2025 Reading Challenge discussion

After having a successful year of reading in 2020 I’m starting with a target of 15 this year (up from 10 last year) and will post updates here!

BOOK 1/15

First book finished already - unusual for me.

1. Wilder Girls by Rory Power - 4/5

Best of luck, Caits.

Good luck with your goal, Caits! :)

BOOK 2/15

1. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig - 5/5


& thank you for the good luck messages!

Awesome! Good luck Caits! :) One book down, 14 to go! :)

BOOK 3/15

I’ve been enjoying reading so much this year I might up my goal to 20 if I can keep this up.

3. More Tales Of The City by Armistead Maupin

BOOK 4/5

4. The Cousins by Karen McManus

BOOK 5/5

Well January is over and I read 5 books - I really can’t believe I did and i’m really proud of myself :) heres to the same in February!

5. The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

BOOK 6/15

Hydra by Matt Wesolowoski

BOOK 7/15

Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

BOOK 8/15

A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson

Wow I am terrible at keeping up to date with this thread.. but I’m doing so well with my reading at the moment. I’m really happy with the amount of books i’ve read so far this year; it looks like I definitely will be smashing my 15 goal so I might increase it to 20. I don’t want to pressure myself by saying I want to read 50 books this year, I’m happier with smaller goals that I surpass.

Thank you all for the encouragement - it’s so nice to be in a community of readers! Here are my next two books:

BOOK 11/15

Are You Watching? by Vincent Ralph

BOOK 12/15

The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

I have a few exciting books to read in March so i’ll be looking forward to those!!

BOOK 13/15

Changeling by Matt Wesolowski

BOOK 14/15

If We Were Villains by M.L Rio

BOOK 15/15

The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell

Well I’ve read 15 books! This leaves me in a position where I could either change my goodreads goal (maybe to 30?) or just leave it and continue reading and logging my progess...

Wow! So quickly! You really read a lot the first months of this year! Since we're only in the first half of March of this year, I would certainly up your goal. There is plenty of time left in the year to read! :)

Congrats Caitlin!
