Some of you bloggers amaze me with how you keep updates posted. Not only am I too disorganized, but I'm extremely flaky. To remedy this, I am taking a stab at making a blog schedule. No promises on how long this will last though. I've never been consistent, so we'll see.

You're really not that far behind schedule. Even if you don't make it, you're going to be damn close! You've already close to twice as many books as I'll done for the whole year! So, my opinion...you're kicking butt!
I've never done a reading challenge. Seems like a lot of work and pressure that I would put on myself. They sound like a lot of fun though. Maybe once I don't have my little stack of ARC's. I'm sure I have enough books in my TBR pile to make them work for some sort of challenge!!
You doing great on this challenge J. Kaye. I'm only on 122! I guess since I didn't set a specific number after 100 then I am doing ok LOL! I'm not doing as well on my other challenges, especially my TBR challenge. That figures, that is the challenge I really needed to tackle.
I am not in any challenges right now but hope to join more next year
wow. you are doing great. I am only trying for 100 and have only read 58. I am way behind.
wow jkaye, thats impressive!
i'm in the early 50's with this challenge.

My goodness! The pace that I read would never let me sign up for this kind of reading challenge. You are doing great. Cindi
you are a reading machine!!! way to go!
Wow. That is a ton of books.
You're doing great.
Even if you don't reach 200 you've still read a heck of a lot more than most of us!
I know it's a bummer not to meet a goal though.
Debi ~ I really am. There is no way I can read that many books before the 1st. Also, there is no way I'll be doing this again in 2009.
Alea & Cheryl ~ For a year, I refused...guess you can see I turned to the dark side...lol!
Icedream ~ I think I just finished my tbr challenge.
Mari, Naida & Cindi ~ If it weren't for audios, I couldn't get so many done. :)
Sleeping with Ward Cleaver & Shana ~ I have reading friends that put me to shame. They are like in the 250+ range now. :( If only...but my eyeballs would fall out. I am sure of it.
