2010 Book Project

Hi Everyone

I've set a book challenge for myself this year. This is to read 100 books in 2010.
Last year, I read 74 books and I know that I can do better.

Would you like to take part in this challenge?

It'll be fun!

sure that'll be great.

So far I have read Thank God I'm natural and "Her perfect symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger. I'm currently reading "The Heretic's daughter" by Kathleen Kent.


Best places to buy books are second hand book shops and charity shops.


The review at the end of each month will be great.

This is a great challenge. 100 books is a lot but I'm willing to make an attempt. I have a question: Can this include audio books? I hope so.

So far this year, I have read:
The Green Life by Victoria Boutenko
Traveling Solo by Eleanor Berman
How come this idiots rich and I'm not (audiobook) by Robert Shemin.

Next book...Open Your Mind to Prosperity by Catherine Ponder

Really love this idea of a 100 book challenge - thanks! Since you live in London you might check out: The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt. Really an amazing read.

Open Your Mind to Prosperity wasn't my next book - LOL. I read Prayers of a Godly Woman by Brighton Books. I was given this book years ago. It's a positive book and a great little read on the bus.

Hi I would like to join this challenge! I used to read all the time!I need to get back with it! I just finished reading Michael Jacksons authorized autobiography cant remember the authors name right now but it was pretty good!

@ kinky I read dreams of my father, I thought it was a good read!

Hi...This is a wonderful challenge and like most on this thread I used read all the time....for hours...nothing was better than spending a weekend with a great book!...lol...I have just finished reading Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz....and I am ashamed to say it took me about 4 months! I was determined to finished it and after I was done I picked up another book of the Odd Thomas books....

I will try my best!

I'm reading A Mercy by Toni Morrison.

I'm in!

Right now I'm reading Bill Bryson's Neither Here Nore There. I love travel memoirs.

So far I think the only book I've read completely is Elizabeth Gilbert's Committed And I highy recommend it! (I'm bad about starting a book and not finishing it)

I will update on here, but I also think I will use my neverending book list on www.goodreads.com to keep track. I will add 2010 books to the 2010 bookshelf!

Oh and even better than second hand gift shops - the library! I go and put all of my books I'm looking for on hold on the website and they send them to my local branch. Then they email me when the book is there. AWESOME!

lol but they send you an email to let you know theyre due (twice!)! I just go online and renew them and keep them until the last minute lol

My list so far...

1. The Green Life by Victoria Boutenko
2. Traveling Solo by Eleanor Berman
3. How come this idiots rich and I'm not (audiobook) by Robert Shemin.
4. Prayers of a Godly Woman by Brighton Books.
5. Open Your Mind to Prosperity by Catherine Ponder
6. Time Alive by Alexandra Stoddard
7. Garden Anywhere by Alys Fowler
8. You grow girl by Gayla Trail


I am now reading Wired for Wealth. Next book is a Total Eclipse of the Heart by Zane.

I must admit this isn't looking so good - two months have gone by and I have only read 8 books. I should be up to about 16 books by now (must read about 8 books a month to get to goal of 100 books for the year). If I can't get to where I need to be by 3/31/10, I may bow out in defeat of this challenge and just challenge myself to maybe 50 books this year (which would be a feat in itself).

How is everyone else doing???? Has anyone read about 10 to 16 books this year yet??

@ElleX I am way behind I am just on my second book,and I really dont like it, but I hate to stop reading a book once I start it.I knew the month of Feb would be a tough one for me, soo I have some major catching up to do!

Fantastic challenge - I'm all in. I used to read A LOT, but life and career seem to have gotten in the way. You know, if I prorate the schedule, my goal will be 84 books starting now. Ok ladies, I'm taking a deep breath and jumping in!

I'm currently switching between three books:

- The Flexitarian Diet
- Eat Pray Love
- Going Rogue by Sarah Palin

I'd better get that library card!

I think I probably already have read 50 books so far this year! I'm such a book addict and usually get most of my books from the local library.

Recent reads that I really enjoyed:

1. Freakonomics
2. Superfreakomics
3. Introduction to evolutionary psychology

Would really like to read Thank God I'm natural.

Kinkynappyhappy, I read "Through it all" last year. It was a nicely written book. Christine King Farris sounds a real lady.
