Goodreads Reading Challenge

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Thanks, I have never been so motivated by reading as I have the last 6 months! It helps to have so many good friends on Goodreads and in the blogosphere!

[Victoria]

I agree Jenny... Having people to help motivate you helps!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I just hit 140 books! I am 53 books ahead of schedule, woot, woot!

Nice going girlfriend!! You speed reader, you!!

I bumped my goal up to 150 so I'm 5 ahead of my goal! I hit 101 last year, so I definitely agree that it's because of my GR friends and all of our buddy and group reads, and R&R's that we are rocking our challenges!!

Holy crap, that's a lot of books! lol I'm super impressed!

I'm up to 47 books, and I think I'm something like 15 books ahead of schedule. I'm not going to up my goal, though. I might slow down, or it just might be interesting to see by how much I beat it. (As a reminder, my goal is 85, so I'm already past the halfway point.) It would be cool to hit 100.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Last year I read 150 books total, so I'm thrilled how well this year is going!

[DeAnna]

Yeah, I only read 42 books in 2011, so I'm pretty happy. How on earth have you read that many books already, though? lol

That was my goal for last year too! ;0

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

Whoa Nellie you all are amazing!!

[Victoria]

Awesome job guys! :)

I've been a bit slower reading this month due to a combination of working on writing more and several celebrations happening during May in our house (hubby's birthday, our wedding anniversary, and my furbaby's birthday) but I'm still about 60 books ahead of schedule, despite my goal being 250. I won't up it again though.

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

Lol happy celebrations month!

[Bee]

I'm half way through! :D 75 out of 150. Yay! 16 books ahead. :)

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

Rock on!

[Victoria]

Thanks David!

Well done Bieke!

:)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, woot B! That's awesome!

I was checking my stats, and I've read 42,700+ pages so far this year!

Oh wow, Jenny!

How do you check your pages read? Wonder how many words? Hehehee...

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

If you go to your profile page, underneath your bookshelves on the right hand side is a couple of links that say CLOUD STATS MORE

Click Stats
It pulls up a graph, and you can change from books, pages, to publication year

[Victoria]

That's awesome, Jenny!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

So as of June 1st, I've now read 153 books, and am 60 books ahead of my goal. I'm thinking I need to up it again!

[Victoria]

Awesome work Jenny!

[Karli]

Posted a couple of months ago that I had a goal of 75. That's since gone up to 120. I'm 49 books in, which means I'm 1 book behind schedule as it stands right now.

[DeAnna]

I should change my goal on here. My official goal is 85, but my unofficial, hopeful, in-my-mind-only goal is 100. I'm at 53 now, I think.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I upped mine to 250, but I'm still way ahead!

[Victoria]

Heartling: That's pretty good. And 1 book behind is easy to catch up with!

DeAnna: It's up to you if you up your goal or not. You're doing great either way!

Jenny: Mine's 250 and I'm way ahead of it too. I'm not going to up it again though, just see how far over I go to decide what to do for next year's goal.

[Sanchit]

my goal is pretty small only 20 and I m behind schedule but hopefully I will catch up soon

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

That sounds like a good idea, Victoria, I think I will do that too!

[DeAnna]

Thanks, Victoria. I did change it but then changed it back. I set the goal on January 1st, and I want to see how much I surpass it (I'm assuming I will.)

[Victoria]

Sanchit: There's plenty of time to catch up! :)

Jenny: I thought it sounded like a good idea.. Glad you agree!LOL! I've now read 172 of my 250 books.

DeAnna: I'm sure you will! :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

You are ahead of me, Victoria, I've read 157 of my 250 books!

[Victoria]

Jenny: Well, my reading's been a bit slower the past month or so, so perhaps you'll either catch up or end up ahead of me by the time the year is out? You never know!

[DeAnna]

I just finished my 62nd book of the year! That only leaves me with 23 to go to reach my goal. At the rate I've been reading, that's about 2 months! I'm 20 books ahead of schedule.

[Victoria]

That's great, DeAnna!

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

Awesome!!

[DeAnna]

Thanks! I'm really excited! At this point last year, I had just finished my 32nd book, and I've already read more books than I did in all of 2011!

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

Wow!! That sounds like a good year to me ;)

[Victoria]

Sounds like a good year to me too! Keep up the good work, DeAnna, and enjoy the books you're reading! :)

[Hannah]

I'm 4 books ahead! (53% of 100 books...)

[Victoria]

That's great Sophia!

Nice!!

[Sky]

my goal, is to read over 109 (my reading challenge from last year) but this year, I've had to do my own list to separate comics and books, since I didn't read any comics last year. so even though my challenge widget is over 100 already, books alone, I'm just over half way to 100.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I'm now up to reading 180 out of 250! I'm 57 books ahead of schedule :)

[Victoria]

Likeskylarks: That's great! Still got half the year to go, so plenty of time!

Jenny: Awesome! You're now a couple of books ahead of me, since I've only read 178 of my 250 at the moment. Not that I'm complaining, since 178 of 250 half way through the year is great!

[Janie]

I'm attempting 100 again. Last year I was at 96.
I'm 11 books ahead right now at 61, so I'm hoping that I will kill it! ;)

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

Nice! I think you've got it this year :)

I agree, Victoria, you are doing AWESOME!!! If fact, I think we are all!

[Victoria]

Janie: I think you'll make it this year! :)

Jenny: I agree; we're all doing great!

[AGirlAmongstBooks (Jess Green)]

My goal is 75 and I've read 43 so far!

I'm 19 books ahead at 75. :) I'm so excited at how well I'm doing. I decided if I hit my goal, I won't change it, but still keep reading to see what I should shoot for next year.
