I didn't have one, so I'm doing pretty good.

I don't have a goal for this year but so far I've read 680 ebooks, including approximately 100 short stories and novellas. I didn't keep track of DTB's but only 10 or so.

I've reached my goal but am trying to finish up a few series before starting next year's challenge. Can't wait!
And GeckoFriend - 680! WOW! |

No goal for me this year. But I read about 50 books (I am too lazy to look up the number right now...). I haven't read that much since... I don't know. I think it must be more than 10 years ago!

I chose that I'm coming down the home stretch, though in a way I'm already passed the finish line, and in another way I probably won't reach the finish line.
I've passed my page count and number of books goal, and that was really the meat of my 2012 goal. But I also made a 2012 TBR list that was meant to be symbiotic with the page count goal but didn't quite work out that way. So I still have about five titles left to read. |

I failed. I revised to 25 books and I will make 26 or 27. Ugh.

I didn't have a specific goal, just to enjoy myself reading. I'm about to finish the 85th book of the year, so in that regard it's a new record for me.

Goals? We don't need no stinking goals.
Not having one... I expect to nail it precisely. ![]() |

I have 19 books to go - which according to the poll is "just around the corner" but which I think is "go on without me".
19 books in 2 weeks? An average book takes me about 8 hours (which is not fast but not super-slow either) so: 19 * 8 = 152 13 days to go so: 152 / 13 = 11.69 12 hours a day reading is "just around the corner"? Someone's either a much much faster reader or has nothing but free time (and insomnia). ![]() |

52/50 for books, with at least two more likely.
I am only at 15/20 for graphic novels, though, which is looking a bit shaky. |

I have 319 ebooks on my TBR pile, and I was aiming at sub-300. So I'm not going to make it this year.
