Oh, I need to re-add my shelf for this.

Okay, I think I got 'em all. Still rebuilding my shelves so I'm not positive. ;)

Anna Wadlow (awadlow42) | 226 comments was wondering if all my books were counted...not sure I put them all in the right folder. Do I need to make a new folder?


message 12: by Gisela, Moderator (new)

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments No need, I just checked and your books are being counted. So go ahead and tag to your hearts content! :)


message 13: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yup. Looks great, Anna! Thanks! ☺


message 14: by Lara (new)

Lara | 2335 comments Sigh, I have increased my goal several times this year. Now I'm over it and am not sure what number to use for a new goal. I have passed 200 books, but am not sure how much additional reading I'll get in this year.


message 15: by Gisela, Moderator (new)

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Go with increments of 10 or 20 books. It's what I do!


message 16: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Lara, why not leave it where it is for now. Everything from here on in is icing on the cake. But next year, when you're trying to figure out what your goal should be, have a look at what your total ends up for this year and calculate from there.

Great idea. I think I'll go up 20 books. I'm not reading like I was earlier in the year--new job and responsibilities--but the holiday's will give me some extra time.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments We made our goal! Again!

I increased my goal several times this year too. I started out I think with 50, 75, 100,150 and then went up to 300. I just made my goal of 300 a few days ago and decided that I'm not increasing it any more. I'm just going to keep reading and see how many over 300 I read so I can set my goal accordingly for next year ☺

Wow!!! We are true bookworms around here LOL


message 22: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments 300??? Awesome Robin!

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments 300? Wow! That's amazing! I had my goal at 150 and met it last month. Next year I may go for 200


message 24: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) Robin, you are my hero :)
Seriously. How do you do it? And I thought my 150 books are a lot of reading in a year.


message 25: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Really, ♥Robin♥...CaroB is right...awesome.


message 26: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments I never saw this challenge until today. I was going to add all my books if you hadn't made the goal. Will keep an eye out for next years.


message 27: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Oh...we do need to decide on a goal for next year. Should be fun!

You can add them anyway, the total amount of books we read this year will be taken into account when setting the goal for next year!


message 29: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments Ok. I'll go see what shelf I need to create.


message 30: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments I made my tag 2012 and added about 160 books. I was pleased to see that I could batch add them from my Read list. However I apparently have a habit of not moving books from To-Read to Read when I rate them. I found about 15 or so that I did this and added them. But I'm still about 20 books short of what I actually read. I'll find them.


message 31: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yes, I noticed I do that sometimes, too, Mary. So, I start from "Recent Update" page and click on "Update Status" then "I'm finished" - and then found there was a period of time this year where even that didn't automatically transfer them over.


message 32: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments I just went through my To Read shelf and sorted it by last updated. I found a bunch there. I actually scrolled further and found several that I read last year that were still on my To-read shelf. A few weren't even rated. So my number for last year was higher than I thought.


message 33: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Well, that's good news. ☺


message 34: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Bonus!


message 35: by Catherine (new)

Catherine | 728 comments have all mine been counted? I don;t think so! I've got 100 so far :)


message 36: by Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator (last edited Dec 06, 2012 07:09PM) (new)

Phoenix (Online Elf) | 4358 comments I think we clocked you at 99 last week, Miss Catherine. For the Sunday Update.


message 37: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 752 comments I've added 202 at this point.


message 38: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Thanks, Mary!
