year ever in recent memory. Maybe 9.

Jax3683 · Oct 27, 2010

I'm on #57 right now. I'd like to get to 75, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.

I don't count audio books in there, I have listened to 5 of those, mostly on long drives.

Parametric · Oct 28, 2010

67 and counting, including 4 thrillers, 4 YA dystopians, 5 MGs, 8 epic fantasies and other secondary-world fantasies, 9 UFs, 10 SFs, and, er, 18 YA UFs. :tongue

I have a spreadsheet.

Sai · Oct 28, 2010

Around twenty, give or take a few books.

Jess Haines · Oct 28, 2010

Somewhere in the range of thirty to forty. Don't keep close track.
