136/160.. YAYYYYY For once my widget talks of me be ahead in double digits.. Am 27 books ahead of schedule :D :D
17 of 20 (hopefully tonight it will be 18) books read so far. I'm 4 books ahead, but I'm thinking about uping my goal again... or I just leave it and read on.
Iasa, I thought about raising it to 30 books, but I probably just leave it. I felt really proud last year when it walked past the 100% :D
oops now I'm 2 books behind. That is the way these next few weeks will probably be going between only 1 behind back down to 2 behind.
I am currently 9 books ahead but I started reading A Storm of Swords last night. I am hoping that between being ahead and the audio books I listen to on my commute that I will still make my goal. I don't anticipate finishing anything anytime soon.
I've increased my goal to 90, so now I'm 7 books ahead. I still feel like I'm behind, so I'm going to try and get in lots of reading during our readathon!
Congrats to all of you being ahead of your schedule :DWow, Kassandra. Increasing your goal to 90 and being 7 books ahead is awesome!
Thanks Laura! I'm working on increasing it to 100 - this group has helped so much in keeping me motivated. Plus, I've found some really good books from stalking bookshelves.
Lol, there are worse things to be! For all the non-Canadians reading this, book stalking isn't restricted to Canadians in this group...we welcome all stalkers! Wait...of books, I mean...you get me!
My widget says I'm 16 books ahead of schedule, currently at 88/100. I expect to hit it my goal in early November. I don't think I'm going to raise my goal anymore after that though. Will just read more at my own pace and maybe get some larger books out of the way before 2015.

Will just re..."Chase: same here, once i've reached my goal this year which should be a couple months ahead i plan to attach the Game of Thrones Books. They look very daunting but i've heard they are incredible.
Last year my goal was 150 and I read 155. I set it for 125 this year because I planned to read several longer works. Right now I'm 16 ahead of schedule (106). I'm thinking about raising my goal, but it's kind of nice to exceed the goal, too.

I kinda over underestimated my self."
I'd say it was a close call...
8 books behind schedule. And frustratingly, I've read most of the early books for my modules already. So can't really read anything new for my course...
Looks like I'll have to make time for personal reading! :D
Plays and novellas here I come!

Thanks for the support, Sandy. I know I'll need all I can get. Well, if anything I can just marathon on December when I'm on break from college.
Gavin, we're going to be holding an official readathon at the end of December to make the max of everyone's reading!

After you've tallied your widget...
Please try to stop by the 2015 Non-Fiction Challenge thread in the General Folder. We're trying to get a tally of most liked topics for next year's Non-Fiction Challenge. Your input would be helpful!

Having reached & revised my target in August, I've again reached my target! I'm a little proud of myself! :)
I am two books behind, but also I'm 75% through my challenge! so, that feels like something worth celebrating ^^
Mine says 123 out of 125. Since I have 3 books in progress, I clearly low-balled my goal for the year!
I'm 2 books ahead of schedule for the main widget, and 1 ahead in the group reading challenge widget. :OBut to be fair, I'm reading as fast as I can because I've committed to so many books this month.
Completed my challenge way earlier than I thought I would. The Hallloween read-a-thon definitely helped. Now, I'll take it easy, and read some of the longer books on my shelves.
I am 5 over already. This is my first year doing the challenge, so I didn't really know what to set to challenge myself. I guess next year, it should be at least 125 instead of 100. I always knew that I read a lot, but it feels pretty good to put a number to it!!
That's insane, Roseanne! A month and a half early! Well done!
Cheryl, thats one massive number. We'll be setting up new threads and everything probably in December, so keep an eye out for when you can start getting read for 2015!
