I hope so too Sabine, it's a nice goal! Wishing you the best of luck, but above all of course I wish you happy reading!

Thank you Susy

What’s your goal for 2018?

Well, I started 2017 with a goal of 12 books, upped it to 24 and I have read 40 books so far. So for next year I’ve set a goal of 48 books.... For me it’ll be quite a challenge....

Nice goal, Susy . If you read so much in 2017, I’m sure you get your goal 2018, too

Thank you Sabine! I sure am going to give it my best!

It’s only a part of 50 to read books 📚

Good luck! 50 was my 2017 goal as well and I got hung up on a few books that took me months to read 😕

I made a much lower goal for 2018. I’m not as brave as you!

Thank you Brittany

2017 my first goal was 50, too.
But I noticed quite quickly that I did not reach the goal.
That’s the reason why I changed my goal from 50 to 40 Books 2017
But 2018 I want get my goal to read 50 books

Very good but also cruel

11 is a great start to the year keep up the great work!!!!

I‘m off sick and have stayed at home since November.
So I have a lot of time for reading.
But I’m not always in the mood for it.
It could be more.

Hope nothing serious and that you will feel better soon!
It’s quite ok to not always be in the mood for reading! Besides, you’re making great progress nonetheless!

I believe so but English isn’t my native language either so I’m probably not the right person to answer your question you lol

@blagica
Thank you. Hope so, too

@susy 😂 it is not really important. I can try to ask my future son in law. He is from America

19/50
Andrina L. Vögele -Taquanta. Zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit

The author from this book was 15 years young, when she did write it.
15 years and so much crazy Phantasie 🤪

A book is a dream that you hold in your hand. I hope that April brings you many more five star reads. Do you have a stand out book so far this year?
