I always set the same goal of 52. Apparently, I'm quite behind at the moment. I've only read 10 so far... or at least only tracked 10. My memory is awful, so I just have to rely on that. It feels like more though. LOL. I am in the middle of 4 books at the moment, so at least that will bump me up a little, but I'll still be behind. :dizzy

What about you? Where are you at in your mid-year reading goal?
 
I set a goal this year of 24 books. I'm at 18 so far! I haven't read much over the past few years so it feels good. I have been listening to a ton of books off my phone. But I have actually read a few.
 
I'm at 25 of my 24 book goal for the year so I'm ahead. I love that I'm back to doing something I love!
 
I'm over track. I usually manage three books a week riding the train - this year I've added reading instead of television in the evenings so I'm in the 108 book this year.
 
We must have all gotten the same email. My Goodreads email asked me if I need a boost? Lol! I'm at 15 of 40 this year. It's pretty normal for me to hit a slump in the summer because I'm outside doing more with my family in the summer. In the fall and winter I always burrow inside and read tons more. Plus I'm ready the Goldfinch which is REALLY long and I've gotten bored with it lately, so I only read a few pages before I fall asleep.
 
I'm currently ahead by 4 - 30 of 50 books. I read a few shorter novellas that always make me feel like I'm cheating when they count against my goal. But, to counteract that, I'm currently reading the Goldfinch, which is almost 800 pages and will probably take me another week to finish (I think I'm a little over half way through).

I started this almost 2 weeks ago. I'm about half-way through and still enjoying it though.
 
My goal for this year was 180 BUT I´m not sure if it´s possible anymore...
(You have read 114 of 180 books)
 
To be honest, I don't keep track, I admire those of you who are that organized. I'm always too anxious to start on something new to bother with taking the time to write about what I've just read. A couple of people have given me gifts of those journals for keeping track of your books read and I've never used them. I always read one book a month for book club and usually manage to fit in 2-3 more in between our book club selections.
 
I don't know how you guys do it...3 books on the go at the same time? gosh, I can hardly keep up with one LOL
I don't set goals anymore because I don't want to be disappointed, it generates a lot of negativity and in the days am low...is another reason to be low LOL
so, everything that happens in my life these days is a bonus when I accomplish :)
I'm already on page 160something of the Girl in the Train, and that in two weeks...for me at the moment is quiet a lot :)
