150 books for me this year, down from last year but life can get busy even in retirement.
3 Down, 72 More To Go!
I had my first real year of reading last year(at the grand old age of 49) and so set myself a challenge of 12 books. One a month I thought would be reasonable as I had never read before on a consistent basis.I ended up with a total of 34 or 35 books i think.
So this year I have doubled last years target to 24. My thinking was, last year might be first year enthusiasm so setting a target of mid 30s might be too much.
Having said that I`m already 4 books through my challenge this year and 1/2 way through my 5th.
I just finished the 15th of my 190 books goal, Adrian. I'm 3 books ahead of schedule compared to this time last year. :)
Wow that's nearly a book a day Amber! Impressive.
She doesn't have a tv or internet access at home, Adrian.
Even if I did, I'd probably still read a lot. TV would just be on as background noise.
Oh, I have a tv and read a lot too... but you can read even more without it.
I have set my target a little lower than last year. I had my right leg in a cast for 3 months and was able to read more, but be assured, I will be reading as many as I am able. I must try to reduce the number I have waiting to be read.
You could always break your other leg to put your reading up.
My wife would not support your idea even though it is a "good" one
100 books is the plan for this year. I think I can make it because I am re-reading some YA books and those books are short reads.

At the end of Month one I have read 7/100
I went for one a week so started with the same challenge of 50 but after managing that in 8 months last year hoping to reset it to 60 at my half year review. 3 ahead of target so far...
I set my Goodreads challenge to 150 books! I've read 27 so far.
In 2016, my goal was 82 and ended the year with 91. So, increasing to 100 for 2017.
21 down and 29 to go. Currently reading books 22 and 23.
Currently reading books 25 and 26, so 24 down 26 to go.
