Many of you know what this is above if you are on Goodreads.  This is Goodreads challenge widget.  You decide how many books you read for the year and this keeps track.  So far I am 31 books behind my schedule.  I didn’t make last years by almost 20 but I going to keep trying.   I don’t really win anything in the end just the satisfaction of finish each book.  You know that feeling right especially one that was good.  You feel good about it but you wish it was over or it had a sequel.

So I am curious after I finish a book I usually feel a little like I accomplished something.  Is that what you feel when you finish a book good or bad?

What is your reading goal for this year? Are you behind or on target?

I didn't set a numbers goal, but I do track the numbers and I'm ahead of last year already.

I have one DNF for the year...so far. That doesn't happen too often.

Here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST

I use the GoodReads challenge, too! My goal is to read 90 books this year, and I'm tracking well with that - I usually cheat and set my goal pretty low at the start and then increase it only if it seems like I am ahead of schedule.

I definitely feel accomplished when I finish a book, too! I can't even tell you how accomplished I'll feel when I finally finish A Suitable Boy!
