2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I am new to this book club & looking forward to participating.
I am a recent empty nester & getting back to the things I love.
My goal is 100 books this year. That's a lot for me, but I'm going to work towards it.
A new year. A new decade!!

Welcome to our group, ruth!
You'll find that it is a friendly, supportive community.
Hope you find some fun, motivating reading challenges in 2020 and enjoy a great reading year!

I have joined quite a few books groups, within this 2020 challenge.
How do I update in this group? Should I just update my original post, or add a new post with my updates? Thank you!

Ruth, my advice to you would be to have a look around at the other personal challenge threads in this 76-100 books folder and other personal challenge folders.
That may give you some new ideas on how you wish to track your reading journey in 2020.

I need to change my goal to .... 225

How do I do that?

You can only change your Goodreads Reading Challenge goal yourself. Do you know how to do that? Just in case...
(1) Go to your profile and you'll see your 2020 Reading Challenge on the top right.
(2) Click on View Challenge.
(3) Click on "edit" on the top right.
(4) Your current goal appears in a text box. Change the number to your new goal, then hit "Update."

As for this group, I have moved this thread of yours to the 200+ folder. Cheers!

thank you!
