This is the first year I've been part of this group, and I went a little crazy on signing up for challenges. I've had a lot of time to read in January, so I've way ahead of schedule for everything but the Listopia challenge. I may need to increase the number of books for some of these challenges!
I went crazy on challenges too! But you are off to a great start with 23 in jan! you will need to raise your target!
Meg wrote: "I went crazy on challenges too! But you are off to a great start with 23 in jan! you will need to raise your target!"I agree, Meg, although I'm going to wait awhile before raising my targets. I want to see how much reading time I have over the next few months first. My biggest goal is to get my TBR list down to a more reasonable amount (without deleting anything...). I've stopped adding books to it, which is sad to me, because it's soooooooo long.

This is amazing. I love all the statistics you keep. What a great way to keep track of what you are accomplishing. I may also steal your idea of the unlimited time challenge for the countries. That is a great way to diversify reading without it becoming a chore.
Thanks, Amy! Feel free to steal the challenge (because I stole it from someone else - don't remember who). I also stole the monthly statistics :-) I went so challenge-crazy this year that I needed a way to make sure I was on track. Otherwise, I had visions of me needing to read multiple books every day in December.. lol. I have a few yearly challenges that are almost done, so after that, I need to give more focus to the 50 states and the country challenge.

Congratulations on going way over your goal this year! What do you think motivated you to read more than you expected?
Cassandra wrote: "Congratulations on going way over your goal this year! What do you think motivated you to read more than you expected?"Well, I actually think that it was that I had too much time on my hands, and I didn't want to clean my house... lol. I love to read, and I really don't have other hobbies to occupy my time. I also went a little crazy on challenges, so that helped push me over my 110 book goal.
I set my 2016 goal at 140, and I'm actually hoping that I come closer to that number, rather than way over, which will indicate that I have more of a life outside of books :-)
That's true, it's good to have balance. I've found myself replacing other forms of entertainment (TV, movies, video games, etc.) with more reading this year, but I realize that I should probably branch out a bit so I have more to talk about with my friends. I don't have too many real-life book friends - thank goodness for Goodreads!
