My goals for 2025!!

MatchlessMarie I am wanting to visit more Indy bookstores this year too. But since I am also trying to limit what I add to my shelves I‘m trying to let myself visit a bookstore for every 5 physical books I complete / give away lol Good luck on your goals! 8h

It‘s been quite a year! I do keep track of everything, & I do mean everything, that I read. This year I read:
? 163 full-length novels
? 104 audiobooks
? 828 graphic novels
? 844 Jace‘s books
? 366 livres en français
? 68 Sweet Valley books
? 20 poetry books
? 6 art books
? 19 cookbooks
? 33 novellas/short stories
? 6 chunksters
? 133 Christmas books (including Jace‘s)

Here‘s to another year with lots of good books! ??

BookwormAHN Wow 👏🏻 😮 16h
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I keep track of everything on Goodreads and I write down everything in the notes app on my phone. I use to do book journaling but it became too much of a chore. I also keep track of the books I read with my eyeballs on Bookly. Just started using it a couple of months ago but it‘s good for keeping track of how much time you spend reading. 🤓 15h
julesG That's just wow!!! 14h
Gissy What???😱I thought another Litsy friends was the one who has read more books in 2024 with 404 books and now I see this. Just amazing🤩🎉📚🎊👏👏👏👏 10h
TorieStorieS I downloaded Bookly a while ago, but never really got the hang of using it to time reading! I still physically book journal, and though it‘s time consuming, I have been doing it since 2008 & I also keep separate stats in my planner! And I use Goodreads and StoryGraph as well, so it‘s a bit redundant! 🤣 9h

I read 77 books for 2024, my original goal was to read 100. But my life was full of too many ups & downs this year & reading was not a priority. I‘m hoping to get back into different reading challenges & using my book journal again this year. Overall still a decent year of reading but I still have a huge TBR list to get through

Ruthiella Nice work! 👏👏👏 1d

Reading Goals: Extended Readers for Basic Reading | Glenn McCracken, Charles Child Walcutt

In 2025, I'd like to find solace in reading.

I'd like to be a more present, dedicated reader, keeping better track of my accomplishments (even small ones!) and celebrating my progress.

I'd like to try, in earnest, to participate in activities that'll motivate me to be a more conscientious consumer by reading from my collection rather than just building upon it.

#readingchallenges #readinggoals

Hooked_on_books These look like great goals! I‘ve been working on reading my own books for the last several years with mixed results. I still read lots of books from other places but have managed to make my personal library net negative for several years in a row! 💪🏼 3d
Sace Wonderful goals. I struggle so hard to stop acquiring books. 2d
Librariana @Hooked_on_books - That's awesome, Holly! Good on you for making the net negative so consistently! ☺️ There is something to be said about dedicating one's self to not just acquiring books for the sake of building a beautiful collection (although, don't get me wrong, ain't nothing bad about that!), but actually READING the titles we bring into our homes. I find great comfort in SEEING them... their spines... (cont'd) 2d
See All 10 Comments
Librariana @Hooked_on_books But I should also help them fulfill their mission/purpose 😁 2d
Librariana Oh, @Sace ... I hope my goals didn't come across as shaming of anyone else's choices because that wasn't the intention ? Some years back, I attempted to do a "no buy" challenge, but I failed miserably after about... 4 months, I wanna say? ? I can't stop buying books altogether, but I definitely want to put some effort into being more conscientious about WHAT I purchase, which I think I did better with this past year. 2d
Librariana @Sace I want, more than anything, to not just let my books sit on a shelf and gather dust. I want to take the poor dears down and actually READ them! Ain't nothing wrong with continuing to add to our collections, but I'd hate for my older books to get resentful of the newer acquisitions 😉 2d
Sace Oh I didn‘t feel shamed at all! I found this post very inspiring. I just meant that I already have so many books, but it is so hard to resist getting new ones. I want to be better about that too. 2d
Deblovestoread Love this post and seeing others make an effort to read from their shelves. It‘s my main goal for 2025. Not a book buying ban because books will be bought but hopefully in a more conscientious way. 2d
Librariana @Sace I am right there with ya on how hard it is to resist!! I have a friend who is the owner of a local indie bookstore, and I gotta tell ya... it is a constant exercise in self-control 😆Her store it is one of my happy places 🥰 2d
Librariana I love the way you phrased that, @Deblovestoread! "Not a book buying ban because books will be bought" TRUE! I tried keeping myself from buying and I was only able to hold off for a few months. I don't want to deny myself that pleasure, but you're right about being more conscientious. 2d

Now to see how many more books that I can read this year!

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.

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‘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) 14mo
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! 14mo
TheBookgeekFrau Nah, it's not just you. Life just likes to fight for our attention sometimes 😂 13mo
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. 🤦‍♀️ 13mo

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. 👍 1y
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 😊💖 1y
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. 1y

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. 2y

Looking at finalizing my 2023 book goals and was wondering what everyone is thinking for their own book goals??

wanderinglynn There are so many great 2023 reading challenges, it‘s hard to pick which ones to do! 2y
Ruthiella I‘m definitely going to work on reading books I own so as to makes more space…for more books! 😆 2y
BooksNBowls My goal for 2022 was 100 and I read 132, but I‘m having a baby in March so I‘m wondering if I‘ll be able to do it again. 😅 Might just set it for 50 or 60 for 2023. 2y

Kshakal @BooksNBowls good for you! And congratulations! 💗 2y
Branwen I try to stay away from specific challenges other than a number goal! I am such a mood reader that sometimes specific reading goals don't work for me. 😫 But, number wise, I'm setting a 200 book goal and we'll see where that goes! 😄📚💕 2y
Kshakal @Branwen that is an impressive goal… can‘t wait to see your progress 🤓 2y

This is the reading goal I set for myself on The StoryGraph. I‘m hoping to reach this goal by reading short Christmas books.

1. I‘ve realized I‘m not going to read 88 books this year, so I dialed it down to a more reasonable number.
2. Implied but not specifically.

TheSpineView I think goals should be flexible and I like to reaccess midyear. Thanks for playing! 2y
