Is everybody ready for 2015? Any thoughts on how many books you'll aim to read for the 2015 goodreads reading challenge?

I will aim to read anywhere from 75 to 100 books

Good luck. :)

I think this year I'll go for 150 books :)

I'm going for 200 :)

Good luck guys! Does anybody else get frustrated that the 2015 reading challenge widget doesn't show up until 12.00am goodreads time? why can't they give us it early?!

I do!! Just looked for it now

Hopefully you won't get so many illnesses this year Heather ☺

Big goal! Good luck ☺

I try to read 10 more books every year so I'm going with 70 since my last year's goal was 60.

Good luck Sara ☺

I'm aiming for 105, as part of a challenge :)

Thanks I agree hoping to get rid of half of this crud as soon as possible!

Good luck Victoria! Challenges are great for increasing the number of books you get read ☺

Good luck! Have to say that I get very excited about the reading challenge as well!

Everybody seems to make so big challenges. Like over 100. If I wasn't as busy person as I am I could do that. I'm gonna go with 50 this year. (It's already 2015 in Finland.)

Hey, someone else from here too, Tytti :) Hyvää uutta vuotta!

I couldn't read even nearly a 100 books. I've been going with just like 20, but.. at this site someone who reads doesn't even feel like they belong to a group with ppl aiming for 150-200 books or so. Maybe I should really try to complete more than last year (which was 27).
I still have to think about this. It'll be around the previous one though. Any ideas how I could boost my reading speed and actually get things done? ^^

Read during lunch breaks, between classes, right before you sleep, early in the morning when everything is quiet. Try reading anthologies/short stories/graphic novels. They are shorter and pretty entertaining.

I'm going for 96 - 8 books a month. I love the beginning of a New Year. So much promise!

I'm going for 80, I might change it later but that's what I'm planning because of a full time job. I read 200 books on 2014 but I don't feel like I completely enjoyed them, you know? So I'm going for a lower number this year, but like I said, we'll see.
Good luck everyone! Wanting to know how many books you'll read, Sarah :D

I am going for 35 books on 2015.

Aww, no pressure Anastasia! Reading should be enjoyable, never mind if other readers can read faster. As long as you enjoy it as it is, it's fine! :) Contemporary romances are very short, so maybe read those, if that's your cup of tea? Or graphic novels and children's books.

I'm going for 80 this year. Hopefully, I meet it since I'm on an internship and getting a job, soon. :)

I achieved my goal of 200 books for 2014. But I will aim for 100 books for now since I'll be a senior in college and life is going to be real busy. :/ Good luck with your goals guys!

I'm going for 75 this year.

Good luck with all your goals everyone! Every book is an achievement so please don't feel bad if you think your number is relatively small. I only managed to read like 2 books in the year between having my little boy and him turning 1, sometimes life gets in the way!

Good luck everyone! :)

No matter how big or small your goal is, you're still spending your free time doing something you love, so don't feel beat yourself up if other people are aiming for more, or you don't make your original goal.

2 books? :O I find that hard to believe because it's you SARAH. haha.

I'm going for 70 books this year :)

Thanks people for cheering me up ^^ Yeah, reading should be about having fun... I decided to put 29 books there. Some more but not too much. I'm going to spend the weekends and evenings and holidays like I used to as a kid. xD

I'll be aiming for 75 books, that might change later on in the year though. I only started counting the books i read in the middle of 2014, lets hope 75 is do able because i am unsure at the moment.

Good luck with your challenges everyone! :)

Good luck to you all. :)

Good luck everybody!

My goal is 80 but I don't want to feel stressed from the beginning so I'm starting off with 65. :)

Good luck Presiana ☺

My goal is 100 if I get new glasses very soon.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck Madge ☺

I'm going for 100, which was last year's original goal. I read 80ish in total, but now I'm realising that I forgot to put on at least 10 books from the summer...oops!

oops! Good luck this year ☺

So, anybody reading anything good? I seem to have started the year with some books I didn't really like!
