[Availle]

It is time to open a new thread for our One Book a Week Club!

Sign up and set your goal for 2015 - how many books do you want to read this year?

Anything goes: novels, non-fiction, audio- or e-books...
Anytime goes: one per day/week/weekend/month/quarter...

Update your post with your latest read, if you like, you can give a rating or even a short synopsis.

Have fun!

This seems to be one of the oldest tradition on LibriVox. Threads from previous years are here:
2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007

[Availle]

And here is my spot on the first page - it soo helps if you set up the topic

My list from last year shows that I read or listened to an incredible 79 books (the second best achievement since I started in 2010), I'm quite proud! I even managed to read 4 books for LV last year (okay, short ones, but still) and I completed the author challenge 2014 (with quite some searching for an eligible X...) Anyway, let's see how things will go this year - I have lots of plans that should keep me rather busy...

I don't have specific plans as to how many books I'll read, probably 1 per week is a good goal indeed. I'd like to read one or two solos for LV again, anything else is a bonus.

I'll give it a go this year!

My trouble is that by the end of the year, most of the books have slipped my memory, especially the ones I returned to the library and forgot the title and author. ("That one that was about ..." doesn't help me pin it down for a list!)

I can't read those colours very well, Tiffany. Now, I don't like Charles Dickens very much, so I'd be all for covering up the fact I was reading him ... but I think most people are nicer to him than that

[WoollyBee]

Goal: 100 books

Yep, doesn't look as if I will be reading and/or documenting any books I've read at this point Sorry for taking up this space!
