How many books did you read in 2012?

For the past couple of years I have set reading goals for myself. This year it was 100 books, but I only managed to read 95. I haven't decided what my goal for 2013 will be, but it will probably be 100 again.
 
Um... It's a big number for me.
Ready for this....

ONE!
:hide

I'm a slow reader and not that into it. It tends to make me sleepy. I actually picked up a book a few days ago and it's really good so far.
It's called Proof of Heaven by Eden Alexander, M.D.
 
I'm going to guess less than 25...Not really sure the exact count but I know that the past couple of years I haven't been reading like I used to (I probably used to read close to 200 books a year).
 
It's hard to tell for me. Lately I havent been reading like I used to. If I had to pick a number maybe like 6 or 7 in the whole year. I used to read a book a week or more before.
 
OMG, I sucked. I got squirreled by a gazillion different things. I want to change that this year though!
 
My goal was 30, and I'm currently reading book #31. I'm going with 50 books for 2013 :)
 
Holy cow Lisa! That's a lot of reading! I read 38 this year. That's a little lower than normal for me, but I became a full time Polly at the end of 2010, so I did a LOT more scrapping instead. :)
 
hmmm - i have NO idea - i didn't track it at all - but i would guess it's around 30 - 40 ... i should track this year and see :)
 
I had myself down for 80 books for my 2012 Reading Challenge and according to my goodreads counter I have read 97 so far this year BUT I neglected to put into goodreads some of the freebie books I got from Amazon that I read in a day so its probably a few more than that ;)

Hmmm I might put down 100 for 2013 and see how I go :)
 
Wow. I really have no idea. I do read a lot, though. I wouldn't even know how to make a guess...I've slept since then.
 
OK, I feel like I should preface this number by saying that I am a terrible insomniac so I am typically reading when the rest of you are sleeping. LOL

I read 274 books this year.

:yourock Impressive!

I think I would see stars if I read that many books.
 
Wow Laura! I thought I read a lot of books but 274 is MAJOR!!!!! Congrats!!!
 
I am a really bad reader, I mus have read about 4 or 5 in the whole year (2012).....but it's better than cero in 2011 LOL
 
Oy...my total was only about 20. My goal was 15, though, so hey, it's not all that bad :) My goal for 2013 is only a modest 25.
 
I've read 35. I love to read, but I often prefer making time for crafty stuff over reading..
 
I think it was around 20. I could go get my Kindle for the exact number, but I'm too lazy to walk across the room and get it. lol. I'll probably read 20 or 25 this year. Although, once Anderson is born, I may surpass that number...middle of the night feedings are a great time to catch up on a book...and a great way to keep me awake!
 
I had some time away from scrapping in 2012 due to my health, so I got a kindle and read 75+ books in about 6 months since I've been well again I haven't even picked up my kindle! No targets for this year but I'm determined to read even when I'm well LOL
