But once I went over and seen some of the books you've already red that are barely 50 page children books I can understand how you are getting that many books in per year.
I have an assortment of books , 64 , on my kindle unread . I hope to make a sizeable dent in that number . Unfortunately I'm easily diverted by recommendations or new books by favourite authors .
20 books. lol, not a lot but hey. im defo gonna expand it
40 books! I only just started reading again as my 2023 resolution. I did 24/25 last year. lol
65 books and I'm trying to branch out into genres I don't nearly explore like romance and science fiction. I swear 2022 for me was ALL mysteries 😅
80.. but throwing both Ficton and Non Fiction. And a few different genres.
70 but i've been reading A LOT lately and i feel like it might got up
I mainly just wanted to read more of other genres
My hopes are that l can read...10 - that just can't be put down.
10 - that end to soon.
10 - that leave me something in exchange.
10 - that equal or surpass my expectations.
And only a coupe stinkers.
150 books but I will probably double that being as I read a lot of short stories and novellas.
my goal is to read 42 books this year and i want to read one self help book each month
wellll to read1. crime and punishment (completed)
2. pride and prejudice
3. self helps as much as I can
i just want to read good books and so far im meeting my goal!

I'd rather read real literary works, longer books, books that show intellectual and moral rigor AND entertain. (The Hild Sequence is two books almost 1800 pages but it's magnificent!) I wouldn't want to lose that to a numbers game. I'm also trying to read a serious non-fiction book as one in five--but am allowing for escapism as needed, given all that's happening in real life.
Hi! My goals for this year are:- to stay consistent with reading every other day
- try to branch out in new genres, even if I may not like them
- to start reading books that I actually think I’ll like, instead of what’s popular
- to flip flop between genres. Like after reading Piranesi, I now am going to read Jane Austen before I dive into The Poppy War.

Kind of fell into a "downer" genre of late (10 out of the last 11 books); In Cold Blood, The Dairy of a Young Girl (Anne Frank), Life of Pi, The Bell Jar, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Frankenstein, War of the Worlds. Into the Wild and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
i want to read at least 50 books and read more nonfiction and memoirs instead of only fiction. also, i want to try to get out of my comfort zone and try new genres and discover new authors i might grow to love.
My goal is to read 50 books this year :)
no matter how many books I read, my goal is to read good books

My goal is to read 45. I hope I finish a lot of what’s on my TBR and I want to buy more books this year. I might also try to read some classics because I’ve been trying to get more into them.
I have a few goals -73 books this year
-More diversity with my books (BIPOC, LGBTQIA, Disability, etc.)
-Don't be afraid to DNF popular books, pushing through just puts me in a slump.
-Receive more ARCs
50 Books 💫I want to delve deeper into fantasy/romantasy ✨❤️
I want to tackle ToG in 2024, for sure but still ploughing through Acotar
This year I am aiming low. I want to soak in the books I read and even the ones I hate or dislike etc, I want to be fully present instead of how I did last year where I was binge reading.Just experimenting to see if that enhances my reading experience.
(and will DNF more easily if it is just not for me)
so with those being said, my goal is :
1. Finish TOG series
2. Reread any favs from the series without guilt if I want to
3. After that (or during): read 20 books
i originally chose peace with 25... 50. im 5 ahead though!!
My goal is to read a book a week. Last year I did much better. I hope to be able to at least do as well as last year.
My goal is to read 125 book by the end of the year and I’m 20 books through.
My post is untimely, but this is the first reading challenge I've ever done. I've set a personal goal to read 40 books this year. Since this challenge began on January 1, 2024, I've really found my love for reading again. As of today, I just started reading my 15th book! So happy to be ahead of my goal and who knows how many books I will read by the end of the year. Loved the last book I read, "Just Stab Me Now." And, just started reading, "Where the Forest Meets the Stars." (In 2023 I read this authors book, "Oceanography of the Moon" - great read and not at all what I was expecting).
There are so many awesome books out there and since I'm retired now and haven't avidly read anything in many, many years; I think this year will prove to be a most interesting one with all the different journeys, adventures, challenges and mysteries I will be partaking in a vast array of genres. Book on!!!
I have a bunch of reading goals, ranging from very easy to quite difficult.1. Straight numbers goal: 365 books. I've been doing this for several years so I'd call this Difficulty: Medium
2. Continuing Education Challenge: Read 50 nonfiction books. I've been doing this for a few years as well and find it really enriching to be learning new things every day. Difficulty: Medium
3. Backlog Challenge: Read or DNF all older unread works by three favourite authors, Brandon Sanderson, L.E. Modesitt, and Cassandra Gannon. Difficulty: Easy because a) there aren't that many books, about 60 total, and b) these are my favourite authors, or course I want to read everything they've ever written!
4. Daily Stoic Challenge: Read the Daily Stoic on a daily basis. Difficuty: Easy, it's like one or two pages a day.
5. Harvard Classics Challenge: Read the Harvard Classics in full in one year. Difficulty: Insane.
85 this year. I read over 150 books per year, and sometimes I think it's too much haha. 😅
Mostly I avoid reading goals per se, I have general intentions.This year looks to be a year of trilogies. I just finished THE OHIO RIVER TRILOGY: Betty Zane + The Spirit of the Border + The Last Trail (Western Classics Series): Historical Novels which I cannot esp recommend. Next up is most likely The Balkan Trilogy.
Meantime I tend to have several books going at once, it will be fun to see what other book happens next.
To read 25 books. Read 10 books so far :)
My goal is set at 86 books this year (one more than last year). I’m working through 9 long series (to be completed in a future year) and 7 short series (all of which I’ll finish this year).
200 to make up for not reading much last year.
The book you like most
