#ReadAway2024 @Andrew @DieAReader @Ghabi4Roses
Major reading goal=read more books from my tbr. Buddyreads & readathons give me the opportunity to explore new authors and explore more genres. I will be reading this year some books chosen in 2023 for some of these reading activities, I bought the books but couldn‘t read them😳I‘m a slow reader🤷🏽‍♀️I also want to read some big books I own, I started with Game Of Thrones series.

DieAReader Fantastic goals🤓📚 Great to have you with us! 3mo

At the beginning of last year I didn‘t think this was a realistic goal but I did (actually read 101 books for the year). I started listening to audiobooks this year which allowed me to read more. Definitely plan to continue with the same goal for 2024.

I haven't set any reading goals for 2024, but have identified a few reading directions. I'd like to do more re-reading, dig into fairy tales, and tackle the unread books on my shelf. (A Book outlet order is enroute as I write. 🙈)
I used those 'directions' to create my January 2024 #bookspin list. I have lots of #TOB books to get to as well.
Here's to kicking off another great year of reading!

I‘ll have a better idea once I finalize my spreadsheet, but for now I can say it was a mixed bag!

I didn‘t really set a numerical goal, but I think I will have read 74 or 75 depending on whether I finish anything else today.

I bailed on #ReadingTheAmericas2023 but left many of the selections on my TBR.

I finished at least ten books published in 2023 and read approximately 75% of #authoramonth and book club selections.

I‘m always shocked (happily so) when I see how much I actually read during the year! I never feel like I get through enough but clearly I was busy 🤣. Most of these are from audiobooks, which have definitely become my primary way of consuming books over the last few years. I can‘t wait to see what I read next year! #goodreads #myyearinreview

I‘ll be lucky if I make it halfway to the original goal I set for myself…I‘ve had more impressive reading years, that‘s for sure!!
Still going to try to squeeze in a couple more.

I did more buying new books and collecting them this year than I‘ve actually been reading, admittedly.

Anyone else have a slow reading year?

No? Just me? Okay.

😥😅😓

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘ve had an up and down reading year - sometimes even the books I‘m really enjoying reading have been a struggle to pick up. Audiobooks have helped. We‘ve got to remember the end number doesn‘t really matter (no matter what the GR tracker says) (edited) 4mo
Bookwomble I've had a good reading year, which translates to a bad clothes-ironing year! I was determined to get some long-standing TBRs under my belt, which I have 🏆😊 But, like you, I've bought more than I've read to add back to the pile 🫤 Like @thegirlwiththelibrarybag , I don't worry too much about my reading target as I set it at a level I'm confident of achieving. Life has enough stressful challenges without making my escape route one of them! 4mo
TheBookgeekFrau Nah, it's not just you. Life just likes to fight for our attention sometimes 😂 4mo
LeafingThroughLife I‘ve had a fairly decent reading year (for me, that is), but I have, unfortunately (?) also had a *great* buying year, so my TBR remains undented despite my reading efforts. 🤦‍♀️ 4mo

I went through a reading slump at the start of the year and am trying to decide where to change my reading goal. I was hoping to read a book every two weeks but I stopped reading entirely from Feb to June. To reach that now I‘d really have to step it up and I don‘t want reading to be a chore.

Do you ever change your goals to make them achievable after you‘ve set them?

Caroline2 Absolutely. In fact, this year I didn‘t make any goals at all. I just read for pleasure. 👍 8mo
Bookwomble Totally! Reading goals should be a gentle incentive to take time out for yourself, not an insurmountable hurdle you beat yourself up for not getting over. Go easy on yourself - life's tough enough as it is 😊💖 8mo
Kitta @caroline2 @Bookwomble Thanks for your input! I‘ll adjust my goal down and keep it enjoyable, if I hit my original goal I‘ll be happy, but this will take the pressure off. 8mo

I'm SO pleased! I've always wanted to read more and I've finally found some habits/approaches that are working for me. I've had a 50 book yearly reading goal for ages and last year was the first year I met it. My final book count for 2022 was 62. I didn't want to change my goal for 2023 because I wasn't sure if reaching it in 2022 was a fluke.

