In past years I've gone for 40+ challenges while always trying to really hit 50 and putting a ton of side goals in. Not this year. This year I'm putting zero pressure on myself, have zero side goals and am just reading what I want to with no push towards reading too many books. If I get past 24, awesome, if not, it's fine either way. The goal is just to relax.
