Do you have reading goals? How many books have you read this year? (1 Viewer)

[centen]

I've finished 221, trying to get to 225. I want to wrap up a couple of series I'm in the middle of and have the books sitting on my shelf for.

So yes, I am posting this to be like "get off kps for a bit and go read" to myself.

I didn’t track my reading this year, but I will next year
My goal will be 100 books

This year, including rereads/multiple reads within one year, I think I'm sitting at about 50 books as of the other day according to my Goodreads. I may bump that up by a few more by the end of the year as I'm currently rereading the (bonkers and hilarious) Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series as my post-finals destresser. I think the most I've managed ina year is 70ish, but I'm willing to try and push my limit next year! I just always get a bit afraid I won't meet my Goodreads goal. I always like the satisfaction of the "challenge complete" badge.

That's excellent progress! I don't think I read that much when I was in school still; it can be hard to want to read when you already have to spend so much time having to read.

I read a lot of fiction/ sci / fantasy many in the 500 - 1 k page count range so i am not pushing 200.
reading 300 or less is like a short story lol.

Maybe 100 almost all rereads.
I just do not have faith that ppl will tell a story i am at all interested in, and i am long past slogging thru drek unless its to read a book a niece or nephew is reading.

The heck type of schedule do you have? (/lh btw)

 

[Tickita]

I set a Goodreads goal to read 12 books. I finished 15

 

[ChiaraStar169]

my goal was at least 1 book - I met that goal. I think maybe next year I'll raise the bar to maybe 5 books, and then 10, 20, 50, 100...

 

[ani07]

no.... and I didnt count

 

[eclipsoul]

i don't have such goals for books, only for movies. i wanted to watch 500 movies this year but i fell down the rabbit hole of polish gameshows - but once they take my favourite one off air due to low rating i'll be back in my cinephile era

This year I was too busy, so I wasn't able to read books. I did finish 3 manga series, though.
But next year, I want to read at least 20 books.

I read a lot of audiobooks, because I'm walking my dog, and I listen to them when I'm running errands. I probably finish 1-2 physical reads each week, though. I'm an aggressive DNFer, which helps a lot. It's easy to read fast when it's enjoyable.

I finished Sanderson's Skyward series and Stormlight Archive this year (except for Wind and Truth, but that just came out), so my list is a mix of super long reads through to novellas. Currently working on VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy.

I get that though. I have authors who are day-one buys, and I'm always trying to find more reliable authors, so I always have something entertaining to read. Not everyone has Sanderson's output.

 

[anemoia]

My goal for next year is to finish at least two series :D

That's a great goal! Do you have the series picked out already, or going to go with whatever piques your interest when you get to it?

That's very sweet! If you do want to read more, I would suggest finding something that you really like, don't be afraid to drop a book if it's not interesting, and maybe start with something shorter. There are a lot of good novellas out these days.
