Lol! That's ok, I could slow down my writing a little and read more if I wanted to ;)


message 102: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I try to get my to-read pile down, but as fast as I do I add more books. Still, at least I can't complain of boredom or anything like that, LOL!

What book is that, 1200 page no..."


It's World Without End (The Pillars of the Earth, #2) by Ken Follett the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth (The Pillars of the Earth, #1) by Ken Follett which I read last year, another very large book! :)

I just upped my challenge from 110 to 125. I was pretty far ahead so thought I'd increase. :)

David, you are at about the same amount of books as I am. But then, we are book twins after all.

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments I'm up to 28/85. I'm only 8 books ahead of schedule now. lol I'm not upping my goal, though, because I had a really slow month. If I have more of those, I may not make my goal!

message 112: by Ruby (new)

Ruby Black (ruby_black) Doing terribly...67 books behind and counting! Procrastination and reading are not a good combo.


message 113: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am 6 books ahead. I have read 35 books so far of the 125 I challenged myself to read. I am currently reading a lot of short stories and those work really well for this challenge.


message 114: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Same to you Joanna!

Good to see most people are doing really well with their challenge! :)

I know you won't, but I will definitely loose face with the GR automaton monitoring the GR Challenges ;)

Guess it wouldn't hurt to fudge the numbers at the end ;) - FYI it still hasn't improved its vocab or phrases *tsk tsk* to GR's HAL

LOL I wonder if Amazon will try to improve it now that they own Goodreads :)


message 121: by Brandy (new)

Brandy Nacole (brandynacole) Well I wish I had good reports for my challenge like everyone else but unfortunately I'm a book behind according to GR :(
I'm not worried, I'll catch up.

message 125: by Denise (new)

Denise (eendenise) I'm 9 books ahead - or seven... Haha my memory fails sometimes... More than 6 books ahead anyway haha (:


message 126: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments My counter tells me I've read 57 of my 101 goal. Apparently I'm 30 books ahead. I think I probably should up the goal - although, there's no feeling like "Whoa, look how I outdid myself!" LOL!


message 127: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments I've slowed down a little, so I'm only 7 books ahead now.


message 128: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I'm on book 100 of 200 (just a couple of chapters left, which I'll get read this evening). That's about half way for me. I'm thinking I should up my goal from 200... At least make it 250, maybe?

Wow everyone's killing their goals! Well done, this group is full of awesome readers :)


message 130: by Bee (last edited Apr 10, 2013 01:25PM) (new)

Bee (justabluebee) I'm on 42 out of 150 books. Only two books ahead. But I haven't read much the last three weeks due to the funeral and all that, so..

Meaghan | 383 comments I'm 63 out of 100 books which puts me 36 percent ahead. I think I should up my books...

I'm speechless to your speed Jen! :D


message 136: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments Agreed. I don't think I'll even get to 100 books this year, let alone in just over a quarter!


message 137: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments OK, I upped my goal to 150. Now I'm only 17 books ahead. I have a bunch to read, though, and lots to do around this house I'm renovating. That means lots of audio -

message 141: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am currently 9 books ahead, but I want to wait with upping my challenge, because some weeks I read much more books than other weeks.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Jenny: Awesome! And I'm glad I'm not the only one needing to up my goal despite aiming for a high one to start with, LOL! :)
