Are you participating in the Goodreads Challenge this year?
What total will you set?
I have done the Goodreads Challenge for about 4 years and thankfully each year I have hit my goal.
In 2017 I knew I was going to be at home for a few weeks as I have 2 prolapsed discs in my neck and was having treatment so I did set my goal a bit higher as I knew I would probably read a book a day. I wanted to read 135 books in 2017 and I actually reached that in November! Go me!!!!
For 2018 I am going a bit more on the conservative side. I want to relish and cherish every word I read so my total for 2018 will be 72 books.
Let me know what you are going for in 2018!
This will be my 4th year, itโs crept up from 100 to 130. Weโll see ๐

Congrats on reaching that goal! I havenโt set a goal and Iโm not sure if I will. I missed my goal by a lot this year. We moved in June and that really affected my reading for a couple of months. I thought about setting at 1 so I always get the message that Iโve exceeded it but that seems rather lame. Lol.

Don’t be hard on yourself, moving is so stressful and there is always so much work to do before and after.

Wow, you read a ton last year. Good for you! I set my goal for a minimum of 40 this year. Realistically I know Iโll probably read more, but I donโt want to stress myself.

I was certainly on a roll but have gone with conservative this year. 40 is a great number, you can do it โค

You certainly found the silver lining in neck pain. I hope you are fully recovered and wish you happy reading in 2018.

I’ve set my goal lower this year. I didn’t make it in 2017. It was set to 100 and I only made it to 71 so I’m setting it to at least 70 this year. We’ll see how it goes! Good luck on yours!

70 is a great number. It seems the books I read lately are all at least 400 pages or over so those take time!!! ๐

Mine has crept up every year, last year I upped it four times so this year it is 200. I will probably regret this!

That’s what I thought! Someone asked her if she had typed it wrong and she said no and that she didn’t hardly ever sleep. That’s like nearly 20 books a week! ๐ฎ
