YA Must-Reads discussion

I was just wondering if people decided to do the book challange this year and how many books they challanged themselves to read. I challanged myself 100 and im not sure if I will be able to do it, but I hope so!! Anyway whats your challange and thoughts.

This is my first year doing a book challenge and I challenged myself to 50 books. I know it's not that many but I'd be proud if I met my goal this year. Good Luck Claire at your goal of 100 books. That's crazy.

Ya its my first too. And thanks! Im starting to think its a little insane though...

I did the 2011 challenge but I started in August and was suppose to do 100 and I got through 61 but this year I think I can do it,its at 100 again

I tried to participate in the 2011 challenge but was not very successful. This year my goal is 100 books! Happy reading to me (and everyone else!)!

I did the 2011 challenge and went for 75 books. Going a little less this year and doing 20. Good luck with 100!

Thanks, and im sure you will do well too.

This is also my first year. c: I'm actually doing 150, because I'm a big bookworm. :D
Anyway, good luck to you all!

Wow Bethy, 150 is a lot. Hope you reach your goal! :)

I am so aggravated with myself! I have been off for 2 days and haven't gotten any reading done! Actually acted more like a zombie! Geez!

Patti wrote: "Wow Bethy, 150 is a lot. Hope you reach your goal! :)"

Haha, yeah, but I read a lot. C: And I pretty much don't have a life, so I have plenty of time to read. :D

Whoa thats alot. Im not even sure I can do 100! Good luck!

This is my first year making a book challenge, since I only started on goodreads last year, and I challenged myself to read 60 books. I have read 7 so far, so if I keep it up, I should reach my goal in under a year!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!

My first year as well and I've challenged myself to 100, it will be interesting to see what I can achieve. Read 7 books as well!

This year, I'm striving for last years 52 (since I lowered it to 40 last minute ;^]) But I'm excited to see if everyone reaches their huge goals!!!!

I am aiming a lot lower than everyone else. I am aiming for 24. With a little girl, and work, my life is a little hectic. Plus I am a slow reader. I don't like speed reading, I tend to absorb it all!!

It's not exactly a challenge officially, but I try to read one book per week for my blog.

My challenge is not going well so far. I have only read 5 books and apparently I am 18 books behind. Yikes!

Don't feel bad! I'm not doing so well either :-(

Thanks but im a little disapointed.

I'm doing the 104 book challenge but I'm not sure why. I reached 75 last year and I'm probably on track for the same this year. I have the summer off so maybe I can step it up then.

How many people are doing 100 or more? I don't see that many. I know I'm doing it. Last year(my own personal best), I wasn't a memebr yet but I read 52 books-including kindle books. So this year I want to top that! Anyone else up for that challenge good luck and all the power to you!

I don't have much time to read during the school year, so this year I'm challenging myself for 50 books. Right now I'm not sure I'll make it...
When do you people read so many books?!?!

I challenged myself to 75. I'm at 35 read so far. I get most of mine read through audiobooks. I can do other things while listening to a book. :) Saves my sanity.

Wow. I never understood how people can listen to audiobooks...
I just can't concentrate and I keep forgetting details from the story.
I also can't skip boring parts like I do sometimes when I read books XD

I started the book challenge in May and when school starts in August I won't have much time to read, so I decided to challenge myself to read 50 books. I'm hoping I will make my goal before the end of the summer. I'm at 37 read so far!

So far Ive only read 12 books out of 100. yikes

You still have time, you can do it! :)

Thanks Im trying a little harder

I've challenged myself to read 55 books this year and so far I'm at 29. School starts soon and I'm hoping that it won't hinder me too much.

I just started this month so I decided on 20, but I'll definitely pass that. I've already read 3 this week and started a 4th.

I'm two books off 100.

Decided to read the alphabet too (authors with surnames by every letter) and have got them all except U. Need to go hunting in the library. Did find one, but didn't much like the writing style.

I signed up for 114 but I have already read 91 so I may up my goal!

Last year I exceeded my challenge of 100 by reading 135. I didn't ever do the challenge before just cause I didn't notice the widget, but I'm glad I did cause it's interesting and I like looking at the stats.

I first set my challenge to 200 books, but then I got a job. Lol so I put it down to like 150 and I've read 44 books so far.

I started in July so i'm hoping from July to New Years I can do 100.

That sounds fun! I may read the alphabet next year :)

I only just joined the site, but I do read a lot, so I set the challenge to 100 just to see. It's probably a lot, but I wanted it to be actually challenging, and I figured it would be interesting to see how many I could get through before January!

52 is my set challenge so approximately one book a week. I've got up to 60 books up to date. I tend to do better when I set my goals low.

still going for 62 almost there

Wow, you all have such incredible goals and here I thought reading 3 or 4 a month was good! Awesome reading everyone. :)

can somebody tell me how to add books to my to that i read to my goal(not adding to my goal but so it shows i'm closer to my goal)Thanks :)

If you have added a book on your currently reading plank, you can click on "completed" in your progress tab! That way, it will be a part of your goal
