I am on 14/26. I may have set my goal too low and may up it to 30. I have a busy year still so my reading may slow down.

Wow! That is incredible! =)
I am and my challenge is to read 15 books in English ^^
My goal is 50 books and I'm ahead by 2 books. I started late and I had a big disadvantage since I had school: exams and finals. :( I've caught up though and since I'm participating in the June/July challenge on Goodreads, I think I'll be able to definitely meet my goal. Good lucky to you all! Wish me luck *fingers crossed*

Ariel wrote: "34/50 - I'm 16 books ahead of schedule. I'm thinking of increasing it to 70 or 100"You should definitely increase it! You can do it! Yayyy! :)

Adri wrote: "I am! My goal is 50, currently I'm behind by 6 books! Yikes!"You can make it! I'm only ahead of schedule by 2 books while everyone else is ahead by at least 15! :/ You're doing really good :)

Nila wrote: "I might have set the bar a little low for myself at 50 but I can change that as it gets closer, a fun way to keep track!"Mine is 50 books as well! I think it's a PERFECT goal :D

I've only done about 10/50 yet, but soon my exams are over and I can do some serious reading. :)
I originally had mine set at 24, but then decided to up it to 35 (which means I am now slightly behind schedule). I just felt like a bit of an underachiever with such a low goal and so much time on my hands!
don't think of it as a competition just go at your own pace :-)
I set my original goal to 50 books but realized that I was going to pass that so upped it to 100. I am at 61/100. I will likely increase it again.
Hi! I'm Zoe. I'm 17! My goal is 100 books but i've only read 12 this year because school has been so so hectic ): but hopefully over the summer i'll be able to complete my goal!
I set it to 50, too, and I am almost done!!!! I only need 3 more to finish it!
Thanks!! I live to read, and I read to live!
Yesenia`maqueda wrote: "Thanks!! I live to read, and I read to live!"Before this challenge to keep track of how many books I read, I've never actually realised just how much I read lol. It's crazy!
But definitely, a good motto to go by, Yesenia! Like my mum said today as well: "I couldn't be without books." So, so true! Where would we be without our beloved books? :-)
To Eldarwen:That is exactly what it think every day!! My whole family is annoyed that I read so much, but I don't care!! I love reading, and I tell my parents "you say I have to do what I love, so why do you keep bothering me about reading?!?!?!"
I've set mine to 200 but I've only really just started this month due to exams so I'm behind. I'll catch up though .... do re-reads count? Because I'm mainly doing that since a lot of the books I've read are turning into films so I'm just reminding myself of the plots and whatnot. If I reach my goal before winter (which I hope I can do) I'll raise it to 300.
L set my goal to 100 and l have read 49!!!!
I am completely overwhelmed by all of your responses so far :) In the best way possible.Our cummulative goal to date is approximately 6400 books!
I am so proud of all of you for doing this challenge. And rememeber, don't compete against us (unless that helps you) but instead challenge yourself to reach your goal. It will be more satisfying if you do.
A couple of definining points: Re-reading counts only if you want it to. I personally have elected to read only new books to count towards this challenge, but any way that gets you to read as many book as possible is fine by me!
Please continue to leave standout books for everyone to look into. A couple of mine include:
A Discovery of Witches
Eighth Grade Bites
The Dead Path
The Mark of Athena
River Marked

I am a big supporter in embracing the inner book nerd. Books can take you to a magical place, like hiking or traveling, or playing sports can for other people. Enjoy it!
20/50 I'm on track finally, I've been trying to do all new books for the challenge. My only re-read so far has been The Great Gatsby.
My current goal is set to 150. Its a bit higher than I might be able to achieve, so it might have to come down. I would be better off if I remembered to update the books I finish!
my goal was 105 and i'm at 38. we will see if I can pull it off.
Had a goal of 24, but am at 23 so up to 34. When I get close to that number..we will see.I have to say I have loved pushing myself to read more this year. I have read some of the best books ever it seems and they have brought me countless joy. =)
My goal is 100 book. As of today i am at 54. Love the challenge.
I set it for 100, but I've only read 36 :/
right now i have read 1103 out of 1234. I guess i have a lot of free time.....

1103 books is some achievement! There should be community awards to those who read over a thousand books like some sort of 'key to the library' or something of the nature!If you could though, FB page for book worms >> https://www.facebook.com/TheNovelRevi...
My goal is to read 50. I've only read 7 so far since I started using Goodreads by the end of April, so I'm not sure if i can make it. I use to read much more but now i'm reading in english, which takes up more time. I think I can do it tho, I'm gonna read a lot during summer as always :)
My goal is to read this year, I'm taking so long with Uglies that I might be one book behind now.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I set up my goal but I don't know how to put in how many books I've read. Help?
As long as the books are in your read shelf, and are set that you read them in 2013, they should automatically appear on the widget.
