2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hi, I'm Lola and new to reading challenges / goodreads. I'm a lifelong book-o-phile and cannot imagine a life without books !! I have always wanted to 'track' my reads in a year: I tend to start a list in January and then lose 'track.' This year I'm trying out 2 things: a personal challenge to read at least 50 books (I'm secretly hoping to reach 100) and playing book bingo here at Goodreads and on facebook with Planner Girl Book Club. If you have a favorite book, please post a message with the title. I love recommendations of all types and truly want to expand my 'reading library.' Excited to be here and wish me luck !
