When it comes to counting manga, I'll usually list up to three volumes because I get through them so quickly. Or if I'm reading by chapter, the number of chapters that would constitute three volumes.

I managed to hit 75 books last year. Sadly, I think this year I'll be lucky to get to 35. =/

Kat -
That actually sounds kind of interesting! Especially with the Monty Python-esque humor! Let me know what you thought once you've read it and I might check it out after I get through the list of other stuff I need to read this year!


----

If it wasn't for this event I think that I'd be getting a lot more reading done this weekend. But, as it is, I need to make sure I get some of the EIs~

Umm... Can this challenge even apply to me? In the past three months I read sixty books.

Of course it can apply to you!
Just set a super high goal for yourself if you're moving at such a rapid pace! :D

Hmm... There's always the library? Or digital books?

And I've noticed that sometimes Mene glitches like that when you quick reply.
It's happened to me on more than one occasion.

I just don't have the time to sit down and read that much, sadly.

And I can't say I've heard of it. What is it?

It's a charity thing for multiple sclerosis research. Unfortunately they block anyone over the age of 13 from doing it.

Aww. You'd think that they wouldn't block anyone since it's for charity

Yeah, there's plenty teens and adults that need some encouragement to read as well as kids especially if it's for a good cause.

Goodreads is telling me that I am five books behind. :( I'm just doing so much reading for my classes that I don't have time to read for fun, haha. I do hope I have some time to get a chunk of Rebecca done next weekend, and I think I'm supposed to have Fellowship of the Ring done by Friday of this week, so that'll be another book down. *crosses fingers*

On the bright side, my mom bought me The Magicians and Mrs Quent for Easter! I kept seeing it at the used book store and thinking about buying it and never did. Yesterday we there there together and I pointed it out to her because my birthday is in a week and I was trying to give her some ideas. I don't know when she bought it, I was with her the whole time. She's a sneak. :ninja:

AUGH MURTAGH AND NASUADA! I shipped them forever and then he dangled it in front of me and then took that hope away and then it was canon and then it was ruined. ;a; I was so upset.

Except for that, I was pleased with the ending, haha. Even thought parts of it made me sad and I wished it could have been different, I was so glad that Paolini chose to spend a hundred pages wrapping everything up instead of pulling that BS where the big battle is finished and then there's a few pages of tying everything together and some shoddy half-assed epilogue that really doesn't cover everything you feel needs addressing. (Hunger Games, Harry Potter, love you both, but I am looking at you. And there's certainly been other books that have done that, those two just come to mind.)

I'd love for Paolini to write another book, though. More Murtagh and Nasuada would be great (as would more of any of the characters), but I'd really love a story about an urgal Rider. Especially if that urgal was a lady!

Me too, Iltu. I finished Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, though, so now I'm only 4 behind. I guess I need to stick with the light reading for now or else it just isn't gonna happen!

Once again I need a life. Last Friday I went to the neighboring town and got all these:
Stargate books by ~HikariHellion on deviantART
I don't think I need to explain that I like Stargate. :XD
