I'm at 40 books for the year, though admitted some are novellas/short stories. I feel like I'm behind for the year, but Goodreads says I'm 6 books ahead of schedule. I'm really finding it hard to finish the Ultimate Reading Challenge. It's making me dread the next book if I can't fit it in any of my remaining categories. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish it, but I'll try. I have seven categories left.

I traveled a lot in August so I only read two: the Einstein Prophesy (kindle first) and Queen of Shadows. I also started Young Babylon (another kindle first) but I gave up.
I set a soft goal of one per week. I haven't counted how many weeks are left, but I'm sure I'm way behind. I need some serious fluff to catch up!
