November Group Read Anyone?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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
