Here we are, at April 20th already. Can you believe we’re done with one month of Spring Reading Thing 2010 ? I feel like this month has flown by.
So how’s your reading going? Are you moving through your list? Pleased with your progress? Enjoying your books?
I have to admit, I’ve only finished two books from my list. Not impressive, I know. I am more than halfway through another book, though, and should finish it by the end of this week. And though my reading was rather derailed earlier this month, I feel like it’s back on track. I’ve been reading before bed, picking up a book at various points during the day, and just reading more overall. So I still hold out hope that I will make it through my list over the course of the next two months.
I’m doing okay. I just finished my read-aloud with Amanda (which I don’t even think I put on the list), and have finished a few books. Still chugging away on Nonfiction!
I have actually read 5 of the 14 books on my list so far. So far, so good! I think I’m doing okay with the challenge.
I didn’t think I was doing so good! However, I finished my 3rd book yesterday and then got a good way into the next. So I am roughly 1/3 of the way through my books. However, some of the ones I have to read next are a lot longer.. so we will see!
lol I finished my list a few days ago! of course i’ll still be reading, but my official list of 39 books is done!

I have finished 3 books of the list of 10 that I created. I need to kick it up a notch if I am going to finish in time!!! LOL
Just finished my second and waiting for one from the library to start next! I don’t think that’s too bad for a month.
I’ve finished five, but to be fair, I was partially into three of then when SRT began.
I can’t believe we’re 2/3 of the way through April already!!!
For the first month of the challenge, I have completed 14 books from all of my goal areas except getting to books I already have on the shelf that were recently purchased for me or by me. I’ve also added some to the bottom of the list. I’m happy with how my Spring Reading Thing Challenge is going!

Have fun in month 2 everyone!
I have read 4 of the 15 books that I have on my list. I am moving right along.
I actually haven’t read any of the books on my original list… but I have read 2 books since the challenge started and am currently reading 2 others… maybe I should rethink the original list lol
I’ve finished four books so far. Just started another which was not on my original list (!) because it’s for book club so I didn’t know what it would be. My goal for the entire year is to average one book a week. One month down. I’m having a great time with this and determined to see it through the entire season. Hope everyone is having a great time!

I challenged myself to read 40 books during this time & I’ve finished 12, so I’m running a little behind, but April is a busy month for us. I’ll catch up soon!
Oh dear … I’ve been reading, just not finishing
I finished one book that was in progress when the SRT started and am half-way through my current book and enjoying it. After many pages in each, two books have been set aside for now – just not interested.
Thanks to a Book on Tape I listened to this weekend, I am done with 5 books on the 15 book list I made in March. Officially one third of the way through. And I am determined to make it through the other 10 before June 20th.
I’ve done 5 of the 12. I’m thinking I’m doing not too shabby. I might just finish them all this time! And I’ve pretty much stuck to the list, amazing. LOL.
I’m about half way through my list of books,but I’m adding books to the list. So I’m enjoying catching up on books I’ve been wanting to read.
It’s going pretty good. A few books have snuck in that I hadn’t planned for, but that’s okay so far. Can’t believe it’s already been a month!
I’ve now read two unplanned books and have still another I want to read after that. Maybe then I’ll be back to my plan!
I’ve read 6 total. 3 were on my reading list for thus group and 3 I had to read
I’m doing pretty good – I had 15 books on my list. I’ve read 5 of those, plus 2 more not on the list. I’m in the middle of two more, one audio and one print, and I gave up on one from the list too.
I’ll be finishing book #3 of 7 (all nonfiction
) some time in the next day or so!
I did a 24 hour read-a-thon so I actually got 3 done.
I need to add more books.

I have finished two books, one which I didn’t put on my list since I was already half through. I may have to rethink my number of books as I am going to bed later and not reading as long. But reading any books is a good thing!
Yep, I’m doing as poorly as I thought! I’ve only read 5 (one of them a children’s book) books. I’m in the middle of 2 right now. Well, one of them I just started. With the great weather (gardening), baseball practice (son’s) and the extra hours at work, I rarely have time to read anymore! I need to keep on keeping on because some of these books are for review!!
I’ve only read four! Yikes!!
I only have 2 more to go!
Same here, I’ve only read two books from my list so far. Still have lots I want to get done too.
I read 4/14 of my books and the fifth book I’m reading right now is actually not on my original list. I have two business trips in May and I’m not really sure how much I’ll be able to read in airports, planes, and hotel rooms. Well, we’ll see
two of 12 finished. (started out with a list of 10, but added two more, so far)
four more started, just barely.
6 waiting, most of those are children’s / YA books.

My list has grown to 16 books and there are more to add. I’ve read 7 so far and I am currently reading 5 books. Three of them are for reviews and one is for a giveaway so those will be done pretty soon. I did an updated post on the reading challenge and you can find it here: The Misplaced Midwesterner Spring Reading Thing 2010 Update

Katrina,
I’m all over the place. I’m still in the middle of one book that is on my list, but have also been reading some other books that popped up out of nowhere. Now, the real challenge is to finish something. Oh yeah, let me not forget the children’s books I’ve been reading. I should have added some of those titles to my original list. Some of those have been read over and over and over again.
Not too shabby! Just did an update post here:
