I don't know about you guys, but I'm surprised to see that I'm on track. I started this challenge thinking I'd be lucky to finish half, but I'm actually doing it! Anyone else feel the same way?

In december, when a friend told me about the challenge, I said that it will be impossible for me to read so many books. I'm ahead of schedule AND I read side books... So yes, I'm surprised but happy too :)
I knew I would have no problem with the number of books, but some of the weeks are so far outside my usual genre that I figured I would have a tough time with it. Those weeks have been rough, but I'm getting through it.
I started 10 weeks late, and wasn't sure if I would catch up quickly. I think I'm doing well. I'm 6 books behind now (and I got the 500 pager all done). I'm enjoying the journey. I got to read some really awesome books--some that I've been putting off forever and some I've never heard of. I'm having fun!

But here I am, still keeping on even after taking a week break for family visiting. I'm seriously proud of myself and I'm loving the experience!

Anyone else feel the same way?"Absolutely! I'm in the same boat. I thought I was way off track - but turns out I have read 14 of 16 and am working on three others! I'm not following in order, which helps me not stress myself out over this challenge! (After all, it should be fun, not stressful!)
Okay I am in a slump. Was going like gangbusters, but haven't been able to get into the past 3 books. SO I am being a book polygamist and reading them all. Just gotta get to some different weeks where I can knock some out-need that "read in a day" book!
