message 1: by Eileen (new)

Eileen I was just wondering did you set a reading challenge for yourself this year? If you did, how did you do?

I reached my goal of 25 Action Adventure reads for this year. For Goodreads I was hoping to read 75 books this year. Right now I think I'm 3 books behind for that goal. Maybe I'll get there, we'll see.

I did really well with my challenge. I read 25 and my goal was 15. It was great to explore this genre in greater detail. I knew I liked A/A, but I realize that this is one of my favorite genres now.

Eileen Me too! I have found some great books in this group and people, too.

I have exceeded my goal by 3 and probably a couple more.

I might try for 20 next year. I won't meet my GRs yearly book challenge goal. :( But I'll try to go up a little from what I do this year on all my challenges.

Tracy | 115 comments I set my challenge at 30 A/A books and have read 32. My GR challenge was 200 and I believe I am at 216.

WOW! Great job!

I'm wondering since you read so many books, do you read all the books in a series or do you jump around from one author to the another?

Smart thinking, I'll have to try that next year.

I jump around a lot. I do love series and I read them off and on until I finish. Normally I will read three back to back but after that it's sporadic.

Kevin (spiralcity) I set a simple goal of 10. I reached it with no problems.

It sounds like you'll meet it and then some, Kevin.
