Goodreads Reading Challenge

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

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

[Victoria]

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 the sequel to which I read last year, another very large book! :)

[Karen’s Library]

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.

[Joanna Marie]

Wow Karen! :)

By the way have a blessed Holy Week everyone.

[Karen’s Library]

Thank you, Joanna! And the same to you! :)

Welcome Karen! :)

[DeAnna]

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!

Lol *covers ears* It was just an idea :P

[Ruby]

Doing terribly...67 books behind and counting! Procrastination and reading are not a good combo.

[Lola]

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.

[Victoria]

Same to you Joanna!

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

I am at exactly the same count as you, Lolita! 6 ahead for 125! ;)

Lol eek! Just lower the goal, we won't tell!

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

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

Hahaha! Hmm yeah, the damage will be irreversible :P

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

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

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

[Brandy]

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.

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

Eh only a book, you'll get that back easy :)

[Joanna Marie]

Just upped from 20 to 35! :) I'm ahead!

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

Yes!!! More books is better if you can fit them in ;)

[Denise]

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

[Jen]

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!

[DeAnna]

I've slowed down a little, so I'm only 7 books ahead now.

[Victoria]

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?

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

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

[Bee]

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]

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

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

Up it up it!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Victoria, I'm also on book 100 out of 200! Yeah, I think we should up them! I'm going to change mine to 225 right now and see how it goes!

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

You two are AMAZING!

I'm speechless to your speed Jen! :D

[DeAnna]

Agreed. I don't think I'll even get to 100 books this year, let alone in just over a quarter!

[Jen]

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 -

Another Jen is killing it! Hehe!

[Karen’s Library]

I think I'm going to up mine again too! I'm 9 ahead and I already upped once to 125. 150 here I come!

Woot woot! :D

[Lola]

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]

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! :)

Everyone: WOW! Well done; especially to those doing so well they're needing to up their goals!

I'm changing mine to 250.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, woot Karen and Victoria!

[Bee]

I'm 6 books ahead at the moment. :) 57 out of 150 read. :P

[DeAnna]

Woah. I am 12 books ahead of schedule! 41 out of 85.

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

I'm 10 ahead woot! Well done everyone :)

[Victoria]

Great job everyone! :)

I'm about 60 ahead... I think it said 63. I've read 149 of 250 books. I don't think I'm going to up my goal again though.

[Hannah]

I'm 10 or 11 ahead. 42 of 100 read. another is about to join...

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Well done, everyone!
I'm about 40 books ahead right now, I think!

[Joanna Marie]

Wowowow Jenny hehe! I'm around 14 books ahead! :)
