good luck naman.. with 12 hour shifts di ko na masingit yung reading.. ay may time pala.. a few pages every now and then.. ang helpful talaga ng iBooks app.. :)

20 books (b/c of my schedule) ang goal ko for 2012..

Nung student at single pa lang ako, 100 is such an easy goal. Pero now, with my busy career, busy sa kids and hubby! 12 books na lang or finished a book once a month. Medyo nakaagaw din kasi sa attention ko ang Ipad/Iphone games ko. I remember na for long-haul trips before, 2 books sa one way trip pero ngayon swerte na ko kung makatapos ng isa.
But this is a good goal. Parang wala ding books ngayon that really caught my attention or ina-anticipate ko ang pagdating.

I would love to finish at least 20 books this year. Last year was a total fail for me, I finished maybe 5books.

Ang hirap din kasi isingit sa schedule, ang dami na ring distractions but hopefully I'll get it done. I'm halfway through The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, I think I'm doing pretty well, considering. :P

I also plan to incorporate in this challenge, to read 5 classic books and 12 filipino books/filipino authored books(patronize your own nga daw) out of the 80 books I plan to read this year.

Goodluck sis! I know how hard it is to squeeze in a book pag ganyan ka-busy :)

Thanks sis ANgel_eyes_2nite, : )! Agree, ang hirap na. Samantalang nung single ako, kulang ang books . pero ngayon, tambak na ang books na di ko nababasa.
But im happy na nakatapos na ko ng isa at beginning my 2nd one. Hopefully tuloy-tuloy! : )
Sobrang baba ng goal ko, 12 books.he!he!

Di ko naabot ang goal ko last year... 12 books ang kulang!  Nakakalungkot kase I know I could have done it kung di lang talaga stressed ako sa driving na yan...hayzt!

Kaya I'm setting 40 books for this year... but so far I am doing good naman naka 5 books na ako! (4 1/8 to be exact hehe)

So good luck to all of us!  ;D ;D ;D

ako, slowly as it is lang.  My target for last year was  28 books for 2011, I was able to read 33.

This year, I plan to read 30, and as of today, I read 7 books na :) 

Wish ko lang magaya ako sa inyo,  hopefully ma-surpass ko ulit yong 30.  Yong last year ko kasi, 24 lang target ko then I added 4, then eventually, naka-33 nga ko!

^ Sis, I feel you hehe Ako din, dahil busy na naman, yung last book na naka line up for January, hindi ko pa rin nababasa. Dahil even weekends and day off, ang dami ko pa din ginagawa. Pero I'm hoping na kahit papaano maka squeeze in pa rin ako kahit busy na.  ;)

up to 8 books finished na since yesterday and counting :P 

naku sis angel, was planning din to add classic books before and yong mga books by Filipino authors din.  nong nasa Pinas ako, pinipilit ko magbasa ng classic books, hehe.   inggit ako sa mga nakabasa na ng Jane eyre, etc.  Di ako makarelate.  yong Wuthering heights ko nga, naninilaw na yong pages, di ko pa rin natatapos.  have to add those nga sa lists ko.

Lagi rin sis part ng plan ko to read those genre kaya lang laging hanggang plan na lang. So naisip ko, since we're doing a challenge..isali ko na yung goal for the classics and the filipino books :) Sana lang magawa ko.
