Nice!

That's more than 1 book for each day - fantastic achievement!

Thank you.

How many books have you gone past 50? Post your totals for March!

I will be posting my totals at the end of the readathon. I am finishing books that I have been reading for a while. My goal is to start April with all non goodreads group read books finished.


My grand total is 40 (over 50).

End of March- (50+) 40

End of April- (50+) 72

(End of March was 40 books total for year)
April - 24 books read, total to date 64

Excellent work, Ladies!

End of June - 127 over 50

Wow! Do you think you'll reach 200 by December?

I have a goal of 180 so I should reach 200. I know that since joining goodreads I am reading more because I am learning about more books.
We have just come back from holiday and part of that holiday was a train journey across Canada. The two trains we took spent a lot of time sitting on sidings waiting for a freight train to go by, so I got a lot of reading done then, not to mention long hours spent at airports.
I am so glad that I have Ibooks on my Ipad mini! With lots of free books!

Lots of waiting but a train ride across Canada sounds divine.

That does sound nice, Rose!

If you get a chance to take the train, do it. We were on the train called The Canadian from Toronto to Jasper, Alberta. From Jasper, there was a choice of trains so we went north. There were people from all over the world on the train, even New Zealand and Australia. And the food was good.
The sleeping cabin was very cozy(in other words, small).
Today is actually Canada Day, but we celebrated early by taking this trip.

I set up a mini-challenge for Canada Day this year. :D

Thanks, I noticed that. I am going to read a book by Gabrielle Roy. It is about her childhood in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba and I had a chance to visit her childhood home four years ago. It is now a museum dedicated to her.

Total of books read so far: 82 books

I've read 244 from the start of this year. I'm a little behind, but I'm hoping to get caught up in the next week or so.

That is fantastic, John. Are there any books that you would read again some time?

Congrats John! That's an amazing accomplishment so far and an impressive goal.

I reread books all the time. However, I've bought a ton of books last year, so I haven't reread very many recently.

At the moment, I'm reading lots of science fiction. Once I've cleared the current pile, I'm diving back into history.

I know what you mean, John. I bought a ton of used books last year--and in previous years.

In June I read 15 books, bringing my current total number of books for the year to 94. (Sorry, forgot to post this sooner.)

You are doing well, Trish.

Thank you, Rosemarie - I'm enjoying the challenge but won't ever be able to catch up with you!

I did a quiz to find out what kind of reader I am. It was a tie between dedicated reader and obsessive-compulsive reader.
One of the reasons I read so much is that I am a night owl who doesn't watch TV. Plus, I keep looking at my bookshelves and at all the books that I haven't read yet!

I crossed over the 50 book mark in June, so I'm joining you overachievers. I definitely won't be catching up though!
