I saw this thread on the Bendis Board and, seeing as how I managed to complete 4 books this year, it seemed like a noble, if foolhardy, goal.
The basic point is to read a book a week for the entire year. The rules, stolen from their blog, are as follows:
- You can count a book as read as long as you have completed the book in 2010 and at least 50% of that reading takes place in 2010
- Any book counts as long as you’re not embarrassed to count it.
- Poetry collections do indeed count.
- Re-reading a book is okay as long as it isn’t done this year. (Reading Twilight twice in 2010 only counts as 1 read)
- Audiobooks also count.
3 and 5 probably won’t mean much to me, but I’ll give it a shot.

[…] In year one, I only managed to finish 8 books. Year two doubled that total. Year three used a few graphic novels to improve once again, finishing with 24. Year four was the first where I dropped from the year before, only finishing 18 books, which was well short of the ultimate goal. Year five, I bounced back to finish with 23 books. Year six, I had my best year since starting this challenge, not to mention my best reading year ever, finishing with 31 books. In year seven, I matched that high point in total books, though far surpassing it in total pages read thanks to reading the entire Harry Potter series. Three years ago, I dropped back down to 28. Two years ago, I finished with my lowest total since 2014, finishing with only 22 books. Last year, I managed to up my total back to 28. […]
