2025 Reading Challenge discussion

My goal is to read 50 books this year!I didn't quite make it last year, but I have hope that I can do it now. I'm not sure about the Page Turner challenge, but I read almost 10,000 pages last year, so I'm aiming for about 15,000 this year.

I'm off to a good start, having read 4 books so far this year:
Sleeping Giants
Wishful Drinking
Scarlet
Beneath the Sugar Sky

That's 1,097 pages read so far!

Good luck & happy reading MacKenzie!

I wish you the best of luck with both your books and your pages! Do you have a book that stands out that you can not wait to read this year?

Finally finished a 5th book this month - Cress.

That brings me to 1,647 pages read so far this year. I want to read at least a couple more books this month if possible, but I feel pretty good about my start so far.

I was super excited to read The Cruel Prince, but as I've started it I have been kind of disappointed and having difficulty getting into it.

At this point I'm probably most excited for The Towering Sky and A Court of Frost and Starlight!

6 books down finishing The Enchanted. 1,933 pages read in January. Who knows - maybe I can knock out another one I've been reading this month.

MacKenzie 6 books is a great start to your goal this year!

You are doing great! Hoping March is a great month for you.

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?

I actually really liked it. I didn't think I would at first because it took me a few starts to actually get into it. Everything fit together really well and I like family dramas, although I was really expecting it to be more paranormal than it was.

good to know thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hoping July is an awesome month in books!

I read 7 books in June, so I'm up to 38/50!
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

Nice going MacKenzie!

Awesome job so far! Do you have a favorite book or a book you still can't wait to read?

My favorite book that I've read so far this year is American Gods, but I also finally finished and loved the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I'm anxiously awaiting The Towering Sky's August release date, but mostly I'm just kind of going with the flow of whatever I feel like reading and trying not to buy as many books as I normally would.

I understand that I for sure buy more then I read All these books sound good will look into them after work
