   Congrats Jenny! When I grow up I want to be just like you. LOL I think I may need to work on my reading speed to get to that.

      Great job, Victoria! My goodreads challenge doesn't count rereads, but I think I will add them in at the end of the year to get my true total!
    
  
  
   I've just ended my challenge of 100 books! :D I think I will not update my goal and just see how many books I can read. I guess I'll be slowing down from here since there is less of spare time and more of work to do.

      I counted up all my rereads--I've reread 11 books so far this year. So my total is now 272 books!!! WOOT!
    
  
  
   250 books wow! Congrats!
      250 books wow! Congrats!By the way I finished my GR Reading Challenge in July or August I think - but that where like 50 books xD
 My goal for the year is 540 books. I've read 416 so far. I was 1% behind but I added my books that I read the last few days and I think I will be back on track or a book ahead, I hope.

      Holy Smikes! And I thought I was ambitious!!! 540 books!! WOAH!

 Iooriginally put 600 but I knew I couldn't make it so I lowered it. I don't sleep much and I'm extremely fast at reading. I don't skim pages and I read full length books. I very seldom read short stories. I haven't added audio books either unless I have it on my Kindle snd reading along. I know when I do listen to audio books I listen to them on speed 2 or 2.5. I lose interest on that slow speed. I guess if I counted audios I would be well over my goal. I don't think about it until I read a comment about the goal. I don't watch TV anymore either. I sleep 2-4 hrs or skip days.

      Wow, that's unbelievable! If everyone was a voracious a reader as you, us authors could all retire!
    
  
  
   Well done on reaching your goal, Denise!
      Well done on reaching your goal, Denise!Well done Lade and Nelly!
WOW Angela! And I thought I read a lot!
 That's all I fo but a read a wide selection of fantasy. I'm actually afraid to put on this group some of the things that I'm reading. I don't post what I'm reading unless it's YA.

     Holy Angela. That's. Wow. Wish I could read only half of it in a year but even if I would be reading 20 hours a day I wouldn't be able to do that haha. My reading speed is like zero. (Unless it would be books with only 20 pages.... HAHA)
