I set my goal at 30, but I'm pretty sure I'll be smashing that with the rate I'm going at... But I just don't.want to stress myself out.

Want to read 50 books this year :)
I usually read more than 150 and that's my goal for 2024--BUT. After reading this Atlantic article: "Against Counting the Books You Read--The number of titles you finish in a year says little about your actual reading habits, by Emma Sarappo" I've realized getting us to count the number of our books is just an Amazon ploy to reap even greater profits.So THIS year, my goal is to read more books in translation, like We, the Drowned, The Beartown Trilogy, A Man Called Ove, Nervous People, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, and Aednan (an achingly beautiful story of same old same old white people annihilating brown culture, told in verse)--I highly recommend ALL OF THESE--and I solemnly pledge to read books, of any length, that seem worthy and intellectually rigorous. I will ignore the Reese Witherspoon hype, and Amazon/publishers' as well. Happy reading!
I'm currently enjoying Hild (776 pages), by Nicola Griffith, and also this year's Caldecott Award Winner for middle grades: The Eyes and the Impossible.
100.. a totally doable number if you don't waste time with books you don't like.
My goal this year is to read 30 books. I am also hoping to get into to more feminist literature and not only romance if anyone has recommendations please let me know! :)

24 books! I am busy a lot and am trying to get back into reading
Wow those goals are impressive, I'm only doing one a month but secretly striving for 25 if not more.
I’ve slowly upped my goal each year. This year is 50.
I was hoping 235 cause that’s what I did for 2023 but then I realised I’m in uni now so I had to be more realistic and I’m hoping for 150
*Goals2024*-Read & Review my ARC's in time ust likelast year
-post more on my 'Bookstagram'
-Use GR & Storygraph more often
-Read a Book from 1 Author per European Country (Going to make a List this Weekend)
-Read Books from my TBR-List before I buy any new ones
I want to read more of the books I own instead of buying new ones so that my TBR is less stressfulI want to get into more Christian living books
I want to get new bookshelves and a TBR cart
And I want to put less stress on my GoodReads goal
originally i set my goal to 30 books, but I'm more on track to 50-60 at the rate I'm reading
Last year I read 54 books so my goal this year is to surpass that! Hopefully 60 but my kindle unlimited expires soon so that might slow me down a bit lol
Happy New Year!I plan on reading 80 ish books this year.
I want to look into historical fiction & nonfiction.
I would really like to read 1 book/wk this year. I fell short last year but I’m listening to more audiobooks this year and I go through those faster than physical books or ebooks so I’m feeling hopeful.

Well now I see by your page you like fantasy fiction, may I suggest one of my favorite authors R.A. Salvatore which I think you might like
My reading goal is seven books a month for a total of 84 for this year. I had the same goal for last year and then I decided I would move so I wasn’t able to finish 84 books while I was packing and unpacking boxes, but so far I’m on target for this year.
My goal is to read at least 55 books for the reading challenge and find more books of different genres!!
I'm at 100. already done 15? I think, this month. I wanna try to do 100, maybe more.
i want to read 52 books this year and read more nonfiction!!! i also want to read more diverse fiction genres too
I'm seeing all this comment where many of you guy's goals are up to 200. I really admire that. My goal for this year 50. I've just joined Goodreads. So still new to this whole thing. But I'm quite enjoying it.
I used to have "52 books a year" goal. Usually I have read more than that, but then adult life happened and altough I still love to read, I am happy with smaller goal (24 book this year). It lets me enjoy reading more and not feel pressured about numbers :).
I'd like to read 30 books at least. Everything above is fine as well but not realistic. My degree is time-consuming and difficult but I will never sacrifice my hobby for hardcore studying.
My goal for this year would be to read 50 books.I read 25 last year because of a very bad reading slump and stress so i'm hoping that this year will go better!
80 This Year...Did 79 last year so I'm hoping the extra one won't break me!!!🤞
My goal is to read 10 books this year. I guess I already have 4-5 books on the shelf waiting to be picked up. Please recommend if you read and liked a book on psychology.
100 new books. I want stuff I've only recently discovered
I think 50 books but I might add or take away from that a few months in when I have a better idea of how my year will go.
I've challenged myself to review everything I read this year. I'm also trying to get my paws on as many ARCs as I can this year as well, so that goes well together. 75 is my goal number.
1. Read 100 books this year 2. Diversify my reading
3. Expand the genres on my shelf
- Read more Sci Fi / Fantasy / Historical Fiction
