My status at the 2/3 mark:

Reduce TBR - I am 2 books ahead of my TBR, having had a bit of a wobble after a great start.

Reduce paper TBR by at least 7 - I am 6 ahead right now, and feel I am likely to achieve this target.

Sub-challenges:

1. BSFA Award - I've read 3 with a target of 6. Slipping slightly behind, and a couple of the ones I was expecting to read for other challenges have been pre-empted. Still, it's a fairly low target, so I should be OK.

2. Short Story a Day - I haven't missed a single day so far this year.

3. 50 Years of SF - This is ongoing, so I can't really fail it. I've currently read up to 1981. I sort of had in mind that I wanted to reach the end of the 80s this year, but I doubt I will make that, now.

Other challenges not listed on MR:

SF/F Series A-Z (Started last year) - 24/26 - I have X and Z left. I have a book for X, but not Z, and none of the choices for Z really call out to me, but I guess I'll manage this.

Tie-in Fiction - 5/6 - Reduced target when I got a bit fed up of it, so I'm not sure that's an unqualified success.

Reddit Fantasy Bingo (April-March) - 16/25 - Should be OK.
