Hey Readers!!

**nancycg56** · 03-01-2010, 12:07 PM

We have a great and active Reading Challenge going on ~ we should hit at least 1,000 items read by FV readers over the course of this year. If you want to join us, please do! All you have to do is post when you have finished reading a book, magazine, audio book, rereads ~ just about anything

If you aren't sure, just ask!

Now, for those readers already participating PLEASE post when you FINISH what you are reading. It doesn't count unless you specifically say you finished it. That makes it fair for everyone participating.

Here's a link to our list of everything read so far and our individual reader stats ~ Frugal Village Forums - FV Book List 2010

Here's a link to our thread if you want to join us (and I hope you do!) ~ FV Reading Challenge 2010

Mahalo for the reminder Nancy. I keep reading books and just as fast, keep forgetting to post what I've finished!! Will try to do better in March!!

The more readers the better. It gives us lots of recommendations for things to look at.

Nancy is too modest. Her lists are awesome. They have links to Amazon or another source to check out reviews as well.

I agree - come join us!

I am participating and I HAVE finished everything that I have posted.........do I need to re-post it all? I didn't say 'finished' just said 'reading'............maybe that is why I don't think our numbers matched.........

How much are we off? I don't want you to repost it all...if you have a few minutes here and there, check the reading list and if you see something missing just post and I'll add it in this month's reading list. If a post says reading, I don't count it, sorry!!!

Nancy is doing an amazing job keeping up with it all and I love the posts from what everyone is reading. I have discovered some wonderful books by looking at the list. I put them on the wait list at the library if they dont have it in and my book bag is overflowing with great books to read. I read magazines to but I usually forget to list them. I should be more careful about that if I want to get to my goal of 100 this year. Thanks Again Nancy! You Rock!

**miss_thrifty** · 03-01-2010, 07:29 PM

yes thanks Nancy. I love that we put pics from Amazon for others to see plus If we think one book was not checked off as done- we can re-post by end of month all that we finished.
your doing a great job Nancy.

If anyone ever forgets to post something, don't worry, just post it and I'll add it to whatever month we are in

I read alot of magazines, too, but they all blend in to each other and I can never remember what I've read, LOL!

Thanks everybody ~ keep up the good work

**Palooka** · 03-01-2010, 07:46 PM

Okay, thanks for this post. I post what I'm reading but I have finished them all that I have posted.

So now I will just post what I have finished.

Oh darn.......sorry nancy.......we are off quite a bit---since we are off for both months.

I didn't know you were going to do the stats so I started keeping my own list just to see how much I really read..........so happened to have it.

There were a BUNCH of crochet books left off (always said 'reading' in the post)...........get ready for a list!!

Boy I will look like a CHAMPION reader for March!!!

FF ~ just put down a total of the books and the magazines and I'll put them on the list ~ I can't usually find a pic to post of them anyway. That way it'll save you some typing and they will still count towards you book total.

Is that OK?
