How are you doing on this challenge as we're nearing the end?

[AlegnaB †]

I've reached my goal of 40. I didn't complete all of the categories in any section, and I read some books for each of the sections. I haven't paid much attention to this challenge for the last few months because I've been concentrating on completing challenges in another group.

[Jane]

I set a goal of 40 and am up to 49! I love this challenge and how it stretches me. I'm reading War and Peace in another group, but at 1400 pages I thought maybe I could count it for my classic read for the 2018 VT Challenge as it will take me most of 2018 to finish it! 🤣

[Amanda]

I finished my goal of 52 books, and am almost done with the list (I have 10 books to finish).

[Lynda]

My original goal was 13, soon expanded to 26 books. I finished that goal, and have now read 32 books, with another in progress.

[Carol]

On track to finish! I have read 46 of my goal of 52.

[Deon]

I didn't set a goal but I got 74 done.

[Brenda]

I've read 79 so far, which is many more than I thought I would complete. I just need 1 more book to get through "Committed."

[AlegnaB †]

It sounds like the challenge got some people to read more than they would have without the challenge. The challenge helps me to read more of a variety of books.

[Rebecca]

I finished 85 from the challenge, and then I got distracted by some other reading and didn't end up finishing. I did finish all the categories but the "obsessed", and I noticed that all the ones that I "skipped" are my least favorite categories--the ones that would have stretched me the most as a reader. This year, I'm going to try to go through the list mostly in order to make sure that I hit all the books.

[Deborah]

I managed to finish the Light category this time with all 13 books and then 8/13 books in the Avid category!

[Jane]

Congrats to all!

[Mitchell]

Got 104 books in this year.

[David]

I did about the same as Deborah. This time I'm signed up to complete "Avid".
