2015 Reading Goals!

[These Violent Delights]

I know this is a little early but.. I decided to post this anyways.


So I was going through my TBR shelves on Goodreads and realizing that I have thousands of books on there.. and it is just scary to think about.

So since I have read way more books this year(2014) than my goal of 80 books.

I decided to up the anty for next year and set my goal for 150 books.

Have any of you decided on what your 2015 Reading Goal will be?
Are you still undecided as to how many you want to read next year?
Any spoilers to what you plan to read next year?

[Jessica]

I'm thinking in the 200s. I not exactly sure on the exact number though.

Some books I want to read are:


Etc..

[These Violent Delights]

Jess! I read a while ago and loved it when I read it!

Great choices so far! How many books have you read so far this year? That's a high goal for next year!

[Jessica]

So far I've read 199 books. I'm obviously still going to read more that's why I decided to put my goal in the 200s.

I have heard really great things about the book Drink,Slay,Love. So I'm super excited to read it.

[These Violent Delights]

Some of my definite reads next year:

[Jessica]

I can't wait for Tiger's Dream to come out. I love the Tigers Curse saga. Tiger's Voyage was my favorite in the series plus it kinda felt that the series was done in Tiger's Destiny so I was super confused and excited when I found out about Tiger's Dream.

YESSSS! I adore The Tiger Saga too! Tiger's Voyage was also my favorite of the series. Have you read Tiger's Promise (The Tiger Saga, #.5) ? There's a chapter or so of Tiger's Dream in it and it helps to understand why there's going to be another book.

I felt like it ended pretty nicely in Tiger's Destiny too (well nice enough lol).

[Jessica]

No, I haven't read Tigers Promise yet. :(

The ending did end nicely. I just wish that they didn't have to (view spoiler)[leave Kishan in the past but I guess it did have to happen plus he got his own happy ending. <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[These Violent Delights]

You really should!

(view spoiler)[ yeah.. I did kind of cry because they had to leave him behind.. thought it was totally unfair but he did get his happy ending in a way :) I was totally Team Kishan because I love bad boys but I am glad Kelsey ended up with Ren (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

I'm glad she ended up with him too. xD


Did you know theres Fanfiction where Kelsey ends up with Anik Kadam instead. :) (I don't know if I spelled his name right.)

I don't really remember but I think he was. In the fanfics they wrote him as handsome. I actually liked them though they were pretty good.

[These Violent Delights]

Hmm, may have to check them out :) Are you excited for the Tiger's Curse Adaptation

[Jessica]

I'm also really looking forward to
Colleen Houck is now one of my favorite authors so I'm 100% positive that it should be an amazing book. The summary is already sounding awesome.

[Jessica]

Robin wrote: "Hmm, may have to check them out :) Are you excited for the Tiger's Curse Adaptation"

Yeah, even though half the time they don't even adapt the books into movies good I really looking forward to it. I think I'll have to love the movie because I love the book too much too not to.

[These Violent Delights]

Haha, I know.. that's how I felt when watching THG but eventually I liked THG movie after watching it quite a few times.

Yeah, I'm really excited for Reawakened too!! anything by Mrs. Houck is definitely going to be off the charts awesome :)

[Audryaunna]

My Goal this year was 150 books. I was surprised that I was able to pass that goal. I bumped it up to 200 books. I am hoping I can still reach my goal of 200. I reaching for a goal 250 next year 250. I know that is a lot, but I am hoping I can accomplish it. :)

[Sophie]

This year my goal was 50 books and so far I've read 83 I think. I'm still not sure about next year, it will be something upwards of 80, I'm thinking maybe 90. :)

[Audryaunna]

Oh shoot, I think I misinterpreted the goal. I was giving you my whole goal. I do read a lot of children's book. For YA books alone I am hoping for a goal of 100. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. :)

[Sophie]

I didn't do YA either. I don't have a specific goal for just YA. :)

[Irene]

My main goal is to get down to 100 unread books on my shelves - that should be hard enough as it is, since I have over 200 right now, and even if I don't buy any books, I still get some from publishers and authors (not that I complain though). So I guess I'll go for 150 in the 2015 goodreads challenge - and at least 100 pages/day in average (shouldn't be a problem).

[Tammie]

i would like to try for 80 this year

[Daisy]

My goal this year was 36 and so far I think I'm 83 or something so next year I'm thinking 50 or 60, because I'm not sure if I'll be able to do as well as this year...

