Are you on Track - Page 2

KenFisher · 07-03-2011, 12:02 PM

I am behind by 6 books at the moment

. I always have trouble in the summer time reading. I hope to catch back up by the end of September, if I don't I do not think I will complete the challenge.

Although it's probably impolite to answer a poll with a poll:

I'm on track but last three weeks have been slow reading weeks. Just had knee replaced so sleeping a lot. Read quite a few shorter pieces count them as 1/2.

Depends on what track you mean. I'm not on a traintrack, for instance!

If you mean the "read 100 books a year" bit, I probably won't make it. Depending a bit on my holidays. The year is now half gone, so, theoretically, I should have read 50 books. I'm slightly behind that.

Tome Keeper · 07-04-2011, 05:13 AM

As I'm only counting books I read for pleasure, probably not.

EowynCarter · 07-04-2011, 05:26 AM

Definitivly not. Wheel of time, as well as a song of ice and fire, being so long, kills the stats.

Anyway, it's more to keep track of what i've read than anything else.

Tattncat · 07-05-2011, 11:31 AM

Don't know. I haven't counted them lately. I will have to go through my book journal and see. What the count is. I suspect I am pretty close to where I should be by now.

Btw..... How do I set up a nifty counter???

Just click on someone else's counter, and it will take you to the ticker factory site where you can set up your own.

Yes, I'm on track. I'm actually 19 books ahead if the Goodreads widget is doing its calculation correctly.

I forgot to keep count. I think I was ahead until I bought new computer. Now I might be slightly behind, but I don't know. Strangely, this seems entirely normal.

sakura-panda · 07-11-2011, 02:42 PM

I think I'm on track -- but maybe I'm not.

I won't read 100 books by the end of the year, but I'll be happy with 60 or 65 (and I think I'm on track for that.)

I knew that I would only get that far at the beginning, but I put 100 out there because that is what the challenge was and it was a nice round number. Besides, if I surpassed it, then where would I be in December?

HomeInMyShoes · 07-11-2011, 02:48 PM

I didnt' sign up, but I do keep track of what I read, but 100?

No way, not today, not tomorrow, not anyday.

I'm about 44 books behind.

bookwormfjl · 07-11-2011, 03:07 PM

I am actually ahead of schedule!

rdfry · 07-15-2011, 06:36 PM

Halfway there, behind but will catch up.
