I've been keeping track for this challenge since mid-January and finally able to come on and post. January I had 13 books written down. February I have 29 and have already read 12 books for March. I think I'm going to by-pass 75 by at least 4 times this year if I keep reading like I have been.

Woo! Way to go!

Now, you need a ticker....

Not sure I really want to visibly see how many books I read with a ticker. It's kind of scary to see exactly how much I do read as it is.

OK finally getting on to stat that I've read 21 books for March. I'm already at 63 and only a quarter of the way through the year. Things were a little slow on the reading front because I was stuck taking buses to work for a couple of weeks and between lighting and watching for my stop it wasn't good reading times.

I read another 23 books for April. If I keep this up I should hit almost 250 by the end of the year.

I don't have the time to read that many books, but if you do, Pam, go for it. :)

I have an hour lunch and because I have to arrive usually an hour before work so hubby can have the car that is my reading time. It's nice having the two hours four days a week to spend on reading.

I hit 22 books for May bringing my total up to 108. Amazing what a couple hours a day four days a week can do for a person.

23 books for June so I'm up to 131. It will be interesting to see how many times I will be able to hit 75.

19 books for July. This makes it so I've hit 75 twice this year as my total is 150. Don't get as much reading time in July since it includes my anniversary and birthday plus we love hunting down all the small fireworks shows around here.

24 books for August. Get to start September with 4 days off work and no plans. Might be able to get my numbers up higher for next month.

Another slow month thanks to work. I love working retail during this time of year. Read 16 books this month that makes 209 for the year.

Only 14 books for November. This puts me at 223. I'm thinking I won't make it to 250 but it actually might be that high since I didn't start counting until mid January. I will be counting from day one next year so I truly know how many. I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving.

I had 13 books for December. I end the year with a total of 236. Doesn't seem like I could possible read that much but I guess I do.
