Can you believe it’s September already? Time to go back to school and lose all that reading time you had over the summer. I hope you found plenty of time to read and I hope all of you completed your summer reading challenge goal.
My goal was 50 books and I reached 50 with no time to spare. I blame some of the giant books I read over the summer. I re-read the whole Harry Potter series which took a little time and then I started reading the Outlander series which is pretty daunting. I’m just super happy I made it to my goal.

I completed my goal for Summer Reading! I hit 35 out of 35 books exactly. 😀 I had a blast with this challenge. Thanks for the giveaway!
my goal was like 20 i pretty sure i hit it i tryed to clean out most of my arcs on my netgalley list.
Nice! I need to clear out some of my Netgalley ARCs.
Yeah I hit my mark exactly too. No more, no less. Congrats!
My goal was 45 books and I read exactly 48 books. WOOT! WOOT!
Awesome! Congrats on reaching and exceeding your goal!
I exceeded my summer reading challenge! I was able to read 137 books since mid-May. Of course, my job as my mom’s caregiver gives me more time to read than I used to have. But, I still stay up all night reading most of the time!! Thanks for the giveaway chance!!
Holy crap that is amazing. Congrats to you. I don’t think I could have read that many books even if I had that much time to read. You are awesome!
I did not meet my goal! And sad to say I didn’t even take vacation! My company had too many things going on this summer to take a second of time for myself. Ugh…glad it’s over!
Such great and original giveaways, thanks so much!
I didn’t meet my goal. . . but to my defense I did have summer HW. I’m also not a blogger, but I do support commend you all!
support & commend **
I was thankfully able to finish my goal, and actually read 32 out of 30! Thank you so much for this, it really pushed me to read more than I probably would have. I still have three weeks of summer, since I go back to college then, so I will definitely utilize that time to read even more!
This was such a fun challenge! Thanks again! 🙂
That is awesome! I’m jealous you still have some summer break left. Hopefully you can get even more reading done!
I made a goal of 20 books and got to 18 – which is not disappointing to me at all seeing as how I’ve had lots of college and moved 900 miles from NY to TN. It’s just insane to me after the year I’ve had reading so far and getting so far behind all the books I wanted to finish. Thank you for hosting 🙂

I also set my goal at 50 books, and I thought I was going to make it. I was on such a roll, but sadly I fell a little short. I finished 43 books!
I hit my goal also…mine wasn’t as high as yours though(had to set it at 20 ) congrats…that’s an awesome achievement!!!
So thank you so much for doing this summer reading challenge! It was so fun and such a great way for me to stay on my reading goals! Originally, I didn’t know how crazy this summer was going to be, so I opted for a 15 book goal. I ended up with 22!!! I was so excited, and I read some great gems this summer! So thanks for putting up this challenge and hosting all the fun book giveaways! Do this next summer, because I will totally get on board with it!!
While my reading slowed a bit over the last 2 months, I had a surge this week so surpassed my goals.
I just made room on my shelves by donating to a local library sale.
My goal was 20 and I exceeded it and read 31 books! I’m pretty proud of that!
So… I did not complete or come near my summer reading goal at all. Finishing my credential program over the summer wiped reading from my pleasure list. I just wanted to sit around and veg out! lol Awful, I know, and I love reading. However, I did read Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars, and Pegasus Flame of Olympus. That list is dreadfully sad since I have countless books on my reading list. Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break are coming, I hope to tackle more books.
My goal was 20 books and I read 33! This is the first challenge where I’ve done well, even if I had to go back and add them to the correct challenge shelf :p
Aww what a sweet giveaway Katie! I did complete my goal for the summer, and read more than 30 books 🙂 I read 12 in August, which was awesome since I started working and thought I’d read way less. Thanks so much for the giveaway, and cheers to an awesome summer of great books (it’s not over, because I refuse to believe it’ll,that’ll work right?) ;P
I met and exceeded my goal. Thank you for doing this challenge, it pushed me to read much more than I would have. Knocked a lot of books of my TBR list.
Argh! Never mind. I apparently cannot follow directions. Disregard my entries.
I had a goal of 25 books and I read 27 so this summer was a success. I had so much fun with this challenge and would love to join again next year.
I was unable to finish my reading goal this summer due to school. I go year round and it got the best of me so not a lot of reading got done. I’m hoping to make that up once I finish school in 3 weeks (when I start my externship). I’ll just be working after that!
Never. Summer was too short this year and my list just kept growing.
My goal was 90 books and I read 115! Feel pretty good about that. 🙂
No, not even close.
my reading goal is for the year & so far, I’m 1 book ahead of schedule……….
I did! My goal was 15 books and I read 30! Blew that challenge out of the water – yea me!
I barely hit my goal.
I barely hit mine too but at least we made it!
I did not reach my goal. I set a goal of 50, but only got 42 read.
I’ve read a lot this summer, and some books that I would normally not read. Thanks for the giveaways!
I don’t remember if my goal was 50 or 75 or some other number, but I read 85 books according to my Summer Reading Program shelf on goodreads and 92 books total between May 1 and August 31 with re-reads! I’m going to say I met my goal!
Holy crap! That is awesome. You definitely met your goal. =)
I read over 100 books this summer! Definitely exceeded my goal!
I didn’t set an exact goal, but I definitely wish that I read more, especially now with school starting again. I miss all of the free time I had that I could have used reading!
I did complete my goal of reading 30 books this summer!
I set out a goal to read 25 and I read 28. I have a few reviews left to put up.
I wasn’t able to complete my summer goals. I actually lost track of how many books I’ve read haha I was practically busy with work and studying so I was lagging in that department.
One daughter did, one did not, and i did not, one daughter was ill
I completed my challenge. I am glad that I did. I challenged myself to read 30 books this summer and I completed with 38 read. I would have read more, but I had a very busy summer.
Thank you so much for having this challenge, it was a lot of fun! And also thanks for the giveaway!
I hope to do it again next year! 😀
My goal was to read 30 books and I unfortunately only complete 23…. 😛
I didn’t set a numerical goal, but I definitely read more this summer than any other summer, which makes me happy and accomplished nonetheless 🙂 Next year I’ll set a real goal and hope to meet it!
Ooops Sorry, please ignore my entries! I did have my own summer goal but didn’t know about signing up 🙁 maybe next year lol
I didn’t set a numerical goal, but I did get to catch up on all the new releases and books that I didn’t have time to read during the school year.
I completely failed my summer reading goal. I had intended on reading the 55 books on my TBR shelf at home…I read roughly 15 books, but of them, 5 of them I bought over the summer or received for something. I did read a couple of ebooks too, but they were not a part of my goal.
I never set a specific summer reading goal because I already read too much. I did manage to many new releases and reread a ton of books.
I just made my goal of around 50 books!!!!!
I completed my reading goal of 50 books over the summer!
Hi, I just read the rules. Sorry, ignore my entries.
I missed my goal of 20 by three 🙁
