I managed to reach 50 last year, but I tell you, I did find it hard at times. I think I’m gonna settle for 40 this year so it doesn’t start to feel like a chore.

I’m always looking for reading suggestions though so don’t be surprised if you find me popping in on this thread from time to time…

If you’re looking for reading suggestions, here’s a list of my 50 books from last year, all graded with 1-5 stars: http://depressedguyswithguitars.tumblr.com/Books

I did the 50 book challenge last year, and I think I am just going to try that again. I think I ended up with 55, but I’m not sure because I lost count when yourpants was hacked.There was also a thread in the old pants that had people counting the amount of pages they read in a year. I got 18 thousand last year, so I’m going to shoot for 20 thousand this year.

I’m not really setting a number, but I do have this little list I keep of books I want to read this year, by author/trilogy/genre. So for instance, I want to read 5 Terry Pratchett books, 5 original works from philosophers and the LotR-trilogie. I think the list is over 50 books long, so I guess I’m sort of doing that challenge :-p All I really know for sure is that I don’t want to have another year like last year, in which I read about 10-not-school-related books or something. I miss laying in bed and reading.

I’m doing it this year! I failed miserably last year with just 35.

Here’s a link to tumblr where i’ll be reviewing and keeping track of the books i’ve read:

Yes, the pun is intentional. :p
I need some cool blogs to follow, so follow me and i’ll check yours out!

I’ve never tried to do a book challenge, but my friends are really into new year’s resolutions, so I think I’ll just use this! I’ll read 50 books in 2012! Starting with TFiOS on the 10th! : P

I dont set myself a challenge, but i read fast and read about 100 books last year, but i might set myself a challenge of 110 or something :/

I want to do this, but that means I have to read 50 books before june because that’s when I leave for basic training. This will be interesting!

Last year I tried reading 20 books, then changed it to 25, and then got to 31. And I don’t feel as if I’ve been reading much at all. This year I’m going for 50, which I hope will be more of a challenge. One book down so far.

I tried reading 200 last year (2011), but didn’t read that many in November (2) and December (4), so in the end I reached 142, 58 of which in English and the rest in Dutch.

There are a few I read half of, and am still going to finish reading, but I count the books in the year/month that I finish them.

I think I’m going to try to read 150 this year, with at least half in English.

What can I say. I just read VERY quickly.

Anyone doing the challenge can keep track of pages read with https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnQvU70oWu6HdHhSZGN3RlJURk9rSUw4RXE0WkwxOGc

I tried last year but I think I only got to about 25… I think I might do it again this year, though. Why not?

: O How even is that possible?! You must be an AWESOME reader! Are there even that many books to read? You are amasing!

This sounds like a great idea so I’ll join in too with 50 books!

I’m trying to read a 100 this year both fiction and non fiction.

I’ve read 3 so far, nearly finished Looking For Alaska I was reading it in the car and I got to that part in the book and I started crying. So i’m hoping to finish that by tomorrow.

I’ve also started on TFIOS, The Bell Jar (which i’ve read before but its one of my favourite books) and The Goblet of Fire.
If anyone has any book reccommendations I’d love to hear them

Well, you see, I started a 50 Books in 365 Days challenge last year, but I only started it in March, so it’ll only end in March this year. Then I’ll re-start it again in March this year and end it in March 2013 and so on so forth! But yeah, I’m definitely doing a 50 Books in 365 Days challenge again this year. Last year, the challenge has sparked me on to read so many great books, and I just love how the number of books I’m reading has increased. I also have a blog for it, if you want to have a look-see (http://nearthebooks.tumblr.com/), but it’s just a big mish-mash of stuff, really

Only 50? I hit (around) 140 last year.

Hmm. Maybe my goal for 2012 will be to hit 150.

Good luck, everyone. Congrats on having more busy lives than me.

I like the idea of this but not sure how far I will get but I am now going to start keeping track. I’m on 2 so far this year and I am halfway through Study in Scarlett (Sherlock Holmes). The idea is a book a week with two weeks off. I’m already behind schedule but I will try.

I finally managed to set up a page on my Tumblr to list all of the books I read. So far I’ve read four, which means I’m on track. Huzzah! http://wecouldbeperfectonelastnight.tumblr.com/2012books

50 book challenge accepted! I have read 6 so far

I did it last year and I’m doing it again this year… is anyone here on Goodreads? That’s what I use to review / keep track. It’s got a handy little thing on the side that tells me how many books I’m at and what percentage of the way to my target I am. Right now I have read 13/50 and am 26% of the way there…and apparently “7 books (14%) ahead of schedule”

(I’m http://www.goodreads.com/wanderlust — it’d be great to have some nerdfighter book friends!)

Reading book 4 (I think).

I wish I’d found this earlier cos’ it’s gonna be hard!

I’m going to try and do this this year. So far I’ve finished five books.

I use goodreads. I’m going to try for 100. I will fail horribly, but it’s still fun to aim for something so high. I’ve read six.

Hm, I’m on…at least 5. Maybe 6. I’m trying my hand at sci-fi, starting with The Master, Isaac Asimov himself, so it may be a while before I finish.
