Hi!

[melancholic_beauty]

Name: Merry AKA melancholic_beauty 
Goal:  Read 50 books from September 13th '10 to September 13th '11. Unlucky number FTW!
Definition of "book": Rereads are okay, manga counts(even though I don't read it much), a book counts as over 100 pages.
Books read so far: None.

A little about my goal and my reading habits: I have problems focusing on books, so I thought I'd try this challenge again. ^_^ I'm hoping if I challenge myself that maybe I can get back into the reading habit and maybe get my concentration back! :D Plus, I'm getting a Moleskine book journal in the mail, and I don't want it to go to waste! XD

I hope I'll be posting here again! :)

Hello!

[chasethecloudsaway]

Name: Alex (chasethecloudsaway)
Goal: Sixty books between September 15th, 2010 and December 31st, 2010.
Definition of "book": No length restriction; short story collections count if 75% or more of the stories are read; rereads count, but at least ten need to be first reads.

A little about my goal and my reading habits: I'm trying to get back into books; I used to read at least five books a week until I got my own computer, and since then I've been terrible about reading. I do a lot of reading while eating, waiting, or watching television. I have a bunch of books I never got around to reading, which is why I'm putting in a requirement for a certain amount of first reads. I'm a fairly quick reader when I actually sit down and get into it; I can usually finish a book in under six hours, depending on length. So far as what I read, that's pretty much whatever catches my eye or somebody tells me to try; I read a fair bit of YA, and I've been getting more and more into fantasy for the past few years.
