Personal reading goals - 2014

[Megan]

I'm only going to set a small goal this year as I'm still studying and working full time - This year I aim to read 35 books

Progress 0/35

[Marjory]

Wow, that's a lot. I will try for 24. Two a month. I should probably be able to do that. I used to read like crazy, and then for some reason I stopped. I think it was because I couldn't find something good. But GR has helped with that.

[Megan]

Well I'll try to set up some reading challenges that might encourage you to pick up a few more books. but that's still a reasonable goal

[Marjory]

Sounds good.

[Inkeri]

I'm planning to read 50 books this year, which is a lot for me. I've been trying to complete the 50/50 challenge, where you read 50 books and watch 50 movies in a year, for two years now, but I've failed to read 50 books each time. I've decided that 2014 is going to be the year when I finally complete the challenge.

Progress: 4/50

[Megan]

That is a cool challenge. Good luck,

[Jennifer (The Nightly Book Owl)]

Hmm... I'm going to try for 75 books! Hopefully, I will be able to do it.

Progress: 0/75

[Marjory]

How do you put your progress on here?

Are you using the web or an app? it might make a difference...but on the web you just type the html that makes bold type, and type in what you want in bold...on the web, just above the comment box it says (some html is ok) if you click on this it explains how to do certain codes to make italic or bold text etc.

[Marjory]

Makes sense. I'm using an app on the iPad. Can do my updates on the computer.

[Marjory]

Thank you!

[Megan]

to type bold you put < b > what you want to write < / b > without the spaces try that, it should work off your ipad still

Great goals everyone. This year my goal was 80 and I read 86 however a lot was for review and I didn't really read much off my shelves. 2014 I am cutting back on reviews and blogging, reading challenges etc and just reading more off my shelves for enjoyment and participating in only a few groups here on GR. So, I am setting my goal for 52 (a book a week)

[Marjory]

Wow, you guys are making my goals look low. I guess I should pick up the pace and stop watching movies. :)

[Inkeri]

Don't stop watching movies! :) I was just thinking how I should get more caught up with some movies before the Oscar season takes off again.

[Jennifer (The Nightly Book Owl)]

Same here! It's hard to balance out books, movies, AND Tv shows! It's difficult to keep up with everything!

[Marjory]

Changing my goal, I'm going to try for 35 this year.

You'll be able to do it ;)

[Marjory]

I think so too. I used to read all the time, but stop finding anything good. You guys are inspiring me to get back into it and I forgot how relaxing and enjoying it is.

[Megan]

Yay!!

[Marjory]

PROGRESS 1/35

[Inkeri]

Yay Marjory! I just finished my second book of the year. I'm in a reading-frenzy right now and can't get enough! I'm excited to start my next adventure with another book. :D

Me too, totally got back into it. I am just about to finish my second book also. I have a couple sitting by my nightstand waiting to go.

[Sharon]

My goal this year is 100. Fingers crossed :)

[Inkeri]

I've done 3/50. We're all doing so great! :)

[Megan]

Progress 3/35
but with 3 partially read, on track to reach my goal

[Marjory]

Progress 5/35. Probably should set a higher goal.

[Inkeri]

Progress: 4/50.

Marjory, yes you should. With your speed you'll finish 50 books in a year with no extra effort at all! :)

[Megan]

I can't believe how fast you are all reading. I'm a bit jealous. I think I need a few good hours straight of reading :)

Progress 6/60

[MaryKatherine]

Hey everyone! I'm aiming to read 50 books this year, but that has been my goal in past years and I seem to have to adjust my goal in November or December.... I've only finished 2 books of the 50 so far, but I'm hoping to get a bit more caught up soon! I'm looking to work on some of the reading challenges in this group :)
