You're Behind! or are You?

There's an annual reading contest on GoodReads. You select how many books you plan to read in a year, enter what you've read so far/are reading/progress updates, and GR gives you % mark, telling you how far behind/ahead you are. Or if you're on schedule.
How many books have you read so far this year, and are you on schedule to finish by 11:59:59 PM on December 31st?
