ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Yes our 2016 challenge is sitting at 86% right now. GR has screwed this one up. I hope they fix it soon.

No, I only update and tag my books from my computer. I only use the GR app on phone/tablet if I am at the library looking for a book on my TBR lol

Yeah, when I saw that it only had my last year's progress at 96/200 I was very upset. My GR yearly challenge shelf is the same shelf I use for this challenge. So it definitely must be a GR issue, and it is very annoying to me too!!

We are on day 86 out of 365 days this year.

Days into Challenge divided by Total Days of the Challenge = “on target percent”
86 / 365 = 23.56 “on target percent.”
We've read 1,678 books so far. So...
2,832 / 17,000 = 16.65%

message 69: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Only a couple of days short of half year point! where did the year go?!

And we are behind! I think this is more the case of "people not tagging their books" rather than anything else.

message 83: by Rebecca NJ (new)

Rebecca NJ (njreader) | 103 comments As someone who normally reads 12-15 books a month, I was really slacking the last few months because real life keeps interfering! Hopefully I'll get back on track and get caught up. Seeing that "10 books behind" when I go to my homepage makes me sad!


message 84: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (vickiguardianofthewraiths) I have a problem: on my little box that tells me how many books I've read and how many books ahead or behind says I have read 208 but the shelf I have for keeping track says 212 I can't seem to get them to match. Any simple suggestions?

That happens to me too. It updates for about 5 or 6 books then seems to stop. If you click 'update my entry' and put in the amount of books you want to read and the shelf name again it gets back on track for another few books. I seem to have to do it every week or 2.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) No need to do all that. Just click on your numbers and they will refresh.

Good to know. I'll try that next time it happens!


message 88: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I'm 19 books ahead but that's because I didn't choose a high enough goal. 151 books so far


.•*¨`*•✿ ✿•*¨`*•. Christine .•*¨`*•✿ ✿•*¨`*• I'm 44 books ahead right now, but it will slow down a bit again as school and after school activities for the kids start back up.

message 98: by Nicole (new)

Nicole P Stupid question here but does the challenge still count books even if you've reached your goal?

Yes, it shows as a percentage above the goal mark, like "110% of goal". Just keep tagging your books with the same shelf and it will count!
