Hello,

We've had a recent spat of Russian spambots to our little website. It added several dozen spam accounts to the site and caused all kinds of wonderful havoc. Because of this, we're shutting down the Registration for the website for a while to stop the bots from doing what they're been doing. I also deleted a LOT of accounts that I believed to be part of the tsunami. If I inadvertently deleted your account, please forgive me and contact me to let me know. We'll get you back onsite asap.

Best wishes everyone!

Damn, Argy, impressive! Do you have them down loaded while you sleep, or just mainlined by I.V. I've never had that kind of conviction, or dedication. I haven't made a resolution, New Year's or otherwise in years. I 've never been able to keep them, so why try. But congrats, hope you make it to 365. I guess, just don't pick something like "War And Peace".

So I'm a bit behind right now....

This past week and this week are the busiest time of the year for me, so I haven't had much time to read books.

I'm Medical Director for a Children's Camp for a week during the Summer and this is currently that week.
Last week was getting ready for everything that needed to be ready for this week - have been prepping things for about a month now outside of the online registration (which is also in my purview as I'm the Webmaster as well).

Looking forward to getting back to the books!

Have completed 186 books with today being day 195.

Need to catch up!! :mrgreen:

Ok, now you're just showing off. LMAO. Hope you're having as much fun as the kids are. Luck to you, and the kids, Argy.

Personally, I'm less impressed by the number of books you have read and more impressed by the fact that you have been able to track them so well. I figure I've averaged at least a book a day over the same time frame, but there is no way that I could list them all out !

As for the books listed - a lot of them I have read as well. Were these books that you had never read before, or were some of them re-reads? Was there a minimum page length for any of them? I noticed some were longer than others.

If you really want to make this list interesting, it would be great if you could put some sort of indication as to how good the books were (ie 1 - 5 stars, etc) For example, you have a lot of SM Reine books on the list. Does that mean that you really liked those books and that they would be worth taking a look at?

Hello Everyone!

So, I've been working on catching up (or so I thought). Was moving closer to being even, but then had some news that is going to put a big kibosh on everything. A project for my company had a deadline of October 31st, 2014. That has been drastically moved up to August 25th! :shock:

So I'm going to be spending all of my non-nursing time for the next few weeks working to complete this project so it gets done on time. I'll still be popping in every now and then, I'll also help with new releases, but book reading is going to take a big hit here for a while. Thankfully, the first few winter months coming up should allow me to catch up before the end of the year. ;)

Best wishes everyone!

Hey Argy

Sorry to hear that you have so much going on all at once. I've been following your progress on the books and was impressed. I like to think I read a lot but it's certainly not a book a day. Good luck with everything you're currently juggling.
