2019 Reading Challenge

I was going to start slow and go for 50 books, but I've actually hit 48 yesterday. So I may extend this to around 70-75.

With university about to start again, maybe that's too ambitious?

I'm going to do 50 , this is my 2019 target. May the Almighty God guide me through.

I am aiming for 100 books. I thought my goal was a bit too high at first, but I am loving getting lost in all the different worlds and characters, so fingers crossed I can reach it!

I started getting back to reading again last August so I did not choose a big number for my goal this year. I started at 10 and then when I get closer, I would adjust the number. Now I am at 30 and I'm 2 books ahead.

Right now, I'm aiming for 30 and I'm 2 books ahead. Just started reading again last August that's why the number is not that high.

My goal at the beginning of the year was 1 book per week, so 52 total books. So far I am ahead of schedule at 47 books, most of which have been read in the past month

I only wanted to read 25 books this year (roughly 2 per month). I started my goal mid-year, and I am already over halfway there!

At the beginning of the year, I chose 52 books...one per week. I used to work 3-4 jobs at a time and barely had time for a handful of books. I now work from home on my own schedule and have almost unlimited time for reading. So far I have read 72 books! The majority of them have been read since October since I started my blog and bookstagram.

For the coming year, I plan to have read at least 200 books because nothing beats sitting in a room with a good book, listening to music while lying on the floor for a couple of hours.

I wish I had more time to read but I plan to read as much as possible, maybe sixty books.

I'm aiming for 50 books (though, since I started reviewing books of others and joined the onlinebookclub, I’m already at 10 in the last couple of weeks

I'm aiming low because I'm hoping to get to some of my longer to-read books (like Ulysses and some classic Poetry books). Besides, I’m also on author so I need to write too

My Goodreads reading goal last year was fifty and I achieved it. It was the first new years resolution I completed. This year I set it to seventy-five and I'm at 55%. I'm including graphic-novels and audiobooks. I read a lot of epic fantasy so I figure it all evens out somewhere in the end.
