Absolutely! Last night I upped my 'goal' for the year for about the 4th time. I didn't realize I read so much...

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

WOOHOO!!!

[Gisela, Moderator]

With Dawn's books and our reading super powers we passed the 75% mark. We are currently at 79%. We rock!

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

I love that gif, Gisela. LOL!

79%! Woot! Now if only I could catch up with my personal goal. I'm still 5-6 books behind. *sigh*

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LMBO! Thanks, Gisela!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I don't know how I went from four books ahead on my GRs Challenge to six book behind! Eep!

UMMMMMMMMM LK that isn't good. Another friend of mine said she went from several books ahead to a few behind too. I don't know how that happens either unless you are reading some larger books than normal...is that a possibility?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

No... I'm getting my house remodeled. LOL! I don't have time to read, unless it is audio... and I dropped and broke my iPod the other day... etc. Sorry, Robin, didn't mean to confuse you.

STOP IT LK!!! SEE, here I was taking you all serious and crap and you are sitting over there being sarcastic and LOLing, probably even more NOW than you were before, because you know my little pea brain just wasn't thinking, but that is nothing new. Naughty Naughty!!!! Where's the stud at with the sprinklers, I think you need punishment now, oh but wait.....u might like that.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I might. Plus, I thought I was supposed to punish him? Oh, well. We'll take turns.

[Catherine]

well...I am so far behind!! you shouldn't be complaining about 4 measly books! in my defense..I am reading a whole "£%load of chunky books...so I guess not too bad all things considered! lol

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LOL! That is fine, Catherine. ☺ I read a "chunkster" also.

[Catherine]

yeah..but It's really becoming a greater challenge than I expected! I mean...when am I supposed to sleep?!?!?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Sleep? You're sleeping? That's not allowed.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Next, you'll tell me you're taking time to eat. LOL!

[Catherine]

eating?!?!? is that absolutely necessary? lol

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Speaking of eating... I best go hunt something down. Talk with you ladies later!

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

LMBO!!! You all are too funny. I guess if you can take time to play with punish the sprinkler hunkster, I guess Catherine can take time away from the chunkster and eat and sleep LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Catherine]

why thank you! lol :) although..lack of sleep can cause insanity(I think)...I am insane even with sleep!

LOLOL Aren't most of us that way naturally ☺

[Catherine]

@Robin...well..only can speak for myself..but if you saw my tbr list...you'd understand...and it is growing exponentially!

I'm going to go look now LOL

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

@ Catherine Looks like mine but I don't have all my lists from my computer and all the books from kindle added YET...I need to get everything added here to GR but I don't see that happening any time soon ☺

[Catherine]

@ Robin..well..there are some books that I have not got on here....but when I joined..I think I only had around 1000 on my list.....which means that I have added over 4000 since I joined!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Neat to see you two just carried on without me. ☺

[Catherine]

@ Lisa Kay....well. there's always room for 1 more! Lol. :)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh, no!

Oh, no!"

It does it every day multiple times...it's what happens when you live out in the middle of nowhere LMAO it used to make me curse like a sailor but now I'm used to it and so I just go pick up a book and come back later LOL

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Well, at least you're easy-going about it. I guess it wouldn't help to get all upset if it is happening so often. Like that you're flexible in your reading media delivery.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh...we are doing so good!

Sunday Update
(includes Catherine's 69 books)

4,109/5,000

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

We are still doing great, even if I am personally six books behind due to all the reconstruction in my house.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

WOOHOO! We're doing great!

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Woot!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Really! Woot! (I like that word, Rachel. ☺)

After three weeks of chaos, I'm lucky to only be six book behind. Of course, I was six books ahead when it all started!

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Hot diggity Dog diggity!!! We are awesome!!! WTG everyone☺☺☺

Just Curious: So what happens when we reach the 5000 mark early? Do we keep going to see how far we can go or does it just stop there?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I say we keep going... but we can vote, if you like.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I say we keep going. Won't the ticker show us how far over the 5000 mark we are?

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

I say we keep going too. I was just curious if after 5000 if the ticker just stopped or if it would still keep track...lol I have never used a ticker before LOL

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

No, the ticker keeps should how far over we are...with a number listed.

[Gisela, Moderator]

Ok here we go:

We read 141 books this week 4 books over our average. At the moment we are at the 82% mark and right on track!

I agree that we should just keep going after hitting 5000 and see what number we endu up with on December 31st.

[Lina]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHA! We are incredible :-)
*Does a "Go Ricky" happy dance*
Go Us!
