How many books are you planning to read in 2015?

[Holly, That Geeky One]

This is it! The big question! Many of you have done amazingly well with your 2014 goals!

The question is: are you going to change your goal? Did you struggle and want to lessen it? Did you find it a breeze and am going to boost up and really challenge yourself next year?

How many do you dare commit to?

[caitlin;]

I'm attempting to get 50. Hopefully should be able to. Have to read between 4 - 5 books each month :)

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

I'm gonna stick with a 100 book goal. Last year I was book starved so I went a little crazy. If I'm getting close to the 100 mark I'll up it to 120. But 100 books seems like a good goal for now.

[Pepperpots]

I see some people who have set goals to read 200 books! I was struggling to read 100 and so I lowered it to 50. This allowed me to enjoy reading rather than be concerned about my total. This year I want to do more challenges and join in groups read etc so I won't see a specific total.

[Heather]

I'm not the quickest of readers - I like to think I savour every word! In 2014 I set a goal of 20 which I upped in about September and so far have managed 30...

I'm not going to over stretch and get disheartened so my goal for 2015 is 40 books!

[Kathryn]

I originally said 150, but upped to 200 since I was close to my target in like June or july

[Holly, That Geeky One]

I'm going to go for 100 again in 2015, because it's a nice round number, and it's stretched me enough this year! :D

[Tracey]

Having managed 113 so far this year, I told myself 75 so that I give myself some time to read larger books next year.

[CaptKirk42 Classic Whovian]

I'm sticking with my 20 like I did this year (2014). I made and surpassed that goal with 24 books this year so far. I'm about halfway through book 25 and might finish one or two beyond that.

I might try raising the bar a little and make it 25. This year I have had plenty of reading time, I don't know if next year will offer as much time or not.

[Becca]

I set my 2015 goal at 175 since I should go over 160 for this year. However, the goal is not something I stress over.

[megan]

My goal for the year is 75. Subject to change based on how often and where I end up traveling for work. Plane hopping from continent to continent allows for lots of book time!

[Erica]

I am planning on reading 100. Although, I would love to read more.

[Stephanie]

My goal for year 2015 is to read 150 books.

[Katie]

My goal for the upcoming year is 50 books. :)

[Melissa]

I'm committing to 150, but 50 are children's books. We'll see, this might be a busy year for me too.

[Overbooked ✎]

180 is the goal for me as I'm planning few chunksters next year

[Alessandra]

After I surpassed my 2014 goal by far I'm going for 50 books next year. :)

[Cristal]

My goal is 50 books in 2015:-)

[Kimberley]

My 2014 goal was low since I only joined Goodreads in August, but I'm going for 50 in 2015. About a book a week.

[Roseanne]

My goal for 2014 was 60 and I hit 60 in November. I am dropping my goal to 40 for 2015. I am doing a continuing ed thing for work so I just don't think I will have the time for more. I am also planning quite a few larger books for the coming year. But who knows....will see where I am in June, hopefully I am being overcautious and will still have time to read more.

[Anna]

My goal is to read 100 books. I LOVE reading but I have stopped school really impacted that.

[Gavin]

I'll go for 40 in 2015. I'll be reading a lot of chunksters, so I don't want to aim too high and not make it.

[Lisa R.]

I am going to keep my goal of 30. I have managed to read more than my 2914 goal, but I don't want to put to much pressure on myself. I'm sure that I will exceed my goal

[Happy]

I should be able to reach 100.

[Amber]

I'm doing my reading for pleasure reading challenge again which is to read 1 or more books a week until the end of the year. so won't have a goal.

[Laura]

I am going to read a few chunksters so I am aiming for 75. Will probably go over but I am finally happy to say my doctor gave me the go ahead to hike again and start running so that will fill some of the time I did with books.

[Theresa]

I set my 2014 goal at 100, then 120, finally 150 for 2014 and so far I've finished 167; guessing I'll finish maybe 3-4 more. Sounds like a lot but I listen to audio books all the time and everywhere (and I'm retired so have plenty of time to do just that). Anyway, I think I can do 150 next year; maybe more but don't want to get cocky. So that will be my goal for 2015.

That is sort of a goal of at least 52 books. But we won't hold you to it. :)

[Salma]

Hmm I never have set up a goal, so I don't really know what is realistic. But I will try to read 75 books this year

[Susan]

I got tantalizingly close to my goal of 60 in 2014. It's definitely achievable for me so that's my aim for 2015. Also I already have 30 books on my bookshelf/kobo so I need to get cracking!

[Denia]

I'll probably read 100 but I've always get to read more.

[Amber]

Actually Chase this year I've read 133 books all year so far but it'll prob be 134. So won't know how many for next year yet.

[Lena]

I think I'll keep my goal at 52 books this year. That averages out to one book a week which I think is about as much as I can manage.

[Liz]

i was going to go for 52 again but i always have to up the limit. 2015 im starting at 80 and ill go from there

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I have it set for 150 but am secretly hoping to get closer to 200

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Yeehaw! I am 5 books away from reaching my 2015 goal!!

[Kassandra]

Fantastic Renee! Time to bump up that goal ;)

[Charon]

My goal constantly increases as last year I was getting out of a 3 year reading slump so I intend to crush my TBR pile that I've been constantly adding to since last year. But so far I've reached all my reading goals I've set myself this year.

And so far I've read 123 books in 2015.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Lol. My goal was 120 books. I think I may just enjoy reaching the goal for awhile. Well, maybe.

[Cindy]

It does make you feel good when you make progress on a goal. Fantastic job, reaching 120 books.

[sonya]

Part of reaching my goal is to listen to a few audio books

[Lisa R.]

I've read 40 books so far this year, meeting my goal. Looks like I should increase my goal :)

[Faye, The Dickens Junkie]

Nice work, you over-achievers! :)

[Celia]

I am planning to read 150 books, so far have finished 97

[Celia]

I recommend Necessary Lies.... I LOVED the audio

Also listening to The Husband's Secret... am loving that too

[Michael]

I was aiming for 100, and got off to a good start, but now I am taking a couple of classes which are using up some of my reading time, so I might just not make it, but I'll give it my best shot.

[Kassandra]

Best of luck on reaching 100 Michael!