I am obsessed with cross referencing StoryGraph and Goodreads. Who doesn‘t love a nice pile of colorful graphs? 😀

#2022stats :
Total books: 114
Total pages: 40,120
Fiction: 72
Nonfiction: 42
E-books: 50
Audiobooks: 2

My GR goal was 1 book. Yes, one. I hit it on Jan. 2, and the rest of the year was just GR congratulating me on what a great job I was doing. No pressure. I highly recommend it . 🙂

Amiable @JamieArc Right? I actually set a page goal (40,000) this year on Storygraph instead of a book total in GR. It forced me to pick up the bigger books I‘d been avoiding when I was trying to hit a higher book goal. 1y

I do have one book related goal for 2022 - use StoryGraph to record all the books I read this year. I started to last year, but stopped at some point for no good reason. But I want the stats and the graphs. I moved the app to my homepage next to the goodreads and litsy apps to help remind me.

Hooked_on_books I‘ve decided I want to use this as well and have started to, but find the app slow and glitchy. Are you having the same problem? 2y
nitalibrarian @Hooked_on_books I haven't used the app enough to get a good sense of it yet, but I've seen other people say it's glitchy and not that great. 2y
mandarchy I started using story graph recently. I'm not finding it glitchy, but I'm struggling to get used to it. My problem with both story graph and goodreads is that I am less interested in book recommendations and more interested in making connections with people. I wish they were more social. 2y
nitalibrarian @mandarchy when I 1st joined goodreads many years ago, I made friends by being active in different groups. I'm not sure if groups are still as active? 2y
mandarchy @nitalibrarian I should try more with groups. The ones I've tried were either completely inactive or spent more time talking about what they should read next - when I'm not interested in reading the same thing as everyone. I could never be a buddy reader or book club member. 2y

In 2021, I met several reading goals, including reading 100+ new-to-me books; I am a huge re-reader and returning to old faves almost always outpaces new discoveries. It felt good to dive into so many new stories.

In 2022, I'm lowering my overall numbers goal and aiming to knock a few epics off my #TBR- I have more than a few waiting for me that are 750+ pages and I want this to be the year I dig in! What are your reading goals? #ReadingGoals2022

ravenlee Are you participating in the #ChunksterChallenge? 2y
Andrea313 @ravenlee I didn't know that was a thing! Can you tell me more? Are there specific titles involved, or a schedule? Or is it a general challenge for folks to read what they like and when? 2y
ravenlee I‘m not participating (yet…pondering), but @Amiable hosts #chunksterchallenge2022 as a community of readers who like big books and they cannot lie (😆). It‘s a choose-your-own book and pace but cheer-each-other-on kind of challenge. 2y

Amiable @ravenlee Thanks for sharing! @Andrea313 , you are welcome to join our chunkster crew! A bunch of us are committing to completing at least one chunkster of our choice in 2022. That‘s it! For the purposes of this annual challenge, I personally always pick a book that is approximately 1,000 pages or more. But it‘s really about tackling at least one giant book that you‘ve always wanted to read but have been intimidated by the size. 2y

This year for my book reading goals, I‘m going back down to 25 books, because 38 this year was a struggle. Life has changed a bit with dating my boyfriend and spending more time chatting with my family. Even my creative writing has taken a step aside, but I will get back to it. I‘m committing myself to writing a 20,000 word novella by year‘s end. The balance is in the mix.

Guys I‘ve read 99 books this year!! I‘ve never read that many in one year before! I also can‘t possibly stop at 99 (my OCD won‘t allow it 😬) so I‘ve downloaded a super short audiobook to listen to tomorrow. Might some consider that cheating? Possibly. Do you think I care? NOPE!

annahenke Wow! So many - nice!! 2y

I did it! I‘ve averaged reading 57 books for the Goodreads reading challenge for the last 6 years. One year I read 68 books - my highest until now. In 2020 I only read 39 books 🥴🥴By far my lowest. I aimed high for 2021 and I passed it!

Prior to GR reading challenges, I can see that I rarely even got to 50 books in a year. As my kids have grown, and one now lives away at college, there is more time for my favorite hobby📚💕🥰

Cortg Great job! I made a higher than usual goal that I won‘t make but I‘m A-OK with that! I‘m glad you‘re finding more reading time! 2y
