message 101: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1 comments Last year I came close to 100, I actually read 92. But I'm also cutting my list in half this year to prioritize my goals of spending more time with my children and husband. I can deal with only one book a week...I think! lol


message 102: by Gigi (new)

Gigi staub (gigis) | 2 comments I set my goal to 200 again this year, last year I had the same goal and ended up at over 250.


message 103: by Doe965 (new)

Doe965 I am setting my goal of 100 adding more business books.


message 104: by Melody (new)

Melody  May (What I'm Reading) (belle_93436) | 8 comments I have decided to set my goal to be 300.


message 105: by Talya (new)

Talya | 1 comments I hope to get 60 completed in 2014, with at least 15 of those Historical Romance.


message 106: by Jennie (new)

Jennie  Coull | 3 comments ok I have a new goal, I still want to read 100 books but I will re-look at that number in June and I might up it a bit, but I also want to broaden my horizons. I want to branch out of my norm,

I think that's a great idea Coull! :) I'm actually going to put up a re-evaluation post in June to remind everyone to check their goals.


message 108: by Jane (new)

Jane Hunt (goodreadscomjolliffe) Hi hope to read at least100 this year.Read 2 so far.98 and counting...


message 109: by Julie (new)

Julie (julesrules46) | 6 comments My goal is to read 50 books for 2014. I read 73 for 2013. I am definitely not a power reader, sometimes I wish I was and others not so much. I probably wouldn't be able to remember what I read.


message 110: by Cataluna6 (new)

Cataluna6 | 2 comments I've set my goodreads challenge at 50, although on LT it's 75, ( which was the amount I read in 2013). I want to read at least 12 from each of my 1001 lists (adults & kids). And I want to read at least 20 of my own books, as I need to get my Mt. TBR down.


message 111: by Doll_Lil (new)

Doll_Lil | 5 comments I am going to try to do 50. I am going for less this year. I read well over 100 books last year and in order to write and actually finish three manuscripts I have been slowly writing I have to cut back on reading. It’s going to be very hard. :(


message 112: by Erica (new)

Erica (ericaleigh11) My goal for 2014 is 150 books. Last year I almost made it back up to 100 and that's really just the 6 months I wasn't in school. I like that on your Goodreads home page you can see our progress, I think for me it keeps me motivated.

I love that too Erica! I'm big on gold stars and crossing things off, so the progress bar drives me big time.


message 114: by Abida (new)

Abida Mim | 2 comments My goal


message 115: by Abida (new)

Abida Mim | 2 comments My goal is 300, so about 1 book a day.


message 116: by Morgan (new)

Morgan Wyatt | 2 comments I hope to finish all seven of my to be reviewed books by April. It is a must. I have to quit reading the side books to finish the MUST books. Ari, you're a better reader than I am!


message 117: by Julie (last edited Apr 11, 2014 07:27PM) (new)

Julie (julesrules46) | 6 comments My goal is 75 books, so far I have read 32. Last year I read 73. Although I started the Reading Challenge late last year. (May) I might have to increase it as I get closer to my goal. I wish I could read faster, but I don't think I would enjoy the books as much if I did.

So we're about halfway through the year and I'm all about re-evaluating goals to make sure they're right. So if anyone wants to change their goal for the challenge, feel free to do so. Reading (or not being able to read enough) shouldn't make anyone feel bad. So if you over-reached, feel free to change! And if you under-called it and want to grab for a little more, you can do that too!

As for me, I'll stick to my original 50 because even though I'm ahead of my goal, I know that the next few months are going to be crazy with book releases and travel and I don't want to beat myself up if reading gets pushed aside for a few weeks here and there (like it has recently).

Fabiola Chenet (fabiola_chenet) | 178 comments I know I will have to expand my goal: 80 instead of 50

message 122: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 1 comments My Goal is to read 30 books. I will read at least 12 with book club so the rest are up to me.


message 123: by Melody (new)

Melody  May (What I'm Reading) (belle_93436) | 8 comments I was little worry about my goal, but I'm still staying ahead of the game. I'm almost at 50% of my book goal.
