Then it is whether I want to read a small or thick book. Mostly though, I read a lot more in the holidays then the school year or tafe in my case. hoping to do at least one book a week with school, work and homework in between. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-20920303969356749552011-01-21T07:51:29.625-08:002011-01-21T07:51:29.625-08:00My reading system is a lot less systematic than th...My reading system is a lot less systematic than that. Actually, it's kind of embarassing. I just pick up whatever close at hand and start reading, and if I like it, I finish it. I ususally have about nine books on the back burner, just sitting on my shelf with scraps of paper or swag marking pages. I've resolved to finish all unfinished books this year though, and I'm not aiming to read as many books as I can either. This year is more about savoring the stories than cramming as many into my head as i can.Zombie Girrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550287890162111872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-24242912822262156802011-01-19T13:58:48.025-08:002011-01-19T13:58:48.025-08:00Another entry :)

Depending on how much I like the book I'll read between 50-100 pages a day; more on weekends. I work a 9-5 and I'm going to start up classes again soon and may start a job with tons of OT so I'm really afraid I won't have time to read anymore. I read 85 books last year but set a goal for 75 this year.Stephanie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10235149943593740121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-20025446295644520742011-01-17T15:40:10.472-08:002011-01-17T15:40:10.472-08:00I kind of have a reading system right now, because...I kind of have a reading system right now, because I'm trying to get back into my reading and read more. So depending on the size of the book, I try and read it within a week. Sometimes less. I never really know what I'll be doing the next day, sometimes, so it works well with that. <br /><br />In example if a book was 400 pages long. I'd try and maybe read it in 5 days. <br /><br />So I'd do 400 divided into 5. Which is 80. So I'd try and at least read 80 pages in one day. <br /><br />Lately, I've been getting a few books off Netgalley. So I've been trying to read both books. Again depending on the pages, I'd do the same thing. But with both books and read the goal out of one book, and then read the goal out of the netgalley book. <br /><br />For the book I'm reading right now, The Dark Divine, I didn't really set a goal. <br /><br />So I'm just reading when I can.Mandy https://www.blogger.com/profile/01748815849910934075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-45105085099810059342011-01-17T15:37:24.446-08:002011-01-17T15:37:24.446-08:00Great way to stay organized!Great way to stay organized!Alyssa Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619379952262450970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-36052445488654589322011-01-17T15:14:52.169-08:002011-01-17T15:14:52.169-08:00I don't have a certain system.

As for reading, it's always when I'm in bed after I've done all my college work that day and am supposed to be sleeping. So depending on how tired I am it takes me about a week to read a book.pepsivanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184170915815736323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-23395216002471927562011-01-17T14:43:03.443-08:002011-01-17T14:43:03.443-08:00Ugh I know, school totally cuts into my reading ti...Ugh I know, school totally cuts into my reading time :P<br />Whenever I complain to my friend that I have so much school reading to do she simply says "it's cuz you read other books for fun!'
