I'm doing appallingly badly at reducing my TBR, which was my main goal for the year, but pretty well on my other sub-challenges, and much better than I imagined on my total book count.

I've reduced my TBR by, uh, -121, but I have already read 50 works, which is something I didn't really expect to achieve this year. Yes, a fair chunk of them are short stories, novelettes and novellas from the Hugo packet, which I also read but didn't count last year (I was only counting books last time, but this time I'm counting anything that's listed separately on my TBR) but I think I'm still ahead of where I expected to be in terms of the volume read.

If only I hadn't developed this second-hand pbook problem. Well, I say problem, it's more of a fun hobby.
