I'm solidly on track to break 150 books read this year. I'm 71% of the way through my current novel, which I should finish tonight. That'll leave me with 133 books finished this year, giving me 17 to get through in just over two months. That shouldn't pose a problem, and I'm reasonably confident that I can break last year's count of 155. In fact, I wouldn't be terribly shocked to end up somewhere between 165-170 for the year, assuming I don't switch over to catching up on movies.

As for my other 2013 reading challenge, which was to read a dozen books that've been on my shelves for at least a year, that's a little more complicated. That challenge involved naming the 12 books in advance, plus three alternates. I didn't differentiate, simply putting 15 books on that list, of which I've read 13. So, although the list hasn't been exhausted, the challenge has been met. (Besides, those other two books are Right Here - they just haven't called to me yet.) I've also read several other "dusty" books, so I feel justified in saying I've met the spirit of the challenge, too.
