message 1: by Erica (new)

Erica Robbin (ericarobbin) | 82 comments Happy New Year, 2024 everyone! What are your reading goals for this year?

I'm hoping to:
-Read the books I already own (no purchases).
-Explore more non-fiction historical, event-based themes and various literary cultural reads.
-Some memoir, some poetry.

I don't really focus on numerical goals, but I just barely made my yearly standard set of 24 books, in 2023. I had a difficult time concentrating and finding time. I was a bit behind in book clubs.

I'm looking forward to 2024 to bring much more reading love in my life for this year! Especially if I can finish most of the books on my current physical TBR shelf. I would feel so accomplished!

How about you?

JackieBeau in a bad reading slump | 35 comments Hi Erica ! Happy New year I too want to read what I got with no purchases but I have a pre ordered Kristin Hannah’s new book out in February! Plus in Late July there is a huge used book sale so I will try not to buy books before the middle of July 2024 ! My challenge is again 30 because I didn’t do it last year ☹️

Same!


message 7: by Raymond (new)

Raymond | 17 comments Hi Erica,

Last year I read 24 - my goal - one every 2 weeks. I made it - barely. Soooo, that's my goal this year, too :-)

I belong to 3 very different book clubs - I may need to give one or even 2 up. I simply cannot read my own books, or others that I would prefer. A conundrum. I like the people / socialization, but reality has set in - maybe I need to just do one and read what I truly enjoy reading. And I HATE DNF - I try to always avoid that.

I try to not buy any books - though I make exceptions for a couple of small indie book stores, local, to support them. All others are the public library.

Oh and to finish all those that I started - but never did complete, just to be clear :-)

Kristina Mateo (chicklassique) | 85 comments 60 from 30 last year. 1 down 59 to go


message 11: by Susanne (new)

Susanne | 102 comments I have way too many books on my TBR list, a lot of which are print books. So I'd like to get through as many of those as possible. And I want to read the full Wheel of Time series, I've got the complete collection in print. Also, several ebook series where I've read and enjoyed the first book but didn't continue with the series, really bad habit of mine! Need to finish some of those too! Last year's goal was 150 which I managed. Will try for the same again this year


message 12: by Stormi (new)

Stormi Ellis | 3 comments I always set mine at 75!


Shannen Libraryof2stories  (shannenlibraryof2stories) My goals are:
- Purchase max 12 books (last year it helped me become more critic on which books I wanted to buy and which I could borrow or just didn't want to read in the end)
- Read less (45 instead of 50 or 60 as previous years), so I have more time for other things
- Read more from my physical TBR


message 14: by Onna (new)

Onna DeRenzo | 24 comments 75 — more if I can.


Ciggeratesandbooks | 3 comments I always set my goal to 100 and less this year my goal is to read :-

- To read self help book
- To read atleast 20 books from my Tbr


message 16: by Geloü (new)

Geloü My reading goal this 2024 is to read 25 books at least as I'm a very slow reader. I also aim to finish all my physical books I purchased last year! Lastly, I would want to also try audiobooks and see if it works for me who loses my focus way too easily.

message 20: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa (vanessacumberlandcountypa) Thank you for asking Erica and all the best to everyone on your reading goals for this year! Every year I vow to read more from my personal library and every year I fail spectacularly. I catalog new materials for my local library system and as the new bright shiny books pass across my desk I get very, very tempted to put them on hold to take home and read.


message 21: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Hertzler | 20 comments Between 1 and 3 books a month, sometimes I go a little bonkers and read more sometimes I read less, but I figure that's a happy medium.


message 22: by Michael (new)

Michael Oxley | 11 comments I'm quite an avid reader so I can usually reach a target of 100 books.

Sarah | 11 comments Hoping for 20+ books, normally i read 30+ but with the new school year, i don't think i'll be able to read that much


message 24: by Daria (new)

Daria  | 1 comments I hope I will get to 50 books this year

Annika | 78 comments happy new year everyone.
I would like to read 60 books (I can only reach this when listen to audiobooks as well), read more from my physical tbr and finish/start some series I've been meaning to get to for a long time.
Happy reading!


message 30: by Emma (new)

Emma Ramacciotti | 19 comments I set mine at 70. I hope to read some series I started but always put off to finish. not because I didn't liked the books I read, but because I don't want yo close that world.


message 31: by Simona (new)

Simona | 1 comments I hope to read more ... and i want to try to read more classic writters


Nora (Grayson's version) (noraseed) | 179 comments 25 books


ash (mymodernrenaissance) (mymodernrenaissance) | 2 comments I put my 2024 goal as 52 again, but I’m thinking of changing it to 100 because I have the first 80 of Penguin’s little black classics and have only read the first one, so I would like to get through more of them and they’re very short. I’d also like to explore more kindle unlimited and finish my physical tbr. Lastly, I’m in the World Tour Bookclub on Fable by Emmie and am participating in her Game of Tomes one as well.

~ get back to being a regular at my book club
~ read more than last year
~ discuss books with my soon to be son in law, who also loves to read
~ leave books to DNF if they don't grab me


message 39: by Natasha (last edited Jan 02, 2024 09:48AM) (new)

Natasha | 136 comments I want to enjoy reading again and regain my flow in reading. My concentration and focus fell this year so while I am hoping to read 75 books again this year, I am also hoping to enjoy more of the books I read. I hope to leave a book if I'm not invested in it. Life is too short and I can always come back to it later. Also, I really want to read as many books on my physical reading shelf so I can buy other books (guilt-free) :P Oh, and to save 3 euro for every book, kindle book, or audiobook I read this year!

Happy adventuring and a Happy New Year to you all :)


message 40: by Giada (new)

Giada (jaderead) | 1 comments my goal is to read 50 book hopefully for the challenge here,read a bit of everything regarding genres, and to read the count of Montecristo


message 41: by Heathers_readss (new)

Heathers_readss | 31 comments Happy new year beauties! My goal is to hit 150 books for the whole year, but aside from that I want to clear my physical TbR shelf at home, (I think I have around 250 physical books I need to read at home ugh the thought is so daunting!!) and to eventually downsize and utilize my kindle as I get through them! (I generally keep the books I REALLY enjoyed 5/4⭐️ mark and then unhaul the rest!).

What about you guys!


message 42: by Liandri (new)

Liandri | 13 comments Happy New Year :)

my goals are:
- to read 20 books but any number will be fine, i sometimes get into a slump
- to read books on my shelf
- try not to buy new books but if i do it should be second hand
- i would like to listen to some more classic books, i started listening to audio books this year but only listen to classics (still prefer reading a physical book)

oh and I would like to make more friends to talk about books :)
