Intro (Helens)

[helens78]

Name: Helens (helens78)
Goal: 10 books a month from April 2009 through December 2009!
Definition of "book": No page minimum; I read children's books and count those, and they often clock in very low. Graphic novels count, but re-reads count for 0.5!
Books read so far:
Order of the Stick: Volume 0, "On The Origin of PCs", Rich Burlew: +0.5
Order of the Stick: Volume 1, "Dungeon Crawlin' Fools", Rich Burlew: +0.5
Order of the Stick: Volume 2, "No Cure for the Paladin Blues", Rich Burlew: +0.5
Expecting Teryk, Dawn Prince-Hughes: +1.0

Total: 2.5 so far for April! (Eep.)

A little about my goal and my reading habits: My annual goal has been 100 books a year with 50 or fewer re-reads for the last several years, and I usually hit it. This is very slightly more ambitious, but it spreads things out a little more -- it's an experiment, but if I like it I'll probably stick with it next year. :)

Re-reads counting for half is a really good idea. I haven't been in a comm like this before - I was wondering how I would work re-reads in. Yay!

I kind of figured it would be up to people to decide for themselves., but I really like the idea of counting re-reads as half a book. :)
