Here’s my placeholder for 2016 books read. My goals for this year are to read more from my TBR piles in my apartment - I need those stacks to go down. As much as I love the number of library books I read in 2015, I have plenty of books right in my apartment that need to be read! Also, I’d like to get through more nonfiction. That means I have to ( Read more... )

I have plenty of long book lists that I keep track of here on LJ, never making much progress on reading through them. But here is perhaps my favorite new one I’ve come across - a listing of all 339 Books Referenced In the Gilmore Girls. Hell yeah ( Read more... )

Well, I didn’t complete *any* of the reading challenges I intended to complete this year. That’s new. Usually I don’t finish all of them, but I at least manage to finish most of them. I didn’t even make significant progress in my multi-year Around the World in 80 Books reading challenge ( Read more... )

My real goal for this year is to make my TBR piles of books visibly decrease this year. This last year I read a lot of ebooks and library books, which was great -- but I have close to 200 unread books sitting in my apartment and I need to read them and loan them out so they can be gone from here. Then I can get back to reading new books next year ( Read more... )

I FINALLY finished my first book of the year, so I can make my 2011 reading log post. Generally I'm done with about 3-4 by this point. I hope it speeds up!

I’m going to go ahead and call my 2010 reading complete because I have no hope to complete the books that I’m in the middle of before the end of the year. So here’s the complete 2010 reading list ( Read more... )

I don’t think I’m going to finish any of the four books I’m in the middle of before midnight. So we’ll just call the 2009 reading list complete. I finally met the 50bookchallenge again! It’s been a few years for that. Hopefully I can keep up the pace next year!

As always, my favorites bolded below!

Well I didn’t quite get to 50 this year, so that’s a little disappointing. I did come close. We’ll have to see if I can fix that next year.
