I didn't realize that I hadn't made this topic! Sorry!

What's your reading challenge for this year? Are you going to increase the number of books? Tell us all about it.

message 4: by Ellen (new)

Ellen | 14 comments I increased to 20 this year, but will probably read more than that. So far, I've read 4. Which makes me a little sad, but senior year is very busy.


message 5: by Daphne (new)

Daphne | 6 comments I increased to 30 this year, last year I couldn't read as much as I wanted so I'm going to change that this year. I have read 3 so far.

message 11: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 12 comments My challenge is to get through 52 books this year with the plan to do at least one per week. I am currently on 12 so a little behind schedule.


message 12: by Sophie (new)

Sophie (sophiesworld) I've actually read nearly half the books required although many were just a few pages, like pocket books, ones more like booklets etc

Patti My goal is 45 books this year. Sometimes I read a book per week and then I find myself binge watching a series on Netflix for a while...yeah guilty lol. I've read 10 books so far.


message 15: by Tobias (new)

Tobias Langhoff (tobiasvl) | 12 comments I set a goal of 50 books, and so far I'm 10 ahead. I'm sure I'll reach a slump at some time though.

Goodreads posted a blog post with tips to make more time to read. I have the feeling I've read the same post before on the blog, but these might help :)

Rabiya (rabiyareads) | 48 comments Mine is 30 books this year..Already on 22 book.. guess gonna setup new challenge soon


message 20: by Jo (new)

Jo Co32 (joco32) | 1 comments I set my challenge at an optimistic 40. With 16 read so far I am going to have to up my game.


message 21: by Sophie (new)

Sophie (sophiesworld) 33 was my goal and I am over 3/4 of the way through :) I'm not going to up my goal though - It's good to see what goal I set myself at the beginning of the year and how I got on. Many of the books are short stories and children's books though. I've dipped in and out of a few others and not really listened to the ones I had in mind for part of it but I could only really concentrate on more easy going ones.


message 22: by Hanna (new)

Hanna (hannasw) | 41 comments This year I put my challenge to only 20 books because I started school and was busy with kids too. But looks like I've overdone myself since I've already read 19 books!

message 24: by Tina (new)
