180 of 374. https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/...I think the GR programming does it for you at the end of your Challenge, Annesha.

Make sure that when you are adding books, you are on the last page. If you have been browsing through some of the posts, it is a good idea to refresh the page before you add your books, so you are starting from the correct total.
You can choose to just add a total of pages read - some folks do this once a month. You can type in the name of the book and author and pages, and add them to the total, or you can use the "add book/author" feature above your comment box to link the book. Generally, if you are listing more than one book in a post, you should include the pages for each book.
As one of the resident Number Junkies of the group, I actually have an excel spreadsheet where I track all the posts. This helps us catch any math errors that may happen, and I can let the group know how we are progressing towards the goal.
I have just finished book 96 of my target 200. 1 book ahead of schedule currently.

Just read A Time to Run: Constable Sammi Willis #1 by Australian author J.M. Peace which brings me up to 97. *:D
Well done Amber! I am now 2 ahead of schedule. Just reached 101 books for the year, just over half way for my yearly total of 200!
Have read 49 of 55 and am currently 21 ahead of schedule. Last year my goal was 60 and I exceeded that slightly. L:ooks like this year I will be way beyond 55 or 60.
123/150 read so far - 47 books ahead of schedule :-)I can hardly believe it....
13/20 3 books ahead of schedule. I only challenged myself to 20 books this year because until April of this year I really couldn't seem to get into reading. I'm sure I'll surpass that.
I decided to leave the goal at 55 and am now reading book 58.
I'm more ambitious than that, Gary, but I have to be since it's the only form of entertainment I can actually afford.
I'm thinking for next year I'll take a 2 year average in setting my goal. I have not read any doorstoppers yet this year, last year I had at least 3 as I reread volumes 1-3 of The Wheel of Time. I still plan on reading books 4-6 this year. I'm going to back off monthly mini-challenges in various groups to get to those starting next month.In my case it has little to do with ambition, more to do with available time as I pulled between my law practice and spending time with my elderly parents trying to help at their house along with my sister. My dad is 91 and a WWII vet and my mom will be 89 in October.
Family is more important when your parents are that old, Gary.
Met my goal of 150 books last night :-)

Amber,With all due respect.........I have to ask how you read so many books. 217 books, so far, this year is staggering to me. I commend you.
I just wonder how you fit so much reading into your daily schedule. I realize it is none of my business.......but it is a question I have ask myself many times.
What is your secret???? Do you never sleep????? LOL!
I have now equaled last year's goal of 60 books. 5 beyond this year's goal of 55.
Yes, I do sleep, Ter'e, though not well and no that's not because of my reading. I don't sleep well due to a bad arm. I don't know WHY the arm hurts so damned much.I read as much as I do because I do not have the financial means to do much else to entertain myself, other than 3 hours online at the library, Monday through Saturday. Plus I read while waiting for my med cabs on the way to and from doctor's appointments, while waiting in the doctor's office, while waiting for my turn at the pharmacy. And even while waiting for my laundry to finish at the laundromat.
I have read 92 books so far this year.
Amber.......that's one of the things I like most about you. You are "tell it like it is, Amber". Books have always been my escape.........for whatever reason. My bookcases and my Kindle are buldging! So many books - so little time.
I carry a book, with me, wherever I go. As soon as I open my book......Hubs opens his mouth! Yak yak yak! Lol.
I have said.....soon as we have the main area of our house finished, which is very close..........I can really start organizing my hooking room. I am putting a sign on my door........"The Hooker is busy!!!!" I am putting a comfy chair in there........so I can read or hook during the day........and not be bothered.
I hope you mean "hooking" in the craft sense of making a hooked rug. LOL.
Do people still do latch hook? I have a wall hanging I did many moons ago....Have finished my 94th book of the year.
LOL!!! Yes I hook rugs in the old style........one loop at a time. 100% wool, literally painting with wool.Latch hook is totally different..........we all have our fav styles tho.
Amber.......I am too old to be the "other kind of hooker".
LOL.I added 4 books to my count for the year. I've read 223 out of my hoped for 355 books for the year.
https://www.goodreads.com/user_challe... is every book I've read this year.
Have finished 96 out of my goal of 225.
169/150 books complete :-)I should probably have upped my goal, but....
Last year I set my goal at 60 and read 64 books. This year I set it finally at 55 and I have read 65 so far and am currently reading books 66 and 67.
Have finished 104 books out of a goal of 225.
I have 216 out of my goal of 250 read :)
