2013 Reading Challenge

[DENISA]

48 of my 208 goal.... i am keeping on going..

[Cherrelle]

I have increased my goal to 30 books and I'm currently at 3. I had a really lazy week last week which didn't include much reading at all. This week, however, I aim to get a lot more done, and also a lot more read, even if that means just reading my compulsory university reads. We'll see.

Keep up the great work, Denisa! Almost 25% done! Woo!

Thank you so much... however, I do work a job where I can read some... I get about 250 to 300 pages a day read so... that is why my goal is so high.
# of 30 is pretty good too... you'll get there, I have faith in you..

Aaah I see. Well, that makes sense then.

Thanks. If I get there, I'll just add more on though. I wouldn't mind getting a round 50 read this year if possible :)

yes I do that... up my goal... One year my cousin and I set a challenge to read only books that the title had the word "me" in it and to read 50 of them... it was great fun. My cousin went to the library and asked them how to find books with the word "me" in it... The lady thought she was crazy.. Told her she need a title or author name and my cousin said, I don't know the title... hahahahha the lady laughed after she explained it to her.

[Cherrelle]

AHA! What a great story! However, I don't think I could read 50 books about 'me' without developing a huge ego ;)

hahahah we didn't developed a ego but it was a lot of fun.I rem one I read was Johnny AppleSeed and me.. hahahhaha but hey even a children's book counted.

[Cherrelle]

Great stuff :)

[Amy S]

My goal is to read 50 books and as of right now I am 3% ahead of schedule. Last year I believe I read 32 books but I really don't think that is an accurate count.

[Katherine]

Ok, I'm going to say 50 books this year. My reckoning, I have read 10 so far this year.

Good luck Katherine. :)

[Katherine]

Jack, any suggestions how I keep track, or does good reads keep track for me as I update my tbr to read?

[Jack, Founder]

Yep, goodreads keeps track with the challenge widget.

[Katherine]

Think I found how. Thanks jack. Love good reads. Another question. I am being bombarded with emails. Have tried to switch off but keep getting it wrong. Will give more details tomorrow if my recent attempt hasn't worked

[Libby]

mine is um.................. 1just joking it's in humm 50 books!

[Lyndsey]

only read 2 so far, my goal is 10..planning to read more than that this year

[Diane]

I tried to set a realistic goal too, Lyndsey. I set mine at 12 books, but hopefully I will read more than that!

[Cherrelle]

My goal is going well so far (6 of 20/30). Apparently I'm a book behind on my 30 one, but the last couple that I read were only really short stories, so I kind of cheated a bit. Ah well, we'll see how it goes!

[Henri]

My challenge is going well so far currently at 110 of 175 (63%). Provided I can keep finding time to read I should be able to meet it without worry.

[April]

I have goal of 125 and have 33 so far!

[Sophia]

I had initially said 40 books, but I've recently changed that to fifty. I've read 19 books, which puts me at 7 books ahead of schedule, so that may get bumped up to sixty if I reach 30 by mid-June.

[BattyKat]

I originally set a goal on the widget for 60 books but my reading list challenges will boost me over that by a good bit. So far I'm at 39 for the year, with two that I'm ~50% through.

[Katherine]

ok Jack where do I find the widget. Thought I had to keep count myself via my read books etc

[Amy S]

Hi, my goal is set for 50 books this year. I have read 17 so far and are listed on my 2013 challenge shelf complete with dates. On my profile page it shows my 17 books but the widget on Goodreads All Sorts only shows 15 books read. Can anyone help me figure this out?

[DENISA]

I have completed book number 66 out of 208.... I am doing a happy dance... I could slow down and still be on track but... I love reading sooooo I keep on going..
