Zara, I didn't realize there was more than one option :) Trying for 55, and will probably rethink after January.

I'm really sorry about that oversight Stephanie. Consider yourself added. How many do you want to be put down for?

all 12 months so 55 books

Stephanie, I've updated your goal.

I'm going to sign up for 6 months. I'll do every other month so that I'll have one structured reading month followed by a month where I can pick and choose a little bit easier. So I'll do: January, March, May, July, September, November, which is a total of 25 books.

Erika wrote: "I'm going to sign up for 6 months. I'll do every other month so that I'll have one structured reading month followed by a month where I can pick and choose a little bit easier. So I'll do: January,..."

Erika I've added you. Welcome and good luck.

I'm with the last good read reader, 6 months sounds reasonable for me and will let me know if it works. Is this ok? Also, it has to be a brand new read, no favorite re-reads to fulfill requirement? I don't plan to, but sometimes if you can't find one and already covered it, is this unacceptable? Someone might need this clarified. Lis

Lisa wrote: "I'm with the last good read reader, 6 months sounds reasonable for me and will let me know if it works. Is this ok? Also, it has to be a brand new read, no favorite re-reads to fulfill requireme..."

Lisa I have no problem with re-reads as long as you have re-read them from cover to cover and not just read a few pages.

How many would you like to be put down for?

I'm in for all twelve!

I am definitely in for this one, all twelve months!

Since my goal is 34 books this year and I not sure all my choices will fit with the letters lets say for this challenge is 20 books.

In January, I should be off to a good start with 3 books:
GonE Girl
LoNe Survivor
FiRst Call from Heaven

Already changing one of my books - instead of First Call from Heaven - reading And the Mountains EchOed

Hi Terrie and Cynthia I have added you both. Welcome and good luck.

I'm going to try for three a month... So 36. I like this challenge a lot!

Gnomy I have added you. Welcome and good luck.

I have to try to whole thing
