Hey David, check out my latest review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
It's my best review so far I think. =)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Awesome sauce!! Love it :)

I think I'm going to increase my reading goal from 75 to 100 books since I'm way ahead right now woohoo!

[Bee]

Thank you! And haha, you're a reading machine!!!

[DeAnna]

Holy crap! 30 books ahead of schedule? I haven't even read 30 books yet! lol

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol neither have I!

[Tracy]

I set my goal for 200 again this year although I read 217 last year. I am 1 book ahead right now.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Holy moly that's pretty incredible, well done Tracy!

Well thank you David!

[Victoria]

I originally made a goal of 100 books, but after my hubby pointed out how much time I spend reading (not to mention the fact I read a little over 160 books last year without trying) I increased it to 200. Just as well really, because I'm already almost half done... I'm on my 77th book for this year, I believe. Many are children's books so short, but not all are. In fact, one of the books I've read so far this year was "War And Peace" (which took me 11 days to read) so I'm more than happy with my progress. At this rate I'll be completing my goal for this year by August at the latest though... Maybe I should have gone with 300? LOL!

[Simone]

Hello all :) My goal is 250 and I'm usually right on track or a book ahead. I've decided about 20 of these will be novellas just in case I fall behind due to life or my almost 3 yr old daughter (staying at home with her is wonderful, but having reading time isn't always easy). I think it's fair to include novellas when some of the books I read are 500+ pages. It all evens out in the end I believe :)

[Victoria]

I think, since it's a personal goal setting challenge, it's up to you what types and lengths of books get included. I include short stories, since - with a lot of the books I read being children's books - I read a lot of them, but some people don't. I've even heard some people say they're only including certain formats of books, which goes to show that it's a personal preference thing.

Lol wowwwww! That's a lot, well done!

Geez that's a big goal too! I definitely count novellas, like you said, it evens out ;)

[Donna]

I have not and do not count the boooks I read. I guess I am afraid I will feel pressure to finish books I start that I don't want to finish. But at the rate I am reading it might be fun to count the ones I do actually finish reading.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol it's just for fun, no pressure :) Give it a shot, you might just like it!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I include short novellas and ebooks in my books. Also children's books! But they aren't all short, some of them get quite long! The Diviners and Illuminate are over 500 pages! So it evens out, I'm sure!

[Karen’s Library]

I include short novellas and even a few short stories. But like said above, I'm currently reading a 1200 page novel, so it definitely evens out. :)

[Joanna Marie]

My goal is to read only around 20 books this year hehe too busy with work but I know I can hit it! :)

[Marylene]

I only put 13 books for 2013 as I usually work so many hours and have a daughter that plays too many sports, but now that she's driving, I seem to be finding more time to read. I'm on books 6 & 7 already this year. Who knows how busy the year will get though, so I will keep it this way.

[DeAnna]

I count novellas, and MG books, but I obviously don't count the books I read to my 4 and 6 year old daughters.

[Victoria]

David,

Yeah, it is a lot. But nobody who knows me is surprised... I've been a huge lover of the written word in general since I learned to read and write when I was three.

Jenny,
True, not all children's books are short. A large number are though, especially those aimed at children seven and under.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Yeah, I don't count any of those...they are mainly MG books. Atleast 200 pages! They are quicker to read, obviously!

[Denise]

I've read 26 books according to goodreads this year, but that is with the left out chapters and stuff I've read this year. Anyway my goal is at 50 I think. (Can't see it in the damn app.) but I haven't been reading this month and in April and May I won't have much time either. Father that I'm done with school - but I'm gonna work a lot so yeah I'm not sure if I'm gonna make 50 books, I hope I do though.

[Hannah]

I've read 30 books now ^_^

And growing. 70 more

You're doing well so far! I think you'll make it, or at least I'm pulling for you!

Great start! I think you'll easily make your goal :)

Definitely! with the internet crashing at home and me counting on library... I'm pretty much on a roll with reading since I have nothing to do on the computer :p

Ideas? anyone? ._. (Don't say writing... I already contemplated that... did it... and failed. Miserably to boredom)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

TV!

[Hannah]

Not having cable is kind of bad... lol. I end up watching some shows but then some are well... inappropriate for a 15 1/2 year old :p

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol so true :) There's always solitaire :)

[Karli]

I'm going for 75. I only read 40 last year (shameful by my standards) so I'm kicking my butt into gear this time round. As of now, I'm right on schedule.

[Denise]

Haha thanks David, oh well we'll see (:

And you you can listen to music and play boardgames (?) ^^.

What book is that, 1200 page novel, i could never do that, after like 500 or so pages, i just go crazy with wanting to know what happens in the ending. That's waaaaay too much for me.

[Mary]

Meggie wrote: "hmm. I've decided 100 books for this year but I've read 29 books so far so I'm thinking of setting it higher. We'll see. :))"

Lol, same goal for me too, and i think i read the same amount of books, maybe.

Nice, you'll do it!

[Victoria]

I've now read 89 of my 200 books!

Just as well I upped it to 200 after my hubby told me 100 would be too easy for me, because otherwise I'd be done soon. As it is I might be done with my 200 by September (I will if I carry on like this anyway).

[Hannah]

Wow! O_o

I've finished about 32-34 books already. And counting.

Lol yeah you'll have to up it again in September!

That's a good pace too, I'm at 30 so we're reading about the same number ;)

[Hannah]

Lol, I might move away fast... since I've been reading on steroids lately (not literally). >:3 I guess it's a handy advantage of no internet.
The terrible disadvantage is, I have to try and sneak my computer to the library just to get an internet connection because I forgot to authorize ADE T_T. Of course... there's that lovely risk of getting a major lecture

Embarrassing/doofus moments always seem to catch up to me in the end... O_o

[Victoria]

Sophia,
Well done! :)

David,
Yeah. At this rate I'll be reading 300 rather than 200 this year, LOL! Hey, at least that means I should put a nice dent on my to-read shelf! ;)

[Hannah]

A really big one ;)

I never really get the chance to clear my TBR pile (and it grows by the day) unless it's part of a challenge, XD. I tend to read it only if it's a goal. Not that anyone can blame me for it.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Congrats to everyone! Woohoo, its a book reading year! I've read 86 of my 200 goal, so I'm sure I'll be upping mine at some point!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

You all put me to shame!

[Hannah]

I'm sowwy. But I wouldn't be reading fast if I had my internet, lol. I'll be flapping by virtual wings on Twitter a lot then. :p
