How time flies! Can you believe that half the year has already gone?! Nonetheless, I made a list of the books I read over the past 6 months, and here is the list (the top being the earliest I read; highlighted in blue means they will be shortlisted for my 'Book of The Year 2007'):

All right, so I have read 23 books for the past 6 months. After making some calculations, that means I read an average of 3 books every month. Not so bad...but I think there's always room for improvement, hehe.

Hello Mel, I think I should do one mid-year summary too. I only have a June summary. Haha!
Sure, why not? It's always fun to look back at the books we read...I can't wait to read yours. ;)
Alice - Darla and I have been doing this for maybe 3 years now for our reading group that she and I are both in. We call it "50 Challenge Book", which mean challeng ourself to read 50 books by the end of the year. But if we already reach 50 books then we can try 100 :) Since the 3yrs (Is it 3yrs Darla? Or more then that?) that she and I did this I have been listing all the books tht I have read for each months. So far I have read 28 books total since January of this year.
I just never posted on my blog, which is why you never seen it :)
Julia, please post your list! ;P Would love to read it.
Really? Should I do this? This be too much work for me LOL
Nah....it won't take up too much of your time. Just don't watch too much TV! LOL!
You're putting me to shame, Melody! Great list!
LOL Melody - so you blaming my TV now bwahaha! Okay - I will posted it at my blog -- I think I'm going to do this for now on at the end of each months -- just like the way I did for "50 Challenge Book" at my yahoo group :)
Great list! I just finished my 27th book of the year. I was glad to see that someone else finds it difficult to read 40 books in six months! a
Ps: I signed up for the 50 book challenge this year as well.
Myutopia - This should be fun....I wish you good luck reaching 50 books by the end of year :)
Hi Debi, I still think I'm way behind!!!
Hey Julia! I'm glad you decided to do it! I'll check it out later.
Hi Kelly, thanks for visiting! I don't think I'm able to read 40 books within 6 months. Too little time!!! Hmm...unless I quit my job! LOL. Kidding! :P
