I'm in for 40 and the Booklord challenge, I'm also aiming for 15+ of the 40 books to be by women, I think if you can't manage to read at least one book by a woman over the course of a year you're in pretty sad shape.

I'm going to just do a vanilla 52 books. Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew. I have a good idea of what I want to read this year and quite a few are big, fat books, but gently caress it. That's the whole point of a challenge, right?

I eat booklord challenges for breakfast! I would like to eat this year's challenge. In addition, I think I'm going to read a book of poetry every week this year; I've never done that before. Thank you! (Don't have a clue how many books this will come to be, I guess I should hope for 75) Bandiet fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 31, 2015 |

This sounds like a good idea! Booklord me and 52 books minimum, please. And I'm going to try for 40% by women (at least 21 books).

I'm in for 24 books this year, one every other week. I somehow managed to finish only 2 or 3 last year but still buy 10 more, so I'm also part of the No Buying club.

26 books and the booklord challenge. Feels like a low number, but I only read 12 books this year which is extremely shameful to me because I used to read a couple of books a week, so hoping this inspires me to both read more and branch out into new territory.

I'll do the booklord challenge and go for 50 books. I horribly failed my challenge last year when I didn't read anything after August, but I should be better.

Here's how I'm doing my Wild Card! I'm going to use a random word generator, then do an Amazon book search on that word. The first book that's being sold for a penny on the marketplace shall be my Wild Card! Frost! Okay, punching that into Amazon...  A book of Robert Frost poems! Well, that could have turned out a lot worse.

Last year my goal was to read all 7 Harry Potter books in German. I failed. So my goal for this year is to finish the 5 remaining books that I have, and then read 2 other 'fun' books (German or English) for a total of 7 books.

I'm going to attempt 52 books. At least 26 books by women and at least 13 books by non-white folks. Also the book lord challenge. I have my own little map of genres and subjects I'm going to try to fill as well but I reckon I'll leave the minute specifics out. Corrode posted:Also someone wildcard me please! How about Calf by Andrea Kleine? Someone wildcard me too, please!

Also, I placed those under the no challenge post because you didn't mention if you where taking the booklord challenge or not. If you want to take it, let me know and I'll add you.
