Just so we're tracking 😀

Suzze Me neither. 8y
Cinfhen Just remember slow and steady wins the race 😘 8y
CocoReads I've finished just a few shorter ones. Mostly for #LitsyAtoZ but I started so many challenges, it'll be amazing if I finished them. 8y

Scurvygirl The year is young! 8y
Handmade_Redhead I haven't even started a book for my 2017 challenges! 8y
jpmcwisemorgan Same! 8y
LeahBergen Oh, #Bitsy. Tsk tsk. 😉 (edited) 8y
Jas16 Me too! 8y
sherryvdh My first one just came in at the library, so I'm going to start it once I finish what I'm reading now. I was feeling guilty, now I'm motivated. 8y
Suelizbeth I haven't either. I feel like a sluggardly reader since the new year began. Where is my motivation? 8y
wendim I'm still reading a book I started in 2016. 8y
tammysue Same here 8y
Bookzombie I haven't either! It's comforting to know I am not alone. 😁 8y
Magslhalliday Reading isn't a race. 😉 8y
Mlfoley012 Me either! 8y
bio_chem06 @LauraBeth I hit a reading slump in December and haven't picked backup. Although I'm constantly picking up a book, I'm not going through 100 pages at a sitting. I feel like such a slacker! 8y
Laura317 Well don't feel bad. I have yet to finish a book. I have 4 going, 5 if I count following your #redneckdonquixote storyline. Which I am most certainly counting! @LauraBeth 8y
sprainedbrain Same here! I am reading 4 different books, but haven't finished a darn thing yet. 😂 8y
Lmstraubie You'll get there - the year is still young! 8y
books_cats_art I finished one book, but it was SUPER short:
[tagged book]We Should All Be Feminists
8y
LeslieO I feel so much better. 8y
Wife Yep. Me too. 🙃 8y
Bookworm54 Me neither. I'm only aiming for 40 books this year so I'm still okay 👌🏻 8y
Kmmsellers Me too! 8y
TheJessWall Oh, good, it's not just me! 😄 8y
MeganAnn Me either! I'm also still reading a book I started in 2016 - which I refuse to count towards any 2017 reading challenge because I didn't start it in this year and because it's a reread. 😉 8y
EllieDottie I haven't either...... 😑 8y
annkuch13 Same here! Solidarity is nice, though! 8y
Suet624 It's all good. Deep breath. 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I'm 6 pages away! 8y
LauraBeth @Suzze we'll get there 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Cinfhen very true! 😽 8y
LauraBeth @CocoReads I was wrapping up a book that I started at the very end of December and I feel like I can't count it 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Scurvygirl very true! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Handmade_Redhead I'm sure that you will soon! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @jpmcwisemorgan solidarity 👍 8y
LauraBeth @LeahBergen it's probably all her fault! 🐶 8y
LauraBeth @Jas16 strength in numbers! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @sherryvdh no reason to feel guilty! 💕 8y
LauraBeth @Suelizbeth I'm sure you'll find your motivation soon! 😀💕 8y
LauraBeth @MrsBanks I know what you mean! I just finished a book that I started at the end of December so I feel like I can't count it towards any 2017 challenges 8y
LauraBeth @whatshesreadingnow see - we're not alone in this! 8y
LauraBeth @Bookzombie look at the people here you haven't either! You're not alone 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Magslhalliday very true! I've always been a back of the pack runner anyway 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Mlfoley012 we're not alone! 8y
LauraBeth @bio_chem06 I hope you hit your groove again soon! 😀💕 8y
LauraBeth @Laura317 you crack me up! 😂😂 8y
LauraBeth @sprainedbrain hopefully, we will soon! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @lmstraubie you're right - it's just started - I need to remember that! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @radishandhare but it's a good one! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @LeslieO we're all doing just fine - sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Wife this thread has made me feel better 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Bookworm54 that's a good goal to aim for 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Kmmsellers look at all of us "slackers" ? 8y
LauraBeth @TheJessWall well I definitely feel better after posting this 😀 8y
LauraBeth @MeganAnn I know what you mean! I just finished a book that I started at the end of December and I feel like I'd be cheating if I count it 😀 8y
LauraBeth @EllieDottie look at all of us who haven't! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @annkuch13 agree - solidarity is great! 😀 8y
LauraBeth @Suet624 deep breath! 😀💕 8y
LauraBeth @JanuarieTimewalker13 so close! Probably finished by now! 😀 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @LauraBeth Yes!! And it's a good feeling!!🌸 8y
BookNerdBritt Same here 🙋🏾😬 8y
jpmcwisemorgan @LauraBeth I'm in the same boat with a book I finished on the 1st. I'm saying I'm 4.5 books into my Goodreads challenge because Goodreads is counting it. I'm trying to be more accurate with start and end dates this year so I didn't want to put a different end date in. (edited) 8y
Magslhalliday @LauraBeth I'm a solo runner - can't run with a group at all! 😂 8y
PenguinInFlight Me neither. Started several...haven't gotten through any of them yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 8y
