Finished book 100 of 100 this weekend!

It says I´m 46 books behind my schedule and I´m not worried. I might or might not do it, doesn´t really matter. I wanted to do 153 books but it´s fine if I do it below the challenge.

edit: but when I start reading, I can manage 153 books in no time

I'm 8 books ahead of schedule right now, 101/110. Total for the year so far is 117 including DNFs, so I'm really pleased.

I've reach 365 books! That's a book a day for the whole year with several weeks left to go still! I don't think I'll hit the 390 I thought I would back in October, but I could reach somewhere around 380. Time will tell. :-)

How do you do that, a book per day?

Set myself a very low goal of 55 and I'm at 58 right now. Sadly last year I read 116. I blame my tablet. LOL

I'm on track to read 130 or more :)

I wish I could read 130 books. My goal this year was 52 and I am reading 54 now.

Congrats on exceeding your goal!

Awesome, Clare!

A lot of my reads are audiobooks, that's how I get 100+. I can't imagine being one of the people with a goal of 300 or more. No idea how they do it.

I just happen to be a fast reader, I can finish about a 100 pages an hour, so I can finish a 300 page book in one evening easy. That's how I've gotten up to the 380 books read so far this year. I just might hit 390 by year's end after all.

I think I'm too easily distracted by tv :) However, when I've only got 100 pages left in a book, I'll stay up til I finish it.

I shot for 100 and then upped it to 150 later. surpassed my goal by 6 books but i did read a lot of kids books.

300? How does one manage to read 300 books in one year?

Made it!

I've got two more to finish for my goal of 45, but I've been in a slump since last month so we'll see if I make it!

Believe it or not, but I actually finished 2016 having read a total of 403 books!
