How far along are you?

So far this year, I've read 47 books, so I guess I'm doing OK. We'll see if I can keep it up once class starts again!

I had read 43 so better than last year (thank goodness for quick reads and graphic novels). I find I go through patches of reading heavily and then weeks where I struggle to finish a book.

So far I've read only 25 books. Guess I'll not reach the 100 this year. Too much work, too less time to read.

I'm on 35. Erk. Guess I'd better pick up my game! (That's what some graphic novels in the fall are often for. ;)

As long as you are happy with your reading - the jlourney is more important than the destination!
I am on my 59th book but hope to read some really long books later this year.

I've hit 47, I think. I'm in decent shape to make it to 100, assuming life doesn't get in the way.

67 going on 70 (three near completion)... my goal was to surpass last years total, and to channel my reading just a bit. I should accomplish both thanks to a couple of the challenges I've undertaken (50 States, reading globally and the 11 in 11 challenge). As Torontoc says, it's more about the journey than it is the destination.

56 books so far this year.

I'm at 55 books read for the year; 6 of those are re-reads within the last 5 years (a category I'm trying to avoid), my goal is for 100 new or not-read-in-the-last-5-years books, so I guess I'm at 49 out of 100.

So far, 58 books. I have been working a lot less the past few months, so that has helped me get through more. And there have been some really good ones so far, so I'm looking forward to reading heaps more in the second half of this year!!

I've read 44 (only reviewed 40 so far!), so pretty much on track. Failing to actually read any of the chunksters I planned to read this year, however!

I'm WAY behind...only up to 33 thus far. I can't remember the last time I read under 100 in a year, but this year HAS been super busy for me, with no respite in sight. I have added projectes at work, am taking 6 hours of summer school classes, AND am moving into my new house next month.

I'm only at 28, so I have got to get busy! The good news is that it is summertime & I have the summer off, so hopefully I will be able to get lots read in the next couple of months:)
