  1. It's amazing that a new reading year is coming up already! I've read well over 100 books in the past year and am so thankful for this link-up and your weekly posts. Next year I hope to concentrate on history of science books, a whole new venture.

  2. Looking forward to next year, but is it ok if I just pretend that next year is a long way off?

  5. I read more last year than I have read in a long, long time, but did not keep records nor do well on my various reading challenges. I think I've got a better handle on things for 2014, so I'm going to enter again. :O)

  6. I have no idea how much I read in 2013, so I am returning to my 52 week challenge. Mostly, I read a lot of genre fiction. There is also a significant amount of knitting talk.

  7. I didn't read nearly enough last year. I hope that by going public on my blog. I will finish 52 books by the end of 2014! I am starting a few days early to allow for grace and get a head start.

  8. I've been participating in this challenge since 2010 and have yet to read 52 books. I did exceed my personal goal in 2013, though. So glad to be participating again this year. Now to get my book list started! Happy reading all.

  14. I'm excited to join this year! I think I usually read 52 books or more a year, but only in fits and bursts. Here's to a year of structured reading! :)

  16. Starting the new year with "Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin and "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell. Then moving to "48 laws of power" by robert greene. Happy reading my friends. May 2014 bring you all plentiful bounties of new wisdom and insight about yourselves and the world around you. Cheers!

  17. I saw a link on LifeHacker to your blog today. I'm not one for making New Year's Resolutions and my experience with blogging challenges would suggest that I might not stick with this one for an entire year. BUT, I just counted how many books I read this year and, counting a few that I abandoned in the last few weeks (because anything that I that "forget it" to earlier in the year I've certainly forgotten about) I've read 53 books this year. An incomplete list is on my blog. Perhaps if I stick with this I'll keep that list up-to-date as well. Looking forward to another year of reading -- and to pop in here and see what others have read/reviewed. Thanks for hosting this challenge. -- Anne-Camille

  18. I've never done one of these challenges before. Being a student, I have a heavey required reading load. But this seems like an appropriate use of my time.

    1. If you have time to do pleasure reading amidst your studies, that is great. I inadvertently deleted your sign up link so if you could relink that would be great. What are you studying?

  23. I just discovered this and am excited about the challenge! I'm a new mom, as well as a teacher, so I'm really hoping I can keep up with the weekly reading. I've been picking up more on reading lately and think this might be a good way to keep me going. Any helpful tips for staying on track??

    1. Congratulations on the new baby! Basically read what you want to read and don't feel intimidated. Pick some books out of your shelves and make a reading plan. The goal is 52, but some folks set their own goals because they just don't have the time to read as much. You don't have to read one book per week. We all read short and long books, so most of the time it all averages out in the end.

    2. Okay, great. I'm looking forward to the challenge!

  24. Being a compulsive book buyer and a lover of book shops, it was about time I committed to actually reading enough books too ! Really looking forward to this.

  25. Happy New Years everyone. I am very excited to start this reading challenge. I hand picked 57 books that I would like to read. I know the post says 52, well, I gave myself a bit more variety just in case I will dread reading a book. I am happy to share my collections with you guys :)

  26. Please count me in. I'm super excited to be part of this challenge.

  27. I'm definitely looking forward to participating! I have about 20 books laying around that I bought in the past couple of years, but never got around to reading. Hopefully, I can curb back on the book buying this year and focus on these instead -- starting right after I buy the Caster Chronicles paperback collection :)

    1. Great! Only 20 - you are a lot more disciplined than I am. Caster Chronicles - haven't read them yet, but look good. My stacks are teetering. :)

  30. This seems really cool, and I would like to attempt this challenge, as I have all but stopped reading books, preferring to watch YouTube.

    1. Yes, youtube can be addicting and I discovered reading on the computer is more like browsing. Had to train myself to slow down when reading Ebooks. But nothing takes the place of a real book. Hope you find some great reads and look forward to hearing all about them. Happy reading!

  31. I'm participating again! I've tried this for three years or so now, but I keep getting closer! Here's to 2014!

  32. This is my first year participating! Last year I challenged myself to read nothing but non-fiction, but with no minimal requirements. This should be fun and quite a challenge.

  33. I am excited to join the challenge. I have identified my 52 books but I won't necessarily read them in the order I have them listed.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am participating. I'm really looking forward to attempting to read this much.

  35. This will be my first attempt to read 52 in 52. I'm already doing the 52 Week Savings Challenge, so I might as well go for it!
    Thank you!

  36. I only read ten books last year. Awful. I participated in this challenge a few years ago and loved all the reading I got to do. I'm hoping that participating again will force me to read more.
