2012 Goodreads Challenge

[Jill H.]

I set my goal for 125 and have reached 107....looks like I will make it, especially if I quit reading those 400+ page history books that I love!!!

[Tee27]

So far I've read 17 of 30....I'm determined to meet my goal. The only things is, in the midst of trying to compensate for my inconsistent reading (I've abandoned a few books along the way and/or stoped reading for a few weeks at a time) I've recently tried reading for about an hour daily. Though I've finished two books, as a result, I'm beginning to feel a little burned out like it's become mostly about meeting the goal and not so much about enjoying the books, so I'm going to have to find a balance.

[Alondra]

Congrats! You have completed your goal of reading 55 books for the 2012 Reading Challenge!

woot-woot!!

[Shannon]

Aww Tee27 the challenge should be fun not forcing you to finish books. You could always adjust your goal.

Congrats Alondra!

Hey Tee27 - don't be hard on yourself. Enjoy your reading. I promise the reading challenge is not a test - you will not flunk. I have raised my book challenge up and also down - it doesn't matter. Just enjoy yourself.

[Jocelin]

My challenge is complete.

[Shannon]

Congrats Jocelin!

[Heather]

My goal is 50 books.. And I am at 20 of 50

[Aoibhínn]

Currently I'm at 65/60 books and 25192 pages :)

[Joseph]

I'm currently at 266 of 300 (89%). I think I should be able to reach my goal by the end of the year if I get through 20 books each in the next two months. Piece of cake, right?

[Rafael]

Hi all! I'm Rafael de Cameron and I've been a member of this group for awhile because I am a book buying addict (in the range of 4-6 books per month). Is that alot? Anyway, I just moved to the other side of the table as the recently published author of The Fifth Interval. Hope to see you add it to your goals!

[sonya]

My goal is to finish reading A game of thrones by the end of the year.

[Shannon]

November check in

You have read 139 books toward your goal of 150 books.

139 of 150 (93%)
Great work, you're 13 books (9%) ahead.

Having only 11 books left to complete my challenge makes me so antsy to read. Well that and the fact that I have some much anticipated new releases waiting me. :)

Congratulations Jocelin on reaching your goal. I have 15 more to read to reach my goal.

I know what you mean, Shannon. I'm feeling antsy to read as well, and I have so many good books waiting

Thanks, Mary. I'm really in the sing of things now, so I'm enjoying my reading experience even more.

[Heather]

I am at 25 of 50 half way there.. Can't wait till I have my surgery.. It will be reading central here..

[Joseph]

I'm at 271 of 300 (90%), but I don't know if I will reach my goal this year, even after lowering it from 365.

[Julie]

You have read 171 books toward your goal of 200 books.

171 of 200 (86%)
At your current pace, you're 3 books (2%) behind.

I originally had it at 125, then changed it to 175, then finally to 200, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad that I'm a little behind!

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Finished my goal of 100 earlier this month.

[Alondra]

Congratulations to all who have finished and those that read above 100... wow. Kudos to you book-gobblers. :)

Book-gobblers is a cute word, especially considering yesterday being Thanksgiving and all :)

[Shannon]

Congrats! You have completed your goal of reading 150 books for the 2012 Reading Challenge!

150 of 150 (100%)


Yay finished a whole month early!

Congrats! I've got 16 books to go, so that pretty much means I've only got to read a book every other day this last month to reach goal. Piece of cake, right? :-)

[Tee27]

Great job! Go, Shannon!

[Paulfozz]

Well done Shannon - 150 is impressive!

I've read 41 now, where I set myself a challenge of 30, which I'm quite pleased about. Finishing off a few books that I'd previously part-read and some short stories makes the total less than that in reality though.

[Heather]

Yeah I made my goal today!! So my goal is now 65.. I got 30 day from now ..

[sonya]

horray!

[Heather]

Thanks Sonya !! I am getting ready for next years good read challenge.. I got 550 books on my kindle right now

[Aoibhínn]

Currently I'm at 70/60 books and 27211 pages :)

[sonya]

a good goal is whatever you are comfortable with

[Jocelin]

I have completed my challenge. It was a lot of fun. I read 150 books this year.

[sonya]

I'm reading three right now at the same time. My book club should finish one next week, so....good finish to the year

[Mary]

Congratulations! 25 books per month is an outstanding accomplishment.
I'm about to begin the last one to 81. Maybe I could reach 82 hahaha

[RB]

I would only be able to read 300 books in 1 year if they were all picture-books ;-)

Congratulations Joseph! :-)

[sonya]

I'm still going

[Heather]

[Tiffany]

Congrats everyone that has finished. I still have two books to go, but I have several started and should be able to make it. Someday my goal will be higher than 60, but for now - I am happy with what I have.
