That's great! Keep up the good reading! :)

Janie:
Awesome! Keep up the good work! And good idea about just seeing how far you go past your goal.

[Bee]

[Victoria]

Awesome, Bieke! :)

I'm 19 books ahead at 75. :) I'm so excit..."
That's what I'm doing, too.

[Victoria]

Seems like most people at least are doing well! :)

I've read 193 of my 250 books for the year.

[DeAnna]

I'm up to 70 of 85, 23 books ahead of schedule.

[Zino]

Woah, you guys are all doing so well with your challenges. I've read 43/60 books, 9 ahead of schedule

[Victoria]

Excellent DeAnna and Zino!

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

We rock! I think I'm ahead too :)

[Sherry]

Well since I've never set a reading goal for myself before I'm only going for 50 this year. But considering I'm at 32 (not counting rereads) and really just started it in April I think it's attainable.

[Tracy]

You may need to up your goal Sherry. You seem to be way ahead of schedule.

[DeAnna]

Sherry, I count rereads.

[Victoria]

David: That's great!

Sherry: Well done! Keep up the good work and you'll smash that goal! :)

Tracy: I think most people who are ahead of their goals are just waiting to see how far ahead they get to decide on next year's goal based on that now.

DeAnna: I don't count re-reads because I don't list them, but it's perfectly fine to do so. I mean, I do count short books, which some people don't. I say if you read it you have every right to count it!

[Karli]

I've now upped my goal to 150 after I got about 10 books ahead on 120. I'm 8 books behind schedule which I intend to make up by mid next week.

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

Wow! You are killing it Karli, that's huge!

[Joshua]

I'm in awe of you all - that's a lot of books! Do you ever go back and re-read your favourites at a more leisurely pace?

[Chris]

Wow - very inspirational reading these posts. Right now I'm 7 for 25. My first year actually keeping a goal and it has been extremely helpful.

[Rebecka]

105/180... 2 books ahead of schedule. I got up to about 8 books ahead and then had a bunch of busy weeks. Can't afford to have too many more busy weeks :)

[Leigh]

144/200 I am 29 books ahead but I am slowing down.

You're doing awesome Leigh!

[Victoria]

You're all doing great! Well done!

Joshua: I sometimes go back and re-read my favourites, but I don't know about reading them at a more leisurely pace. I mean, it's not like I speed read anyway, I just happen to spend a lot of time reading so get through a lot of books.

You're doing awesome Leigh!"

Thank you. I'm trying to keep up with Sheri. Lol

[Katelyn]

My challenge is 175 and I am 1 book behind.
Most of the books that I read are indie books and I tend to get through them faster (many are only 200-300 pages).

Very interesting question! I actually have a shelf just for all the books I'd like to re-read at some point. But I only ever read a book a second time if I have a very specific and very good reason for it. I also take at least a year before re-reading anything, otherwise it'd just be too repetitive.

There is one book that I make a point of re-reading every year: Jane Eyre. It's my absolute favorite!

[Simmaron]

87/100. I'm 30 books ahead of my schedule.

[Victoria]

Well done Simmaron!

[Simmaron]

Thanks Victoria :)

[Bee]

I'm officially done with 2 / 3rd of my Goodreads Reading Challenge! :D
100 out of 150.

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

Wow! That's quite impressive, Bieke :)

[Bee]

David wrote: "Wow! That's quite impressive, Bieke :)"

Yeah, broke my own record too. ^_^

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

That is amazing, Bieke!

As of now, I've read 205/250 books. I am 60 books ahead of schedule!

[Karen’s Library]

WOOT WOOT Jenny! You rock! And everyone else! I'm 10 ahead for my goal of 150. And I count rereads! I reread quite a few. Especially if it's been a year or more since I read the first books in a series and there's a new release.

[Marianne (Boricuan Bookworms)]

My goal this year was 125 books. I'm at 112 right now... I hope I can keep up my reading once I start college next week!

[Victoria]

Well done all! :)

[DeAnna]

8/31/13 @ 11:08pm: I finished my challenge! And it only took me 8 months!

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

Wow! Very early, my friend! Congrats :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Way to go, DeAnna! That's awesome!!!

I have 231 books read out of my goal of 250. I'm at 92% and 65 books ahead of schedule! I read a lot in August thanks to 2 read-a-thons!

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

Rock-freaking-star :)

[Bee]

I'm at 113 of 150 books! :D

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

Woohoo!!

[Victoria]

Awesome Deanna! Way to go on reaching your goal already!

WOW Jenny! I thought I was doing well with 212 of 250 read, but you're doing even better! Go you!

That's great Bieke! You're only one book ahead of me!

[DeAnna]

Thanks, everyone! It wasn't a huge goal, like some of yours, but I only read 80 books last year, so it seemed like a good one.

[Victoria]

Doesn't matter how big or small the goal is. What matters is that it's the goal you set and you reached it!

[[deleted user]]

I'm going for 120. Im at 89. I'm getting there.

[Victoria]

That's great progress Jazmen! :)

[Bee]

125/150!

16 books ahead of schedule. :D

[DeAnna]

WTG, Bieke! Since I finished my challenge last month, I have slowed way down! So far this month, I've only finished 4 books, DNF'd 1, and put 1 on hold that will probably also end up DNF'd.

[Leigh]

186/200

41 books ahead of schedule.
