Book BFFs discussion

How is everyone doing on their yearly goodreads challenge? (If you are doing it).

Someone make me feel better that I am 11 books behind ;)

My goal is 105 this year.

I kept forgetting to put in dates so it doesn't count them when I put in the review so now I have no clue how many I am away from my goal, but I think I've probably surpassed it. Mine was only 50 and the last two months alone I've read over 25.

If you know what books you've read you can go back and add the date by clicking edit review!

My goal is 100 books and I'm at 75 - 19 books ahead. I don't think I've ever been this far ahead :)

I'm so jealous! My goals 100 I'm at 52. 4 books behind :(

I'm at 70 out of 100. But I haven't been working the last 6 months so that's why. I think last year I only read about 100 total

My goal is 100 and I'm at 70 so far. I am 14 books ahead of schedule. April - June was just awful so I'm trying to make up things so I can up my goal to maybe 125...

I want to up my goal too. Might copy you and change it to 125 =)

I'm gonna keep my goal the same even if I surpass it because in previous years I hadn't quite made it to my goal. Last year I finished at 96 with a goal of 100. So I'm gonna use whatever I go over to gauge what I should set it to for next year.

Last year my goal was 150 and I barely made it with just reaching my goal. It was stressful so I lowered it this year so I had wiggle room.

I made my goal 125 at first because I read 103 last year and I wanted to push myself. After I got so far behind I lowered it to 105, which is still more than last year. I'm trying to push myself to get there!

I have faith in you! :)

Thanks!! :D I'm slowly catching up. I was 14 behind at the beginning of the month, only 11 behind now. ;)

I just completed my original goal of 75 books this year (which I'm SO excited about, because I only read about 50 books last year!)

Since it's still early in the year, and I have a ton of books sitting in my TBR pile, I got brave and "upped" my challenge to 125.

(Breathing heavily and trying to get past my fear of commitment - lol!)

That's awesome. You're doing great. I think you'll def be able to do 125!

I set my goal for 60, and have currently read 39. Thats with taking roughly two months out of reading to put 100% of my spare time into doing extra work for my college work and making sure I passed :D I'm pretty happy really c:

My goal is 100, I am at... (had to go look)57, so I am on track, but it is taking me a while to get there. I have had a bit of a reading slump lately so I threw in re-reading the true blood books to get me through my slump a bit. I got all burned out reading only review books.

My goal is 150 and I am at 115 read for the year putting me at 7 books ahead of schedule.

My goal is 150 & I'm at 106. I really wished you can track rereads without me having to create a shelf.

I hit my goal of 100 a few days ago :))

That's a good idea about making a shelf for retreads. I didn't even think of that. I was changing my read date but that was making me mad bc then it was being taken out of my 2012 challenge lol

It really would be nice if you could add multiple dates for a book read. As most bibliophiles I know read a good book more than once. There is just something new gained with each re-read of a beloved book.

I guess we have to like... Re add the book wit a different cover to get it to count twice LOL

I have a a "Read in YEAR" & a "rereads" shelf to keep track. It just won't count toward my GR challenge #s.

I just finished mine the other day. My goal was 50 but since I finished early I upped it to 75.

To make my rereads count towards my challenge for both years I just add a different edition. I think a reread marking option would be a great improvement for this site!

I've actually suggested it to GR since I have read Obsidian twice this year and was peeved that it didn't count towards my challenge LOL
