Reading challenge update

It's September 2nd and I'm almost finished my 49th book for the year. I have about 100 pages left.

My reading goal for the year was 100.  With only 4 months left, I'm not so sure I can accomplish my goal.

I know it shouldn't be bout the numbers but the books I'm reading and to be honest, it's killing my reading fun a little bit.  Sure it make me read books I didn't want to read originally but it got my numbers up.  On the downside, a lot of the books I wanted to read this year haven't been read yet.  The size is part of the reason.  I also know that when I finally get around to them, I'll have the time to tilt enjoy them. 

I can put the challenge aside and get to them but damn I really want to complete the challenge.  Hopefully a few of the books at the top of my to be read list will show up on the 100 list. 

Part of the reason too is that some books put me in reading slumps and I don't usually read more than one or two books at a time.  Book slumps/ slow/ boring plot points are the worst!

Anyway, almost half way there is a big deal to me.
