I'm reading the 85th one. With school work this rate, I cannot maintain the same pace as in summer... Hopefully I'll finish the 100th book in time, but not 100% sure so.
(And I won't take part in 100 books in 2012... the quota surely affects my pace and choice of books.) |

I am at 89 for now -- with a bit of time around Christmas there shouldn't be any problems.

100 books is unattainable for me, but I have already passed the number I read last year.

I'm reading book #83 right now. I'll be a lot closer this month as I have a week off in a couple of weeks, which might bring me to about 90, give or take.

I haven't updated my online lists for awhile, but I am on my 52nd ebook/dead tree book and I am on my 47th audiobook. I went out of town this weekend and I have a nice 7+ hour drive each way, so I will finish the current audiobook this trip and will get a decent start on the next.

Not even close. I've just passed 50, though that's a lot more than I thought I'd have read by this point. Guess that's why I didn't officially participate in the challenge!

Hmmmm, since this year I'm still supreme ruler of the 2011 book reading
![]() Maybe next year I'll get around to reading H.G wells, and Mark Twains books that are generally shorter (200p) but most books I read this year are around 800 each. I'll try to work out how many pages I read this year, if anyone wants to join me I'll start a new thread for that. |

No. I mean, if I could sit and do nothing but read books for the next month...I'd make it. But, I don't think I could.
I've gotten over half-way there, though. So, I'm pleased enough with it. |

I'm reading book 109 now but I don't know how far I'll get since the busy time of the year is coming up for our store.
I've read several short(er) stories but I've also read several 700+ page book so I think I'll average over 200 pages a book. Next year I'm not doing the read X books/pages I'll just note down both pages and number of books to see how much I read in a normal year. This year I feel I read shorter books than I would normally read to make it to 100. |

Also - I'm basing everything on a lower milestone. I'm only at 51 now and I've had a pretty 'readerly' year. So I don't think 100 books is a reasonable basis for my challenge in the first place. |

I don't think I'll be taking the challenge next year either, as I have felt pressured this year, trying to rush on through a book rather than savour it, constantly checking my percentage progress. |
