I started August about 20 books behind to reach my goal of 100 books this year. I am now only 1 book behind. Caught up by reading/listening to a lot of shorter books, yet I still fit in Game of Thrones (book 1). Many of the books are things that have been in my library a long time. I think I might still have room for 1, possibly 2 doorstops, but most are in the 12-14 hour range for the rest of the year.
I am woefully behind in my short story reading and MAY make 100 this year. That's a long shot from the goal of one a day. Next year will be less crazy, but I'm thinking of just cutting it in half and making 150 as my goal next year. More achievable.
I've failed my budget goal of $300. I've spent about $350 this year on books/magazines/audiobooks, which while much less than the over $500 I did last year, is still going to be closer to $400 by the end of the year. I have read/listened to more of them though.
