2020 Goodreads Reading Challenge

It’s a new year and time for a new Goodreads challenge!

Are you participating this year?
How many books for your goal?
Do you have a list of TBR you’re going to follow or will you pick a book as you go?

[warhawke, The Dark One]

My goal is 110 books. I have more of a monthly TBR, instead of one long list. I usually like to cover new releases first and if I have time, something older that I feel like reading.

This year, I increase the number to 50. Another challenge for myself as 30 books last year is achieved. If I got more, it would be a proud of myself. And the books were the piles that I bought last year. Of course there are more to come along the way.

My goal for this year would be 200, less than last year since I can tell this year would be a challenging year for me to read as many books as I did last year. That and I plan to read more YA fantasy and hyped-up books that I never want to pick up before.

[Henk]

I'll set 52 again, even though I didn't make it the past few years.

>>> I don't usually buy unless I know I will read it, so I'm more free to choose what I want to read instead of reading the pile lol!

Setting 255 for this year cause that's coincidentally going to lead me to 1000 books read 🤭 (Manga doesn't count... Does it?!)

I managed to exceed my goal of 15 by 3. This year my target is 30.
Question: how does one add a book read to the challenge if that book is not on Goodreads? I had this problem last year.

You can add it yourself.
Go to the author profile > Books > Scroll down, at the bottom there's an option to add more book.
It will take you to a new book page, so you just fill up as much info as you have.

If the author doesn't have a GR profile, you can still add the same way. Just change the author name.
You can get book info from purchase site and just copy/paste the info on the GR page. But once you create, you can't edit unless you're GR librarian, so make sure the info are correct.

If there's any librarian here, they will be able to help you. Alternatively, you can ask GR librarian to help add from librarian group

My goal would be 30 this year. Last year I targeted for 25 and I exceeded the number (yay!) ...I kinda have a list of TBR but normally I pick a book that I feel like reading... So go with the flow :)

12 books for me. I have finished 3 already. I need to clean off the list on my 'currently reading' list XD

A pathetic 29/52 score for me this year. WFH doesn't let me grab books much, I think since I associate reading with commuting nowadays. Hopefully a more bookish 2021
