Challenge Corner discussion

Hellooooo January!

Here is a place to post any goals you're setting for your reading in the new year. Hopefully we can encourage each other to stay motivated.

I plan on cleaning up my TBR and at least read 50 books this year and trying not to add to my TBR.

Cool! :) I really wanted the TBR toppler to be back, because there are books I really should prioritize! :P

I will think of priorities and list them here! :)

I'd like the TBR toppler to be back, so I might post my this year's version of that here! (... which has a lot of the same books on it as last year *cringes*)

Ahahah! :) I keep buying books, despite the fact I really want to read the ones I already have!!! :P

Join us for the The Dictionary of Lost Words BR and clean a book from yours Ellen! :P

My reading goal for this year is 50 for now, but I have over 100 books on my TBR for 2023, so hopefully I'll get to them all. I've read 11 books so far this year.

I failed on not adding to my TBR already.

I think it was too ambitious a goal! ;) You could decide to prioritise the old ones! ;)

I am going to do that. I also broke my goal of not buying books (which was a fail from the start) and put in my first order on Thriftbooks. But they are all books from my TBR.

I just saw this! Am I too late to buddy with you; I know there's a rule about how long a thread has been dormant for... That will definitely help me get a move on!

Well, I have definitely already finished it, but I believe the buddy thread stays open for 2 weeks after the last comment, so you have a few days to start commenting for buddy points! ;) The last comment was on 30th of January.
Both Kira and I gave it 3 stars though. It was mostly inoffensive, but I didn't love it, and there was something that actually annoyed me a little...

I can keep look out for your comments and reply if you decide to read it ;)

Thanks so much :) I've got a few books on the go but what's one more lol? I'll start tonight. It would be really nice if you reply - I'll look at what you've said

I haven't thought too much about my reading goals because it's been a busy first few weeks, so I'll likely revise these goals later.

1. Read at least 100 books.
2. Read + review at least 15 ARCs.
3. Read more from different genres, including nonfiction.
4. Reread manhwas and actually mark them on Goodreads. (I've started/read nearly a hundred but didn't realize how many were archived here.)
5. Have no more than 3 active BR (not including BotMs) threads a month.
