2025 Reading Challenge discussion

My goal is to read 40 books next year. The wife and I are having our first child so may not reach that goal, but that wouldn't bother me too much!! Will keep my reading progress updated here for people to comment on. My reading log will consist of a lot of new releases for 2018 and books sitting on my shelf that I still need to read. Here is to a happy 2018!

Congratulations Chris! I wish you happy reading but above all all the luck for your family. Enjoy your little one!

Thank you very much!

A lot are new releases in series I read. There is also a couple of series (Longmire and Alex Cross) I am trying to get caught up on so I'll be reading a handful of those books. And then books that have been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for awhile that I want to finally read.

So my list of books Im going to read is gonna look a lot different. I decided that after I finish my current book, Im going to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire series. Some big books that might take up some time. So I figure the books collecting dust may collect a little more dust as I still plan on reading books that will be released in 2018. Excited to start the first book, A Game of Thrones, here shortly!
