Trevor (sundowner) | 56 comments I've floated in and out of challenges over the years, the only one I've ever really stuck to is the Goodreads one. 2019 will be no different but I would like to finish The Coyote Universe by Allen Steele, I'm on #4.5 of 8.
Then I'd really like to read all the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov. I've read the original trilogy a couple of times but I now have all the other Foundation books and I really should get on with them.

Andrea Wright | 44 comments I too have tried many challenges, but only ever focus on the Goodreads one. It took a few years to work myself up to 50 a year and I aimed low at 35 this year thinking I would have a hard time hitting my goal with a baby that keeps me from reading like normal. Pleased to say that I got up to 42, although a few were kids books that I just wanted to take note of. Ready to aim for 50 again now that she is toddling and I have a bit more time to read! I have not read any Isaac Asimov...yet.

Niffer (acequimby) I've been doing this challenge for the last few years. I designed it in an attempt to be flexible for different levels of readers.

I'm setting my challenge at 52 again. I know I've reached that nearly every time I've set it but I always feel 1 book a week is a good target. I also read quite a few short stories and although Goodreads includes them, I tend to not count them and it often rounds down to around 50 full books.

Looks interesting but not sure I could be that strict with myself.
