Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I have another 3 lined up to read next, I'm doing better than I expected

I get later posting this each month.
September Reads: 13 from 'our authors' and 17 'others'
Bringing my total by 'our authors' to 156.
total by 'others' 90
Grand total = 246 this year!

Do you do anything else that isn't reading Sarah?

Sarah is way in front of me .

I've updated today - my total is 106 books by 64 of our authors and 220 all together. (this is only counting books that I have read for the first time - any that I have read before haven't been included)

Jud,I work,craft,bake,garden and clean a house with 10 rooms! I don't sleep well so I read when most folk sleep:@)

Sarah, are you superwoman?

I Wish! I would look a braw chookie with my knickers outside my leggings! The very thought has me reaching for a sick bowl.
I read an average of 5hrs a night! I don't tend to read so much during the day unless I find I am reading a book I can't put down then I have been known to read for 12hrs solid eg.Sirrenvaag!

I wish I didn't need so much sleep so I could stay up later reading. (I'm not wishing insomnia on myself or any other sleeping related issues, just that I didn't need so much...)

Up to 58 now (I think) but some are shorts

Too busy reading to even update my challenge!I think I need therapy!
During October I read 25 books by 'our authors' and 9 others.
Totals now stand at 181 by'ours',99 'others'
GRAND TOTAL = 280.

I haz not done any reading lately. Work and lack of sleep is screwing my eyes big time at the moment. Me = not a happy bunny

Poor Lorraine :o(

Thanks Jud... I'm sure things will calm down... Next thing you know I'll be complaining there's no work coming through lol... I is eternally un satisfied lol !

Soon it'll be Christmas and then everything will look brighter :o)

:)

Have a huge big hug Lorraine!I hope things quieten down for you soon or at least you get enough sleep to keep you going.Take care xxx.

November totals: 14 by our authors and 15 others, though many of these are Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ authors they are not members of this forum.
Totals are 195 by our authors and 114 others.
Grand total read so far this year= 309!

That's a well tidy number.
One a day with a Sunday off, just about :)

You can find all our authors and links to their books in the Authors Threads Adam.In earlier posts in this thread you will find Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Links to the books Lorraine and I have read.In Janet's challenge thread you will find more.

Pfff I've completely lost track of the thread ! A belated thank you Sarah ! I am SO catching up during the Xmas break !

Shall be doing that again next year (and hopefully not leave it half way through the year)... Adam if you want to join in, you're most welcome :)

Sarah, 309 books is like one book a day !

Adam wrote: "What a lovely idea, I hadn't seen this thread before. Is there a list of these authors somewhere in this thread? "

there is a thread on here where authors have posted their links - that may help you with identifying some of our authors....

here is a linkie

I gave up updating when I finished the challenge (lazy me !) but I'm about to set up one for next year :)

December books read:
16 by 'our authors' making total for year of 211
18 by 'others' though many of these are Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ authors. Total for year 132.
Grand total number of books read in 2012 is...343!

I will read The Broons Annual tomorrow as I do every Hogmany.As a wee girl I remember my father reading it to me,as I grew I waited my turn every week to read the comic strip in the'Sunday Post' and I used to read one page of the annual every day following Christmas to make it last longer. Fond memories indeed!
HAPPY HOGMANY for tomorrow folks!

I had 70 exactly :o)

I would increase it for this year but I think by the time I have read my 60 odd Agatha Christie's and re-read LOTR, plus I want to read the True Blood series. I don't think I'll have much time to read more than 70 of our authors. I'll still keep track though.

:) Do update us on how you get on Jud :)

I managed 67 of "our" authors last year (not counting those who were in Salmagundi that I didn't read a separate book of theirs. Bad English but I know what I mean) Some of the 67 were rare visitors though. I doubt if I will try counting again this year.

I'm afraid I never count any more. Some of course, because I proofread them, I will have read 2 or 3 times but they still count as one book. It makes counting a bit pointless. I read more books than my numbers suggest - but sometimes they're the same ones!

I'm glad I don't proofread - it annoys me enough with the typos that still sneak through into the ones that I am reading. I suppose it isn't really as bad as that - there have only been a couple that I have had to give up before the kindle went through the window ;)

i am reading the true blood books atm - well the first 3 which is all i got!

I'd like to do that as a challenge next year, some of my best reads last year were our authors