Good luck for everyone with their challenges! Some of you guys have got some seriously high goals, I don't know how 200 is even possible, lol.

[Erin Lynn]

Well... based on what I've read so far this year, I am going to go for one hundred books or more.

[Megan]

My goal this year was 75 and I have read 94 so far. I think I may up it to 85 or may even be extremely ambitious and aim for 100.

For those who have done the goodreads challenge for a couple of years I have a question and don't know where else to ask. If I reread a book next year that I have read this year will it be counted to my 2015 goal if I change the dates read? Will it stay in my 2014 goal as well? This was my first year of being on goodreads so I don't really know how the reading challenge works for more than one year. Thanks!

[These Violent Delights]

@Megan. I think that the book you reread will count as long as you change the date read.

To be honest, I've never reread a book since joining Goodreads..

If you change the date read, it will remove it from any past challenges to add it to the most current yearly challenge. Goodreads really needs to add a re-read feature so we can count them again.

[Megan]

Thanks, Robin and Erin! I figured that would happen, but I wasn't for sure. I have to reread books because I am a lot like Dory, especially any more lol. I can't remember everything that happens in some books even though I haven't read them very long ago. :)

[Audra]

Some books I will read next year:






Any other suggestions?

You're welcome!

I know what you mean. I keep wanting to re-read books because I've forgotten a few things about them, but I keep getting distracted by all the new books that keep coming out.

[bookcover:The Hunger ..."

I really like The Mara Dyer Trilogy. I haven't read the third book yet because I have it on e-book and am trying to wait until the first of the year to read my e-books.

I do that too, or I end up buying more books from book sales. I can't stay away from them lol.

[Sandra]

I think I'll go for 175 or 200 in 2015.
My goal this year is 150, I've read 147 already, almost done with 148. That means by the end of this week I'll complete my challenge and there will be 4 weeks of the year remaining.

[Nila]

Probably twenty, that's alot less than most of you guys lol

Next year i'm going to read

[Mjkluio789]

I would like to read 100 books in 2015. I'm not sure how many I read this year but it wasn't as much as I would have liked. Hope next year is better.
Any great books to recommend?

[Carolyn]

I finished 150 books in 2014 so my goal for 2015 is to read at least 200 books!

Great job on accomplishing your Goodreads goal this year Carolyn! I plan on reading 150 books this year myself, and you give me hope that this isn't an impossible feat. Goodluck on your 2015 goal of 200 books!

[Carolyn]

You can do it!! I had some weeks where I knocked out 4 or 5 books and others where I didn't even finish one. It is possible :)

[Janessa]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the group. 2014 was the first time I committed to the reading challenge and I got so into it once I realized the year was almost over. My goal was small, 15 books, but I made it. I am actually on my 17th book right now. Im thinking of making my goal 30 books for 2015. I'm excited to be a part of this group :)

I know you can do it! Congrats on completing your 2014 reading goal! Hope you enjoy this group!

[Sophie]

I've thought some more about my reading goals for 2015. I want to read 75 books which will be a challenge but hopefully not too diffucult. I also want to focus on reading books off my to-read list (particuarly my YA to-reads) and read more classics (possibly try for at least one a month).

[Erin Lynn]

I'm setting mine for 75.

My original goal for 2014 was 50 and I upped it after I completed it. I'll probably do the same in 2015.

[Rene']

for 2015 my goal is 150.

[Erin Lynn]

I've read 133 this year, so maybe I'll go for 90 at first. I'm not sure...

[Rebecca]

I read 26 books this year. My goal for this year is 50 books. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but with being a full time teacher with a toddler, I think it's a good, manageable goal.

[Pam]

My goal for 2014 was 50, I know it isn't much but balancing books with university I'm happy I reached my goal!
For 2015 I will probably go for 70-75 books and aiming for more classics...

[[deleted user]]

My goal this year is 100 books, and to read ones that have been on my shelves for a while now, I also plan to go to the bookstore once a month and buy 1-2 books

[Erin Lynn]

I went with 75. I'll probably end up bumping it up once I reach that.

[Andrea]

Last year my goal was 85, and now this year my goal is 100 books, hope I can make it

[Nikita]

My goal is to read 50 books. Among those books I plan to read:
