New challenge - paid books. Randomly chosen 7, not sure why4/7
Good challenges Desley - I'm too disorganised, I just pick a number and don't worry about categories!
I just love setting challenges

Wow, don't think I've ever added my first book so early!
Slowing down a bit now, but another finished
Finally updated, hadn't realised I'd got so far behind. Really good start to the year though.

Hmm, seems I forgot to update the last 3 books, so hopefully up to date now. 1 book ahead though, which is great, especially as I have 4 books on the go!!
Oh dear, seem to be really behind on updating again!!! Finished 4 this week, mix of new and favourite authors, and my first classic of the year, just need to read some non-fiction now.
Hmm, just come on to add the two books I finished this week and I was 3 out on my number, so must have forgotten to add last week's!! 2 books ahead, and 61% through one I am reading, so should finish that this week. Really need to start reading some doorstops, a few have been around 370 which isn't quite enough to count
Doing well then! I've been avoiding the doorsteps mostly after failing to meet my target last year :-(
I probably should, but it is one of my targets and helps with the page number one.
Another book finished, so still ahead. Still 3 on the go too
20 finished now, still 3 ahead, and still 3 on the go, although struggling with one of them.
Good going. I've now managed to get 3 ahead on mine too, though I'm only reading one at a time at the moment. I quite often have read 2 or 3 at once though.
Glad you are finally ahead
Me too ... it was telling me just now I was only 2 ahead and had read 39 when I'd just added 3 books (38 and 3 ahead a day or so ago!) but when I click to go to the challenge page, it shows 42 read and 5 ahead. GR glitch.
And another two finished - now need to spend some time concentrating on watching TV, taping more than I can watch!

Hmm came on to update my challenge and found I was 5 books out, so have updated some of my categories, will need to sit down and work things out to get the rest. At least I'm ahead.
Think I've updated everything, although not sure it has picked up the pages on two of the books - as they were only around 38 pages each, I won't worry too much, unless I am short at the end of the year, then I'll add them manually. Am ahead though, which is good, despite being behind on challenges for another group. Think next year I'm going to focus on all the ones I've paid money for.
It's good you're ahead Desley. I'm managing to keep well up too.
Yeah, and just about keeping on top with the TV too.
Still ahead, colour challenge will go up a lot this month as it is red, white or blue and I appear to read a lot of books with red on the covers! My paid books however aren't going to get met, as I've just got another free KU trial.
Another target hit - non fiction. Most of this year's haven't been my normal non fiction books though. Also realised the latest one hits my colour challenge too!
Thanks, will slow down for a bit while I try and catch up on TV - I only ever seem to be ahead on one or the other, really must be more selective - on both, looking at the piles of unread books at the side of me, much less what is on my kindle!
Groan yes ... the Kindle is being neglected apart from constantly re-reading my own book through on it for the edit!
Still doing well, finished 2 this week, although I hadn't added the one I finished last Sun as I was close to finishing my paperback. Still ahead, think I might struggle to hit a couple of challenges, paperbacks are taking a while as I am reading them out loud to the foster cats and I can't read as quickly doing that!
Do the cats enjoy listening - that's interesting.
