Hi there! I am Tracy, I just turned 44 and this will be my 5th attempt at 75. My son is 10. he says he will try too so I will post his list next to mine. I will start a new thread as soon as I finish my first 2016 book. I FINALLY hit 75 this year - barely - I have 75 listed now, but one was a very old children's book (it's close to 75 years old and it iS a chapter book, lol) so I am finishing another to make it legit. I also have my list running on Goodreads. I generally don't post on other's threads, but I am around!
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone!

I HIT THE GOAL!!!
Still have at least one more to add, so a solid 76 this year and I've read just about 1,000 pages in other books that won't make it to this year's list but will be a nice start for next year's. I'll need the padding, I think I'm going to read some doorstops in 2017. Thank you for a place to put my list!
