Note 1. (02.03.15): I am not big fan of fantasy like Harry Potter or Game of Thrones, for me better fiction but with real life or history.
Prefences are novel, fictions, classic books. No fantasy, no poetry.
And, I read books not only in english, mostly in russian language (but of course reading in english too for keeping afloat).
***
Note 2. (30.03.15): things going slower than I expected, but I dont loose enthusiasm. Life goes on, and we too:)
***
Note 3 (06.07.15): things going nice, as planned, half year passed, 10 books finished, so moving further, despite 4 month of absence:) I have goals, I see targets.
***
Note 4 (29.07.15): another 2 books finished, and I am thinking about removing one (Citadel) from list. Adventure continues!
***
Note 5 (30.11.15): huh, 4 months passed, and I finished only 3 books:) Finally I replaced #2 "Citadel" with "The Mysterious Island", fair enough. Also "The Kite Runner" impressed me much, special thanks for Sir Eric. 1 month and 4 books to go, easy stuff:)
***
Note 6 (02.01.2016): I have finished my last book by 30th december of 2015. So, I have completed my own challenge, and now I don't know what to say:) ... Will make new one for 2016th year, let's see:)

Lady, some book worth and needed to read every year, or more, thats why I am sorry:)
I hope you'll donate all the books you read to my school, hehehe! Anyway, you have read them and come to know their stories already. So what's the use of reading them for the second time around. The suspense is gone. :)
Happy new year, too Adlet!
Lady Anne:
I am not so much mad, I will just continue with 20 books:)
and sometimes 50 pages book is better than 500 page book (seriously)... but to know which one is good you have to read both:D
and dont forget, you are busy folks, while I had enough free time during the year. Thats why I am cautious with 40 book, who knows what will happen in 2016.
Happy new year!
Will you double it this time, Adlet? Read 40 books before 2016 ends. Wow, I think the grade of your lenses will also double. :)
It's easy to do that. I will give you a tip. Read only a 50-pages book and you can even outlast the challenge, hehe. Another option is to read only the summary of the book. Got it?
Again, in fairness with the Einstein of EC, I don't wonder anymore why you can write meaty blogs. You are simply oozing with great ideas! I think I can only read 40 chapters of a book before the year ends.
thank you Mitran, here the same, hope I can include one detective in my list:)
yes, I love her so much. I have ....maybe 10 books of her. wanna show the names here but hahaha...i don't know how can translate to English..lol...
Youre welcome. I like to read my friend's blog. Nice to know you hihihi...
welcome Molly, Carnegies books are good, but no need for shades please:)
Mitran, i like detectives, favourite ones from Agatha Christie, hope you like her too, and thanks for dropping by.
BTW, I admire you. You did better than me. I read some...
I love detective books and as I see...you don't love it. So, no idea..hihihi...
Wooow. I'm so proud of you. Pls read "Killing Reagan: The violent assault that changed a Presidency" by Bill O'Reilly. "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. "Fifty shades of Grey" by E.L.James.
