Bring it on :D

[Coralie]

I just recounted mine. 184 with 2 more to be added without any further effort in November (as I have already all likely winners of the polls).

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

BOOM! Coralie brought a rocket launcher to a gun fight! Supe and General gonna take that sitting?

Edit to add: this is all incredible, you folks are committed to the cause!

Have I ever told you that you're my hero?

[Sarah]

No kidding! That's awesome, Coralie :)

[Coralie]

To be fair, I have been reading science fiction for about fifty years and had read many of them before joining this group. It does help to have a head start.

[Trike]

Coralie doesn't believe in the no-win scenario.

[Kim]

I'm still waiting for someone to catch up to me.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

This thread is suddenly a masterclass in escalation.

[Sarah]

Kim, I'm totally going to surpass you. I'm going to read all of the books on the bookshelf plus one more. That works, right?

[Melanie, the neutral party]

@all the achievers...you could send your way through all the buddy/extra reads to determine ultimate domain ace....not sure why I'm prompting completion though since I personally like having a contact list of books to choose from that are most likely good reads.

[Sarah]

Kim will always be king. I don't know if anyone else who's planning to read the entire shelf.

Kim may be king but I will still bow to Zod if he gets ahead ;)

That's why I try and read all the runner-ups :P

[Sarah]

Okay, you win. Sigh. Now it's not even worth trying to read everything.

*sniff sniff*

Aww, no it's more reason to read all the books!

[Sarah]

I don't know, there's definitely some crap on there. Doctor Who? I've seen how much you loved that one.

[Valerie]

I plan to join you in reading them all.

Although, my mind just might blow a fuse at the thought of going back and reading all of the runner ups.

[Kim]

I'm not sure if there's a definitive "B-List" of the runner ups but I'd be curious to see how many I've crossed off. It's what I normally read if I've already read the winner.

[Valerie]

I may have to add a new tab to my spreadsheet. #dorklife

[Sarah]

Poor Valerie :p

[Kim]

A lot of runner-ups have come back to win at a later time. I might have time to pull a list together later if no one else does it first.

[Sarah]

That would be pretty cool. :)

Is it suddenly hot in here?

[Kim]

I pulled the data and I've only read 28 out of 88 unique runner-ups that haven't become monthly reads. I've actually started a thread with more data here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Silvana]

66 out of 219. Not going to force it but I'll be glad if could get to 100 in...maybe three years.

[Amanda]

Congrats to all those in the "Over-100" crowd! :)

This year I've managed to get myself up to a current total of 49, and am currently reading 50/51. I was hoping to do more, but the summer got busy and I got off track, so now I'm furiously trying to catch up, which is being made easier by audio books.

[Hank]

Awesome everyone from 10-219. I don't have aspirations to follow Kim and Valerie, I am shooting for 90%, hopefully will get there sometime in January.

[YouKneeK]

I just finished my 52nd book from the group shelf earlier today.

I’m not likely to ever catch up with all the books, though. I normally only average about a book a week. I’ve had more reading time this year so I’m a little bit ahead of that average, but we add 24 books to the shelf per year, not everything I read is on the shelf, and series books will always set me back since I prefer to read a series all at once if I’m enjoying it. The group shelf has a lot of books that stand alone or are the first book in a short series, but it also has things like Discworld. :) 17 of the books I’ve read this year have been from Discworld, interspersed with other things because not even I can read a 40+ book series all in one shot without burning out.

But I love the group shelf. It gives me a good variety of books to choose from in my two favorite genres. I added most of them to my eReaderIQ watch list, with the exception of books that are part of a series that’s still being written. Whenever those books go on sale for $3 or less, I grab them and add them to my TBR list. I also really enjoy going back and reading the old group discussions after I’ve finished reading a book.

[Trike]

I just completed #12 of 12 books for my club read challenge this year. Some of those were accidental, but it's nice to actually achieve a goal for once.

[Silvana]

Finished 15 from my 12 (!) target this year. Maybe next year I should increase my target after two years of 12.

And since we did discuss female authors in another thread, might be useful to set up a female author challenge next year.

[Sarah]

Nice job ;)

[Stephanie]

I've read 29/221 since joining Goodreads, but there's another 15 books on the list that I read before joining Goodreads.

[David]

It looks like I've read 37/223. or 16.6%. I thought that was pretty good when I was counting it, but it looks like that's peanuts compared to some of you here!

Then again, I only joined last month, so the only book I read for this club is Pawn of Prophecy.

[Lizzy]

I recently joined and have apparently read 31 of the groups’ books.

[Lioth]

End of year update:65 out of 225
Slow but steady.

[Hank]

I will finish with 193/225 was hoping to hit the 200 mark but too many other books stole my attention.

[Monica]

Great job Hank!! No shame in that number. I thought I'd hit 50 but I'm at 47/225. Been slowing way down on my scifi lately, but what I've read this year (for the most part) was excellent!

[Karen]

I went from 29 up to 46 this year. Not too shabby.

[T. K. Elliott (Tiffany)]

I've read 37 - but there are several more on the list that I'm intending to read. Could be worse...

[Melanie, the neutral party]

I'm up to 63. I also own 40 some titles I haven't read yet, so that should keep me reading for the next year.

[Sarah]

I'm at 163. I was really trying to break 150 this year so I'm pleased with this.

[Chris]

I have read 87 out 225 (38.7%). I read 35 new-to-me this year as well as 4 rereads.

[S.K.]

I'm only starting ahah. As of currently I have read the Kingkiller Chronicles, up to the second books of the Mistborn series, and the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

[HeyT]

I think I'm currently at around 72 titles from the shelf.

[Marc-André]

31 that I read before I knew about this group or its shelf. I should be adding at least 6 this year.

[Andy]

Hi new here , only just joined , seems I have only read 16 of the club books , however I noted that often they were book one of a set of books that I have read every book in lol

[Ellen]

I'm up to 48 now. I've read 27 since joining the group in August.

[Bill]

Up to 103 out of 225(45.7%). Not too bad.

[Rob]

93/225 (41.3%) mostly by coincidence since I don't really have time to read along with you guys.

There are several others on the list that I own and haven't read yet and even more that I don't own on my TBR list.
