What are Your 2024 Reading Goals?
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 ☹️
My goals this year are too read 25 books and I want to finish all of my physical TBR. I also want to explore manga and poetry.
My goals are:• To read 20 books, but i’ll be happy with anything over 15
• To read everything on my bookshelf I already have (No purchases)
• Read and look into more classic literature.

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 :-)
My 2024 reading goals is to read 12 books (hopefully more than) from my tbr
60 from 30 last year. 1 down 59 to go
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
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
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
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.
A book a month is my goal for 2024 but I will probably read more. my first book for 2024. The magicians elephant by Kate Dicamillo ...young readers book.
Happy New year to everyone. My goal for 2024 is to read 18 books
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.
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.
I'm quite an avid reader so I can usually reach a target of 100 books.
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
I hope I will get to 50 books this year
focus on reading what I own!!
Hoping to read at least 10 books. My schedule is so hectic and sometimes I get lazy that I fail to read so Im hoping to bring the spark back and let me fall in love again with reading despite being so busy
130 books for this year. I hope I can read
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!
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.
I hope to read more ... and i want to try to read more classic writters
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.
I set my goal to 100, last year I read 116! My Goal lis to give a little detail on what I read in my reviews, I always forget lol
100 books hopefully, the most I have read in a year in 167 and that was in grade 6 so I hope I can top that now that I'm older
My goal is 110 books this year. I try to read an author for each letter of the alphabet. I also try to read authors from around the world.
I’m retiring from teaching in May, so I will have more time to read.
I put 110 books though I'm not sure whether I'll make it but I'll try to
I had a rough year last year and was pretty much absent from my book club....so....~ 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
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 :)
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
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!
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 :)
My reading goal is 120 books for 2024.
23 books random number but the most I can hope for 🥹
I went big with 200 books as my goal. But, I'd also like to read from genres that I typically wouldn't choose.
I'd like to work on reading more banned books and classics also.
my goal is 70 this year, managed to reach 50(+4) last year and i wanna try more
Happy New Year everyone last year my goal was 50 books I didn't quite get therei was 10 shy of making g it butchered were times I was sick or lost interest in reading g this year my goal is to shoot for 60 I know I can do it I just got to put myself into it
mine is atleast 300 but im starting off as 50, trying not to embarrass myself yk
The book you like most
Books mentioned in this topic
THE OHIO RIVER TRILOGY: Betty Zane + The Spirit of the Border + The Last Trail (Western Classics Series): Historical Novels (other topics)The Balkan Trilogy (other topics)
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?
