2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This year I hope to read 100 books!
Since this will be my first year keeping check on how many books I read during a year, I'm setting a milestone at 50 just to be on the safe side.

The books I'm reading this year will be anything I can get my hands on(mostly fiction because I'm already getting enough of the real world outside reading!) as well as those I already own but haven't gotten around to.. (it's more than I originally thought)
I'm also reading the books I'll end up buying since there is no stopping my book addiction (the longest I've gone without buying a book was 3 months and it was to save up some money).

If you have a suggestion please feel free to comment!
And good luck to everyone with a reading challenge!!

Good luck Marie! Hope you have a wonderful reading year!

Thanks Ada! and you too!

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?

Thanks Blagica! unfortunatly school has taken up all of my time and energy this april, so I haven't even finished a 100 paged book yet...
the book that stood out the most so far is the one i'm currently reading called The Time Machine despite having only read half of it.

Hope you are getting in some good reads this spring! what is your favourite so far?

I hope May is a fantastic month filled with books and sunshine! My favorite so far
Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between

Despite the fact that my exams started towards the end of May and school becoming even more hectic this, I have read more books in May alone than I did in Feb. to Apr. all together.

This year has been quite hectic, which I did not fully anticipate.
while I knew it would be busier than most years (hence the title), it still took me by suprise.
Not only did I enter my last year in school (somewhat like a high school) and passed several exams this summer, but I also had one of my busiest summer holida
ys to this date.
I went into a 6 month reading slump from the start of July to the end of December and it was, to put it simply, absolute torture.
The only good thing that camr out of this slump was that I didn't buy any books and therefore have a lot more money in my bank account than I did last year...
Hopefully 2019 will turn out different as I will be graduating next summer and hopefully spend my summer holidays a little wiser than the last.

Also, just realized that I never marked Harry Potter 4 as read despite having finished it around 6 months ago..
