2013-12-31 [Akayume]: Anticipatory joining. :P Maybe I will actually manage to keep mine updated this year!

2014-01-01 [Nioniel]: Yay! This year I think I can do it. I halved my goal for last year and it seems much more manageable. Plus, anything extra read will feel like even greater an accomplishment. ;)

2014-01-01 [Akayume]: Yeah, I got waaaay over my goal because my goal was so small. Felt good man.

2014-01-01 [Viking]: Maybe I should change my goal to 3.

2014-01-01 [windowframe]: I've never bothered changing mine, though I'm hardly trying to reach 100 each year now. But if I lower it and then hit the lowered target, I'll have no sense of achievement because I had to lower it (that's not to say anyone shouldn't have a sense of achievement whatever goal they set, just that I'm an idiot sometimes).

2014-01-02 [Nioniel]: Have you hit the 100 mark before? I know there's no way I could read that many in a year, and I'm sure I'm not even half as busy as you are most of the time!

2014-01-02 [windowframe]: Nope. I think the closest I managed was high 70s a few years ago.

2014-01-02 [Nioniel]: Wow! That's pretty impressive.

2014-01-02 [Triola]: Actually joining, for the first time, instead of just watching <.<

2014-01-02 [Akayume]: I used to read close to 100 a year in high school. I had so much free time then. :( One day!

2014-01-03 [CuteCommander]: Good luck to those of you with a higher goal than me! I suddenly realised last night that I'll need to read more than 3 books a month to meet my target!

2014-01-04 [pegasus1000]: I have been reading REALLY slow. I thought 20 would be a good goal last year and only got to 8... If I do better this year I will be happy. Being almost finished with a book I started last year should help just a bit.

2014-01-08 [Stephen]: If I ever get around to getting a Kindle, I'll make a list. :3

Kindles do count for this, right? xD;

2014-01-08 [pegasus1000]: I hope so. I have been counting the e-books I have read as real books.

2014-01-08 [Stephen]: "Q: Can I count comics/graphic novels?
A: That's entirely up to you, and whether you personally count them as books or not. The point of this challenge is to get people to read more ... "

I'd just assume this means yes. x)

2014-01-11 [hanhepi]: My goal is 1. By golly, I'm only 190 pages from the end of a book right now... I better actually meet my goal this year!

2014-01-11 [windowframe]: Of course e-books count. X_x it would be absurd and unjustifiable to let one person count a physical copy of Jane Eyre, and not let another person count an electronic copy of exactly the same book.

2014-01-11 [Ms. Steel]: Ewww, Jane Eyre!

2014-01-12 [windowframe]: Needed less Jane, more Bertha.

2014-01-12 [Ms. Steel]: To be honest, it's been eighteen or nineteen years since I've read it, and I can really only recall my supreme dislike for the book. :-I

2014-01-13 [Nioniel]: Just wondering if anyone counts audio books. I know it's not really reading, technically, but I'm still curious.

2014-01-13 [Yncke]: I haven't counted them in my list.

2014-01-13 [windowframe]: I tried to read it when I was around 15 and just found Jane so profoundly annoying and whiney, and overdramatic. I started it again a couple of years ago and found her... still whiney and annoying, but a lot more bearable. But the incident in the red room at the start and the mad woman in the attic are still the best parts as far as I'm concerned. <_<

2014-01-13 [windowframe]: I documented them separately on the page, but didn't count them towards my total. But I wouldn't object to people counting audio books. 

2014-01-13 [Nioniel]: Since I've been commuting to and from work so much lately, I've been listening to a lot of audio books. I like the idea of documenting them but not counting them. Thanks!

2014-01-13 [Ms. Steel]: Maybe I should give Jane Eyre another go in that case. :-I

I have counted audio books in my total, but I do feel (just for personal reasons) a little like a cheat. HOWEVER... I can consume two books at once that way, and my time commuting to work is not wasted. The majority of the books on my list were actually read, though.

2014-01-13 [Nioniel]: The audio books I've been listening to have been ones I've already read multiple times; namely the Harry Potter series. It's a fun way to pass the otherwise boring travel time. Plus, like you said, it's a good way to be working on two books at once!

2014-01-29 [Yncke]: For those enjoying audiobooks: there's a humble audiobook bundle going, at the moment: https://www.humblebundle.com/ .

2014-03-11 [CuteCommander]: Well done Nio for doing the best so far :)

2014-07-02 [CuteCommander]: Looking at the lists of others, I really read some trash in comparison!

2014-08-07 [windowframe]: Pratchett, King and Tolkien are not trash! :O

2014-08-24 [Triola]: Halfway!

2014-09-25 [Triola]: I am never ever making it to 30 before New Years :P

2014-09-25 [Linderel]: Read short books? :P

2014-09-30 [Triola]: Maybe :P

2015-01-01 [CuteCommander]: I failed! At least gives me a better idea of what to aim for this year
