My Dad passed away three weeks ago, and just yesterday I picked up the book I had started. I'd lost all interest in books and was too busy helping my Mom and too exhausted to read. I hope your brother rests in peace.

Very sorry to hear about your losses Brenda & Gary! Praying that god give you all the strength at this time!
99 of 346. 101 to go.
100 out of 346 and 7 BEHIND schedule.
Thank you Brenda and Arathi. Brenda my prayers are with your family. My brother is in a better place. He is no longer suffering from the very rare, very nasty version of ALS that killed him in just a little over a years time. 28 books down 22 to go. Currently reading books 29 and 30. 54% done with number 29 and 19% done with number 30. Should have both done by the weekend.
Isn't that damned fast for ALS, Gary? Here's a petition you might be interested in: https://www.change.org/p/janet-woodco...

104 out of 346Don't know what either of those are, Gary.
37 down and 13 to go. Currently actively reading books 38 and 39.
127 down. 219 to go. 1 behind schedule compared to last year.
85 and 14 books ahead of schedule. Now if I could only get my challenges done so I can start more and make myself stress out like I am doing now over completing them.

42 down 8 to go. About 20% done with book 43.
44 down, 6 to go.54% done on book 45 and 22% done on book 46.
209 read of 250 😕 Thinking I will need to increase my goal again this year. I'm surprised myself at how many books I've chewed through so far. 👓📚
47 down; 3 to go. Currently reading books 48 and 49.
Read 236 of 300. I went ahead and increased my goal from 250 to 300 books.
I just upped my goal from 50 books to match last years 55 books. I am currently reading books 50 and 51
51 down 4 to go. Currently have 3 books being actively read which will take me to 54. With luck I will have them done by the weekend.

Adrian, quite a lot 😊. I haven't watched television except for a couple hours all of this year, instead I read. I'm retired, so not working. Usually I camp all spring, summer, and fall but unfortunately this year that isn't happening. So I sit in my apartment and read. If I run errands or walk the dog I listen to an audio book. I do admit that I normally read a lot but this year has been quite exceptional in the number of books I have read so far. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping this year too, so that also adds to my reading time.
If only work and university didn't exist, I would read non stop! Only up to 60 so far this year.
54 down and 1 to go. Thinking about upping the goal again, but not sure I will. I am nearly done with book 55 and will likely finish it today.
Finished book 55 completing my challenge for the year.
I reduced mine to 100 this year, I am on my 81 book
281 of 300 thinking about increasing my goal again for the year. 😕
