November Group Read Anyone?

[glinda]

It's almost that time of year, and I've a couple of looming new year's resolutions about reading books from my shelf that I could use some moral support catching up on, so I ask: anyone up for the November Group Read? As per tradition, there would be no themes or minimum entry requirements, the books could be any format - fiction/non-fiction, audio books, ebooks, poetry, comics, graphic novels, novellas, short stories, whatever you like! Any interest?

Count me in - I've managed to completely destroy my self-discipline in respect of book acquisition this year and need to make some serious inroads into the books on the shelf before the end of the year. It only took a few trips to the charity shops to ruin how good I've been in the last few years. I need to be really, really good for the rest of the year.

Second-hand bookshops seem to be my downfall at the moment, I can resist chains and charity shops but when faced with an interesting looking bookshop with unusual stock I somehow can't resist!

I'm in!

I have a ridiculous list of books I want to finish before the year is out, so anything that motivates me to do some of that is a win.

[glinda]

Yay! Hopefully the challenge will help!

I'd be interested! I have some Python books I'd like to read. Also, some library books I really need to get around to and return.

[glinda]

Argh library books, I was having a clear out last month and discover I had some very overdue book to return, it was stressful!

[kalloway]

I'm in. I'm not setting any particular goals this year, but I'd like to work on my continuing 'go through everything I own what is all this??' project and some of that is definitely books.

[glinda]

Yay! I started out having a good weed of my shelves last month but only got halfway through the project when life happened at me, so now I have a couple of piles of books around the living room that I need to read at least a chunk of to decide if they're staying or going.

I‘m in as well. I‘m lagging behind m reading goal for this year.

[glinda]

Yay! I made a good start to my reading goals this year but I've fallen really behind since the summer!

[tamsin]

I'm in as well. Not sure how much reading I will get done, but I like the reminder to get some in.

[glinda]

Hooray! I reckon as long as I read at least one more book than I would have read otherwise, the challenge has been a success for me!

[taichara]

I'll give it a shot -- I have no plan or pile in mind, but I could really stand for reading more next month for a lot of reasons.

[glinda]

Excellent, more reading is always a bonus!

[starandrea]

Count me in as well! (Here via kalloway ♥) I'm doing NaNoWriMo next month and I'd like to not stop reading entirely during that :)

[glinda]

Welcome! Ah yes, I don't Nano but I do Nablopomo and this challenge does help balance that out for me!

[bardicraven]

Sounds like fun! Got some things I'm reading - and some others that I'd like to. (also here via kalloway).

[glinda]

Yay! Welcome, welcome!

[illariy]

Yes, here, I am definitely in!

I am part way through the book "Big Brother" by Lionel Shriver and am finding it hard to read more yet I do want to finish this book. After that, there are also about 10 more unread physical books I bought and somewhere between 30 and 40 unread books I got for free. Eeek! I have to cut some of my Youtube watching time to read or I'll never finish those books. So a read together for books on our shelves sounds very well timed! :D

[glinda]

Welcome, welcome! Ooft that is a fair pile of unread books. However that is the pleasure of this challenge, it's basically an excuse to prioritise reading for a month!
