I was recently on a site with a challenge to readers to read a certain number of books in a year. I debated joining, but decided against it, because I didn't appreciate the non Christian content. Then I thought- why not do one of my own?
So this is my challenge for 2010 for myself and for you readers out there! How many books can you read in a year- how many do you think you can read?
Starting January 1st and running through December 31st of 2010 I challenge you to read as many books as possible. Every Friday of the new year I will post on my progress and this will be your chance to leave a comment documenting your progress.
The Rules: (it's simple I promise)
~Only CHRISTIAN books count
~Only books started on January 1st count
~This is not a genre specific contest, read whatever genre you love!
~Every Friday on my blog, post how you are doing and I'll keep a running tally on a side bar
~Tell others on your blog about this- let's get the challenge out for others to know about! You might even win a book here that you can read for this challenge! :)
Think you can read a book every week- that's 52 books in year. Think you can do more than that? I'm shooting for 100 books- think I can make it? 2010 Reading Challenge here we come!
Post a comment with a number of books you think you can read in a year, I will keep a running tally on the side bar to keep you all up to date on our progress!

So glad you ladies are joining in. I'll start the tally!
ReplyDeleteI had a goal of 52 books a year some weeks will read more some less.
ReplyDeleteI think I will go for 66 which is 6 books a month which I feel comfortable with.
I am going away today but will try and post this when I get back. do you have a logo for this we can add to our blogs to link to you? I would like to offer this to my readers.
I'm trying to make one now. I hope to have something up before the weekend at the least. Thanks for joining!
ReplyDeleteI want to take the challenge. In a year? Well, I can't read as fast as a lot of the reviewers do, but I'm going to set my goal at 50!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading about 40 - 45 books a year for the past few years but have been wanting to increase that. I love this challenge and am going to aim for 60 books a year.

So glad you are joining. It's going to be a great challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love to read but something always seems to call my attention away. This will be a great way to keep with it and stay focused. I am going to try for 52 even though that is a big stretch for me. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Not sure for how many yet. I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching for a button/logo so I can post about it on my blog.
I'm in. I need to step up my reading. I'll go for 75. Hope I can remember to come back and add it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all are joining. I'm keeping the tally up to date!

ReplyDeleteHi Casey,
ReplyDeleteIm adding the logo today and will post your post. I hope some of my readers come over.
I will try to work a way to keep it up so people can see how its going.
can you change my total to 72 I cant count 6X12 is 72 not 66.
ReplyDeleteLast year I read 61 books, not counting the manuscripts I read for endorsements. So I'm going to make 61 my goal for 2010.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my list on Shelfari, I read 158 books in 2009. So I'm going to aim for 160 in 2010!
ReplyDeleteI will pledge to read 24 books for 2010.
ReplyDeleteI will pledge to read 72 books for the year.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how you're keeping the tally on the books. Should I let you know somehow what I've read?
ReplyDeleteI will blog every Friday with my list of books and you can leave a comment that day or weekend on that post on how many you have read. I will then add it to the total. (see side bar)
ReplyDeleteCount me in.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is 70 Christian Books in 2010.
Thanks.
Annette

Super, super, super! Thanks everyone for continueing to come by!
ReplyDeleteI think I read alot. I haven't kept track of how many books i read a year. I mostly read Christian books but occassionally read other historical fiction. Right now I am reading The Hope by Herman Wouk but plan to read more Christian books soon. I am always on the hunt for Christian novels and mostly read either Karen Kingsbury or other historical fiction such as Bodie Thoene or Tricia Goyer. Now that i have found you I will be reading Sons of Thunder as soon as i order it. my goal is 52 books for 2010. I live in Vancouver, BC so this will be like a reading Olympics ;)
