Welcome, Paula! Don't worry about your English, friend. We're all well versed in the language of book love. :) I'll bet you hit 104 easily with that bus ride you have everyday. Good luck!

Chuckie! So glad you're here, favorite cousin o' mine! You're on fire already this year. (I *might* have been stalking the romance novels on your reading list.) I love that you sneak read at work, you rebel.

I take advantage of the free books that I can download on my Nook. I usually read 3 free ones and then one that I have purchased. Happy Reading!!!!

Tabatha | 9 comments Hi everyone! I'm Tabatha and I live in Toronto, Canada. I started recording some of my reads on goodreads last year, but this year I'm looking to expand my reading and interactions with others who share a love for books.
My personal goal is to be more selective in what I inhale, hoping this will inspire more thought provoking reads. When I find those that truly moved me I look forward to discussing!

Sara (sarariches) | 1 comments Hi, I'm a little late joining but should manage to get somewhere near the challenge hopefully!
I will list the books I read in January shortly but for now have just read
Ammonites and Leaping Fish Penelope Livelu
The Luminaries. Eleanor Catton. (A bit of a slog this one)

Valyarn | 3 comments Hello everyone!
I'm a bit late in this group but when I found it I really wanted to join! I'm Valyarn, live in Finland and I love books and reading :) I re-discovered Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ this year when I wanted to keep a list of books I've read.

My reading this year started off a bit slow because I was on strong pain medication after a car accident. I had difficulties concentrating and was not interested in reading. But now I'm back on track and I will try to remember to list every book I read on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. My favourites are historical books and mystery/crime, especially Scandinavian.

My other hobbies include my dogs (3) and knitting (perhaps You guessed that from my name..) so I'm also reading some dog training, behaviour etc books and some knitting books. And I like to see what others have on their read list, so I can discover lots of interesting books!

Hello! I joined late, too, my first year with the group, but it looks like you're right on schedule. Glad you're doing better after your accident ~ I don't know what I would do if I was recupaerating from something and unable to read. :( I'm looking forward to exploring your list as well as there are so many good books that haven't quite made it to U.S. publishers.

Allie M. (scadgirl007) Hello,
I'm Allie from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I work part-time at a local Walmart. In my spare time, I cook, craft, and read. My husband and I like to spend time with family and friends on the weekend, playing tabletop games and watching movies.

I'm a slow reader but devote at least an hour to reading everyday. I average about 2-4 books a month. The idea of this challenge is really interesting. With June approaching, considering doing 52 books in 26 weeks.

I like to read fantasy and science fiction novels, especially if they are part of a series. I am currently making my way through The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.
