2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I set a goal of 26 books in 2017. I am half way through my 26th book, and this is with having the life changing event of having a baby in June 2017.

I'm going to up the challenge to 32 for this upcoming year.

Congratulations with your baby Sharleen!
Wishing you the best luck with your new goal & happy reading!

Congratulations on both your baby and reaching your goal in 2017, Sharleen! So happy for you :)
I've been deliberating and deliberating on what my goal for 2018 will be for that same reason, but now it's been set at a very tentative 40 books.... But we'll seee...
Good luck with your goal in the year to come :)

Thank you! Now that my baby naps in her crib, and not on me, it feels like I've been given more hours in the day! :-D

I think I can read more, but 32 is realistic.

Best of luck with your challenge! Enjoy your time with the baby too.

Hoping you had fun getting lost in some pages in your first month!

Thank you! I did get lost in some pages! I was introduced to The Wayward Children series, and I'm enjoying it much more than I expected.

How about you?

Good to hear; have those on my TBR as well!

Hoping March is a great reading month for you.

It is going great! January and February has been pretty good too. I live in the Portland, OR area, so the weather has been gray and dreary. I've been staying indoors more often.

How's your March shaping up to be?

I have 6 reviews to do but I keep reading so I am hoping march will be a catch up month.

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?

Hello! I had a couple stand out books this year.
1) Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire

2) The Dispatcher by John Scalzi

I was pleasantly surprised that both of these held my attention every page.

Do you have any standout books?

“Reading brings us unknown friends” While the warm weather is coming I hope you make some new friends in May! You are doing great keep it up!
