i set a 50 book goal but i'd like to read all the physical books i have now because there's loads, and then get some from my amazon cart, and just keep pushing through until next year, I've been getting into the 'reader' sort of communities and collecting from authors and genres, so maybe try and branch out some more with stuff like that, have my fun an take my time <3

to read 100 books. last year I got 80 something, I was so close.
My goal is 75 books. That’s including finishing a few series I started, read at least one classic, some off my TBR and a bunch of ARC’s.
My goal for this year is 65. Within that, I usually set a number from certain genres, classics, banned books, and non-fiction, and so on.
200 books. I completed 241 for 2023. Good luck all!
50! I read 35 in 2023 but that was from may so 50 seems realistic for me
50 same as last year, im thinking I might put it up to 55 or maybe even 60 I'm undecided though
I managed 69 in 2023, aiming for 75 this year and to get my physical TBR to 10 or less
at least 24. I read 71 last year, but I was also off work for medical leave so I has a lot of time on my hands
I only put 20. Last year it was 50 and I read 81 but I got too competitive with it and took the fun out of it. I stopped getting all cozy and really enjoying the process of reading and instead only cared about how many I could read so realistically I’ll read way more than 20 but I’m hoping setting it at 20 will just keep me on track to keep reading a good amount almost as a minimum

I'm hoping to read 30 books this year. I went through a slump after I graduated college (I was an english major) because I was reading so much each semester. So, last year I read 20 books and this year I'm hoping for 30!
Mine's 100, same as last year but I might go up depending on my reading flow.
I start mine at 100 and adjust it if I get beyond that too soon!
I usually select 150 and hope I go over--this year was 164 books. But I don't want to read short ones just to make inventory, and this year I wasted too much effort on books that really weren't worth reading, although they were recommended. I'll be happy to read less quantity if I can up quality!! My favorite book published in 2023 was Carsten Jensen's We the Drowned (translated from Danish). I'd happily read just 20 books a year, if they were all that soulful and intellectually rigorous.
happy new years! my goals this year are to
1. read at least 24 books (cause it’s 2024)
2. annotate the hunger games series
3. write book report type things after finishing books.
wish everyone well!!

To read 50 books, including 10 non fiction and 5 classics. I hit 48 last year, so it seems doable.
To read 100 books & try to make it a point to write reviews, even if brief.
120! Pretty excited to see if I can hit it 🤞
30 books, but I hope for a few more. I'm participating in some challenges to engage myself more.
I would like to read 15 books this year and to try donate as many of those books as I can.
Read the books i have before getting more and 100 books by the end of the year
I am hoping to read more nonfiction this year. so send those recs yall please and thank you!
Read more of my physical books. I'm super bad at doing that. And hopfyllt thats gonna be atleast 50% of my 100 book challenge this year.
honestly just to read…at all 😭 i read like crazy at the start of 2023, but around october i just fell out of it and wasn’t in the mood for ANYTHING. but i do love reading so i’m easing back into it! currently reading the hunger games and i have maybe ten or fifteen other books planned but beyond that i’m going easy on myself!
ooo i upped my goal this year, my goal is 125 books. And i'm hoping to actually get through my tbr :)
i want to read more physical books this year and to read more self help books
I'm working on finishing my bachelor's degree, and recently acquired a series of technical books aimed at my profession that I'd like to finish. I set a goal of one a month for a total of 12.Also, I'd like to check out the latest Jack Reacher novel, and finish Clockwork Destiny by Kevin J. Anderson and the late great Neil Peart.
Due to starting a new job, I set my goal at 30 books for the upcoming year. There is no break down.... just whatever strikes my fancy. I would like to laugh more this year, so it would be nice to read more things with witty dialog and bantering.
I have set my reading goal to 90 books for the since I exceeded my reading goal for 2023 by 11 books. I read 101 books last year despite spending a couple of months doing barely any reading.
My goal is to read 52 books. That’s a book a week, and I thought that it sounded reasonable LOL
Im going to try for 50, we’ll see how that goes !
Happy New Year! Mine is 24 for '24 and to not feel guilty about not finishing a book if I'm losing interest in it
I feel fortunate to be a bookworm who gets the opportunity to read advance reader's copies (ARCs) of books from NetGalley before they are published. It's like having access to a treasure trove of undiscovered gems - a magical cave of the most anticipated upcoming bestsellers. I enjoy this privilege thoroughly and take it very seriously. Reading and reviewing each book as quickly as possible is my top priority. I understand that objective reviews are crucial to the success or failure of these publications. It's often like sifting through sand and gravel before finding the shining nuggets of gold, but the process is always rewarding.
Mines 288 (24 each month). i read more than I expected last year so I feel it's achievable especially with ARC's. I also want to read the physical books I own and not just on my kindle, and reduce my tbr lists
